We present a microfluidic dielectrophoretic-actuated system designed to trap chosen single-cell and form controlled cell aggregates.A novel method is proposed to characterize the efficiency of the dielectrophoretic trapping, considering the flow speed but also the heat generated by the traps as limiting criteria 1861 remington revolver replica in c
Enrichment of endothelial cell arachidonate by lipid transfer from high density lipoproteins: relationship to prostaglandin I2 synthesis.
We have previously shown that plasma high ceramic baffle board density lipoproteins (HDL) stimulate release of prostacyclin, measured as its stable metabolite, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, by cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells.The present experiments were designed to elucidate the contribution of HDL lipids to endothelial cellular phospholipid pools a
Evaluation of surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity - correlation with gold standard is not enough
Abstract Background Impaired insulin sensitivity is a key abnormality underlying the development of type 2 diabetes.Measuring insulin sensitivity is therefore of importance in identifying individuals at risk of developing diabetes and for the evaluation of diabetes-focused interventions.A number of measures have been proposed for this purpose.Among
Improvement of Power Converters Performance by an Efficient Use of Dead Time Compensation Technique
The advent of renewable energy resources and distributed energy systems herald a new set of challenges of power quality, efficient distribution, and stability in the power system.Furthermore, the power electronic converters integration has been increased in interfacing alternate energy systems and industries with the transmission and distribution g
