Plastic Deformation During Indentation Of Crystalline And Amorphous Materials
(2013-06-10)Indentation hardness, H, has been widely used to characterize the mechanical properties of materials for more than a century because of the following advantages of this technique; (1) it requires small sample and (2) the ... -
Plasticity of Intrinsic Excitability in Fast Spiking Interneurons of the Dentate Gyrus & Its Implications for Neuronal Network Dynamics
Inhibitory GABAergic neurons, although forming a minor proportion of the neuronal population in the central nervous system, have been reported to be crucial for different physiological states of the brain. Among the vast ... -
A Platform for Handheld Ultrafast PCR
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and specific diagnostic tools available today. Yet, it stands out of reach for many vulnerable populations because commercial solutions are expensive, bulky, ... -
Platform Technologies for In vitro Point-of- Care Diagnostics
In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are critical for making informed clinical decisions. These tests are performed outside the body using specimens such as blood, sputum, saliva, and urine. IVD tests are usually performed ... -
Platinum(II) Complexes as Dual Action DNA Crosslinking & Photochemotherapeutic Agents
