Artificial protocellular compartments and lipid vesicles have been used as model systems to understand the origins and requirements for early cells, as well as to design encapsulated reactors for biotechnology.One prominent feature of Astaxanthin vesicles is the semi-permeable nature of their membranes, able to support passive diffusion of individu
Effect of saline injection mixing on accuracy of conductance lumen sizing of peripheral vessels.
Transient displacement of blood in vessel lumen with saline injection is necessary in the conductance method for measurement of arterial cross-sectional area (CSA).The displacement of blood is dictated by the interactions between arterial flow hemodynamics and saline injection dynamics.The objective of the present study is to understand ULTIMATE FL
A self-powered nano-photodetector based on PFH/ZnO nanorods organic/inorganic heterojunction
PFH/ZnO nanorods heterojunctions were fabricated by spin-coating p-type Poly (9,9-dihexylfluorene) Prime (PFH) on n-type vertically aligned ZnO nanorod arrays grown by a facile hydrothermal method on indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent conductive glass.A typical p-n junction behavior was observed in the fabricated heterojunction.The current of heter
A short-time scale colloidal system reveals early bacterial adhesion dynamics.
The development of bacteria on abiotic surfaces has important public health and sanitary consequences.However, despite several decades of study of bacterial adhesion to inert surfaces, the biophysical mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood, due, in particular, to the lack of methodologies covering the appropriate time scale.Usin
Morbidity Pattern among the Geriatric Population in an Urban Area of Davangere, Karnataka
Background: According to census 2011 the elderly population aged 60 years and above accounts for 8% of the total population and is projected to Sailing Drysuit rise to 12.4% by the year 2026.The elderly are one of the most vulnerable and high-risk groups in terms of health status and hence their health-related problems need to be assessed and addre
