REGULATION OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF INTEGRIN TO CELL ATTACHMENT ON POLY(2-METHOXYETHYL ACRYLATE) (PMEA) ANALOGOUS POLYMERS FOR ATTACHMENT-BASED CELL ENRICHMENT.

Cell enrichment is currently in high demand in medical engineering.We have reported that non-blood cells can attach to a blood-compatible poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) substrate through integrin-dependent and integrin-independent mechanisms because the PMEA substrate suppresses protein adsorption.Therefore, we assumed that PMEA analogous pol

Summary Societal Impact Statement Climate change continues to intensify the challenges of food production as agricultural systems face more variable and extreme weather.Coupled with increasing human population, growers must balance increasing crop yields with nutrient content to prevent global malnutrition.Photosynthetic diversity may permit some c

Real-time operational research can be defined as research on strategies or interventions to assess if they are feasible, working as planned, scalable and effective.The research involves primary data collection, periodic analysis during the conduct of the study and dissemination of the findings to policy makers for timely action.This paper aims to i

Diesel engine connecting rod bolt withstands pre-tightening force and tensile load in working process,its strength and stiffness have great effect on the performance.An assembly model of the connecting rod which had considered the detail of threaded portion was built,and the strength of those bolts were analyzed with the finite element method.On th

The possibility of an accurate estimation of the pipe wall thickness measured directly from the reconstructed image of the pipe, reconstructed from only a few X-ray projections made in a limited viewing angle, is discussed.Since the effects of radiation scattering and X-ray beam hardening distort up to 50 % of the Bones primary radiation, ignoring
