In this paper we report on how to increase the selectivity of gas sensors by using fluoropolymer membranes.The mass transport of polar and non-polar gases HEADWEAR through a polymer membrane matrix was studied by systematic selection of polymers with different degrees of fluorination, as well as polymers whose monomers have ether groups (-O-) in ad
Gemcitabine is among the most efficacious and widely used antimetabolite agents.Its molecular targets are ribonucleotide reductase M1 (RRM1) and elongating DNA.Acquired and de novo resistance as a result of RRM1 overexpression are major obstacles to therapeutic efficacy.We deployed a synthetic lethality screen to investigate if knockdown of 87 sele
This short work presents a popular fringe theory HEADWEAR as a source of case studies for use in teaching informal logic in an introductory course.It puts forward ancient astronaut theory as the candidate source, together with a characterization of why it fits the bill.The televised material associated with that theory is well suited to being used
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the current standard of care in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).However, large thrombus is an independent predictor for stent thrombosis and major adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing primary angioplasty for STEMI.Here we report a BIFIDUS series of STEMI patients with large thrombus
Abstract Background The gastrointestinal tracts of animals are home to large, complex communities of microbes.The compositions of these communities ultimately reflect the coevolution of microorganisms with their animal host and are influenced by the living environment, diet and immune status of the host.Gut microbes have been shown to be important
