Microfluidic devices for gene preparation and detection by Xu, Guolin

“…In addition, the multi-chambered PCR capability and sensitivity of the all-in-one system for influenza diagnosis have been verified with clinical seasonal H1N1 influenza samples and control experiments. Lastly, in order to enhance the detection capability, a multiplexing PCR device has been developed for rapid filling/sealing of PCR mixture. …”

A controlled field experiment to investigate the deterioration of earthen heritage by wind and rain by Richards, J, Zhao, G, Zhang, H, Viles, H

“…Test walls have previously been used in earthen heritage research as they allow controlled experiments to be undertaken on complex, realistic structures without risking damage or loss of value to the historic material. …”

The effects of NMDA-induced retrohippocampal lesions on performance of four spatial memory tasks known to be sensitive to hippocampal damage in the rat. by Pouzet, B, Welzl, H, Gubler, M, Broersen, L, Veenman, C, Feldon, J, Rawlins, J, Yee, B

“…In the subsequent transfer test, when the escape platform was removed, rats with retrohippocampal lesions tended to spend less time searching in the appropriate quadrant compared to controls. Experiment 2 demonstrated that the lesions also spared the acquisition of a working memory version of the water maze task in which the location of the escape platform was varied between days. …”

Radiolabelled copper complexes for cancer imaging by Hueting, R

Impaired spatial working memory across saccades contributes to abnormal search in parietal neglect. by Husain, M, Mannan, S, Hodgson, T, Wojciulik, E, Driver, J, Kennard, C

“…The frequency of such mistakes in the parietal patient, for different conditions, correlated with the severity of his neglect. Control experiments indicated no perceptual localization deficit in non-search tasks. …”

Comparative planetary circulation regimes in simple general circulation models by Wang, Y

“…Two different versions of the simplified GCM PUMA (Portable University Model for the Atmosphere) are used — PUMA-S with Newtonian cooling scheme and PUMA-G with a semi-grey two-band radiative transfer scheme and dry convective adjustment. A series of controlled experiments are conducted by varying planetary rotation rate and imposed equator-to-pole temperature difference using PUMAS-S, and by varying rotation rate, planetary obliquity, and the ratio of optical depth in long-wave (thermal radiation) band to that in short-wave (stellar radiation) band using PUMA-G. …”

Social laughter triggers endogenous opioid release in humans by Manninen, S, Tuominen, L, Dunbar, R, Karjalainen, T, Hirvonen, J, Arponen, E, Hari, R, Jääskeläinen, I, Sams, M, Nummenmaa, L
