Supported Lipid Bilayer Formation and Lipid-Membrane-Mediated Biorecognition Reactions Studied with a New Nanoplasmonic Sensor Template

This paper presents the use of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor concept to probe the formation of macroscopic and laterally mobile supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) on SiOx-encapsulated nanohole-containing Au and Ag films. A comparison between Au- and Ag-based sensor templates demonstrates a higher sensitivity for Au-based templates with respect to both bulk and interfacial refr

Placa de ateroma da bifurcacao carotidea: como identificar a lesao "activa"?

The identification of carotid atheromatous plaques associated to a higher neurologic risk may be important in therapeutic decision making for asymptomatic patients and symptomatic patients with 50%-70% stenosis. The introduction of high-definition ultrasonography (HDU) and computer-assisted image analysis provides the possibility of a standard, objective and detailed characterization of the struct

Analysis of the interaction of Aeromonas caviae, A. hydrophila and A. sobria with mucins

Aeromonas species are known to be involved in human gastrointestinal diseases. These organisms colonize the gastrointestinal tract. Aeromonas hydrophila, A. caviae, and A. sobria have been demonstrated microscopically to adhere to animal cell lines that express mucous receptors, but quantitative studies of adherence to mucosal components such as mucin have not been published to date. Purified bovi

Heart Failure Management in the Elderly. Focus on Health Economics and Quality of Life

The incidence and prevalence of heart failure (HF) has increased successively over the past decade. Mortality and morbidity is high. It is the most common cause of hospitalisation in the elderly and has been estimated to account for 1-3% of health care costs in many countries. There is a need therefore, to improve care for HF patients. However, due to limited economic resources, this must be done

Improved Scheduling of Control Tasks

The paper considers the implementation of digital controllers as real-time tasks in priority-preemptive systems. The performance of a digital feedback control system depends critically on the timing of its sampling and control actions. It is desirable to minimize the computational delay in the controller, as well as the sampling jitter and the control jitter. It is shown that by scheduling the two
