The southeastern United States is characterized as humid subtropical and is subject to
extended periods of high ambient temperature and relative humidity. Because the primary …

Photopolymerized hydrogels are being investigated for a number of tissue engineering
applications because of the ability to form these materials in situ in a minimally invasive …

This paper reviews research on open innovation that considers how and why firms
commercialize external sources of innovations. It examines both the “outside‐in” and …

Metal nanoshells are a class of nanoparticles with tunable optical resonances. In this article,
an application of this technology to thermal ablative therapy for cancer is described. By …

The following study examines the feasibility of nanoshell-assisted photo-thermal therapy
(NAPT). This technique takes advantage of the strong near infrared (NIR) absorption of …

Interest in the sol-gel processing of inorganic ceramic and glass materials began as early as
the mid-1800s with Ebelman1-2 and Graham's3 studies on silica gels. These early …

Cytokines are important in the regulation of haematopoiesis and immune responses, and
can influence lymphocyte development. Here we have identified a class I cytokine receptor …

Widely considered the" gold standard" for the teaching and learning of respiratory
physiology, this fully updated Ninth Edition includes key points for each chapter and multiple …

Pluripotency pertains to the cells of early embryos that can generate all of the tissues in the
organism. Embryonic stem cells are embryo-derived cell lines that retain pluripotency and …

We show that the cytotoxicity of water-soluble fullerene species is a sensitive function of
surface derivatization; in two different human cell lines, the lethal dose of fullerene changed …
