Quick Thinking Turns out Low-Cost Ventilators

Dipt turns out be

Notation: In the sequel K is a field and Σn is the group of permutation over n elements. If A is an operad, then the K-vector space of n-ary operations is denoted as usual by A(n). Recall that if A is regular, then A(n) := An⊗KΣn, where An is the K-vector space of n-ary operations without permutations of the entries. We adopt Sweedler notation for binary cooperation ∆ on a K-vector space V and ...

Lean thinking turns 'time is brain' into reality.

Intravenous rt-PA is an effective recanalizing treatment for ischemic stroke within 4 and half hours from its onset (Onset-to-Treatment [OTT]), with the best result seen in those treated within 90 minutes OTT. Yet few patients currently are treated in this time frame. From the standpoint of process improvement or a lean thinking perspective, there is a potential opportunity to reduce the time b...

Development: Hippo Signalling Turns the Embryo Inside Out

Lineage decisions in development are thought to be primarily due to differential activation of transcription factors. However, cell position and subcellular organization of signalling also play a role. New studies of the Hippo pathway in the early mouse embryo show how.

Algal Morphogenesis: How Volvox Turns Itself Inside-Out

The coordinated movements of epithelial tissues play vital roles in a variety of processes, from embryonic development to wound healing. The multicellular green alga Volvox carteri is a useful model organism for studying one such movement: epithelial bending [2]. During embryogenesis, the immature spheroid Volvox undergoes a process known as inversion whereby it turns itself completely inside o...
