Abstract Hydrogels are frequently used in regenerative medicine due to their hydrated, tissue-compatible nature, and tuneable mechanics.While many strategies enable bulk mechanical modulation, little attention is given to tuning surface tribology, and its impact on cellular behavior under mechanical stimuli.Here, we demonstrate that photocrosslinki
First nesting record on the ground of the Mottled Owl (Ciccaba virgata), in Grecia, Costa Rica
The Mottled Owl (Ciccaba virgata) is a common species in the Neotropics.Despite this, their reproductive behavior is not completely known.Here I describe the nest of this owl on the ground, registered in Grecia town, Costa Rica.The nest had two white eggs in a natural cavity on the sonics empire ground, near a stream.During a second visit, two mont
AN AIRBORNE CAPABILITY FOR SOUTH AFRICA FROM A SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES PERSPECTIVE
Special Operations Forces (SOF) have received significant emphasis over the last decade, as armed forces require highly trained and rapid deployable forces to tiny gum squares deal with asymmetric threats.The South African (SA) Army identified the need for an SOF capability in its long-term strategy, and airborne forces form an important component
Fabrication of a Micro-Lens Array Mold by Micro Ball End-Milling and Its Hot Embossing
Hot embossing is an efficient technique for manufacturing high-quality micro-lens arrays.The machining quality is significant for hot embossing cinnamon toothpicks candy the micro-lens array mold.This study investigates the effects of micro ball end-milling on the machining quality of AISI H13 tool steel used in the micro-lens array mold.The micro
Comparison of Multiple-Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analysis Profiles of Enteropathogenic Yersinia spp. Obtained from Humans, Domestic Pigs, Wild Boars, Rodents, Pork and Dog Food
The enteropathogenic Yersinia genus is commonly detected in wildlife including wild boars.Difficulties in its cultivation may hamper subsequent epidemiological studies and outbreak investigations.Multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of Yersinia (Y.) enterocolitica and Y.pseudotuberculosis has proven useful in source attribut
