MCMC inversion of the transient and steady-state creep flow law parameters of dunite under dry and wet conditions by Masuti, Sagar, Barbot, Sylvain

“…We find the activation energy 430 ± 20 and 250 ± 10 kJ/mol for dry and wet conditions, respectively, and the stress exponent 2.0 ± 0.1 for both the dry and wet cases for transient creep, consistently lower than those of steady-state creep, suggesting a separate physical mechanism. …”

Non-invasive nanosensor monitoring of mRNA expression for regenerative medicine application by Wiraja, Christian

“…Subsequently, nanosensor was applied to validate and track osteogenic (2D) and chondrogenic (3D hydrogel) differentiation of MSCs. In both cases, loading of nanosensors with both functional MBs (against specific differentiation markers) and reference MBs (against housekeeping gene), enable accurate depiction of cellular gene expression with good correlation against results from gold-standard of PCR (R2 value between 0.8 to 0.9). …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 98

“…Structural issues are likely to prevent any reversal of these trends in the years to come, unless radical reforms are enacted, as in the case of Mexico.</p> <p>The energy-related relationship of the region with the world, and especially with the USA and the international industry, is being re-evaluated as its profile gradually shifts from that of an exporter of commodities towards one of an importer of petroleum products.…”

Anti-leukaemic and chemotherapy supportive effects of berberis vulgaris l. Fruit crude extract on in vitro and in vivo models by Saedi, Tayebeh Azam

“…The disease is characterized by increasing of immature white blood cells called "blasts", and is estimated to account for about 3% of incident cases for all kind of cancer worldwide. There are different kinds of treatment methods for leukaemia including chemotherapy, which is known to have side effects. …”
