BackgroundCentral retinal arteriolar (CRAE) and venular (CRVE) diameter equivalents are predictive for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in humans.The aim of this study was to investigate the inter- and intraobserver variability for the assessment of CRAE and CRVE in mice using fluorescein contrast enhancement as compared to crude analysis.Met
In order to solve the high heat generation of equipment in coal mines, which causes a heavy burden on the water supply and drainage system, as well as the easy scaling problem of wax halloween candy equipment heat exchangers, an innovative solution based on reverse flow closed-type cooling tower was proposed.This solution was developed by using Flu
The periodic outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever, zika fever, and yellow fever all over the world highlights the need for effective mosquito control methods targeting the biological system.Due to the lack of therapeutic measures, preventive treatments or vaccines against pathogens, insecticide resistance eventually lead the navy b
Social relationships are important predictors of a range of individual outcomes, such as wellbeing and health.These social relationships are conceptualised in different ways, such as (inter-personal) forms of social support, identification with groups, or social capital.What is the overlap among these concepts and in what ways do they differ? The p
Flexure-based mechanisms have been widely used for scanning tunneling microscopy, nanoimprint lithography, fast servo tool system and micro/nano manipulation.In this paper, a novel planar micromanipulation stage with large rotational displacement is proposed.The designed monolithic manipulator has three degrees of freedom (DOF), i.e.two translation
