Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful assay used to probe DNA-protein interactions. Traditional methods of implementing this assay are lengthy, Cumbersome and require a large number of cells, making it difficult to study rare cell types Such its certain cancer and stem cells. We have designed a microfluidic device to perform sensitive ChIP analysis on low cell numbers in a rapid, auto
Screening for cervical cancer precursors by cytology has been very successful in countries where adequate resources exist to ensure high quality and good coverage of the population at risk. Mortality reductions in excess of 50% have been achieved in many developed countries; however the procedure is generally inefficient and unworkable in many parts of the world where the appropriate infrastructur
Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this article is to analyze verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors of the 1990’s war in northwestern Bosnia. Focus lies on describing how the interviewees portray the social phenomenon of ”victimhood”, and to analyze discoursive patterns which contribute to constructing the cathegory ”victim”. When, after the war, different actors claim this ”victim” statu
The valence band resonant photoemission spectra of a TiO2 sub-monolayer grown on an Al2O3 substrate have been measured throughout the Ti 3p absorption edge, i.e. at photon energies between 40 and 60 eV. The resonance process has been analysed in terms of constant initial state (CIS) curves, showing a peak at 49.5 eV photon energy, corresponding to a Fano-like resonant process. The Ti 3d contributi
Packaging is becoming increasingly important from a marketing as well as logistics perspective, particularly for actors in consumer product supply chains. However, the role of packaging in creating or contributing to the competitive advantage of a company or a whole supply chain is still unexplored to a large extent. This is even the case in businesses where research has shown the benefits of cons
1 INTRODUCTION In a global and highly competitive economy, companies have now adopted an increasingly integrated ap-proach to product development. However, packaging logistics has been left out from this integration trend. The reasons are multiple: first packaging is not considered to be an integral part of the product, so it is not part of the product “culture” of the company. In most companies,
We present a study of a novel variant of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) called the Associative Self-Organizing Map (A-SOM). The A-SOM is similar to the SOM and thus develops a representation of its input space, but in addition it also learns to associate its activity with the activity of one or several external SOMs. The A-SOM has relevance in e.g. the modelling of expectations in one modality due
In order to improve the offered quality of service in a cellular network, load balancing between cells with momentarily different traffic loads can be applied. This can be accomplished through channel borrowing techniques where a cell requiring extra capacity borrows a channel from a less loaded cell in the same region. However, the borrowing of a channel results in an alteration of the channel re
We studied narrow (submicron) constrictions in the layers of ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga, Mn)As. We have demonstrated a contribution of the quantum localization effects to the magnetoresistance of the constricted samples. We have also found a negative contribution of a domain wall trapped in the constriction to the resistance, due presumably to the erasing of the localization effects by the do

Flexibility of the energy system plays a vital role when integrating non-dispatchable renewable energy technologies. However, flexibility of the energy system has been often discussed only focusing on the operation of the energy system. This study extends the flexibility concept considering both design and operation of the energy system. In order to achieve this, pseudo chronological scenarios use
Noise control in buildings should aim at reducing disturbances caused by speech noise (i.e., improve speech privacy, speech intelligibility). Room acoustics can be controlled with high room absorption, high screens and bookcases, and sufficient masking sound. This research concerns as important aspect of room acoustic metrology, the ability to quantify the most relevant room acoustic parameters fo
In the present work, f-wave morphology is characterized by principal component analysis and a novel temporal parameter defined by the cumulative normalized variance of the 3 largest principal components (r3). The 7-day behavior of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) was studied in 9 patients using r3, AF frequency, and sample entropy (SampEn). Detection of circadian rhythms depended on the paramet
Ground vibration from traffic is a source of nuisance in urbanized areas. Trenches and wave barriers can provide mitigation of vibrations, but single barriers need to have a large depth to be effective - especially in the low-frequency range relevant to traffic-induced vibration. Alternatively, periodic repetitions of mass, stiffness or both in an infinite structure lead to so-called stop bands in
Vibration of machinery and construction work are major sources of noise and vibration pollution in the urban environment. The frequencies dominating the vibration, and the distances over which it spreads via the ground, depend on the source. However, soil stratification and foundation type have a significant influence. Thus, in order to achieve fair accuracy in the prediction of ground vibration c
The ability of chevrons at the top edge of a backward-facing step to reduce downstream surface pressure fluctuations is investigated numerically. Three different chevron configurations are compared against a baseline case without chevrons. Low frequency reduction in the surface pressure fluctuations is observed for two of the configurations. The chevrons do not appear to have a significant effect
The majority of terrestrial plants associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which typically facilitate the uptake of limiting mineral nutrients by plants in exchange for plant carbon. However, hundreds of non-photosynthetic plant species—mycoheterotrophs—depend entirely on AM fungi for carbon as well as mineral nutrition. Mycoheterotrophs can provide insight into the operation and regulat
