It is rarely the case that an analyst is presented with a sample in a suitable form for injection into an LC/MS system. Often the sample must be manipulated to concentrate the compound of interest, remove interferences, enzymatically digest the sample to generate surrogate peptides with better mass spectrometric properties, and modify the sample matrix or buffering system to achieve compatibili...

Many algorithms proposed in networking research papers are widely used in many areas, including Congestion Control, Routing, Traffic Engineering, and Load Balancing. In this paper, we present algorithmic advancements that have impacted the practice of Congestion Control (CC) in datacenters and the Internet. Where possible, we also describe negative examples, ideas that looked promising on paper...

Chemokines play an important role in normal bone physiology and the pathophysiology of many bone diseases. The recent increased focus on the individual roles of this class of proteins in the context of bone has shown that members of the two major chemokine subfamilies-CC and CXC-support or promote the formation of new bone and the remodeling of existing bone in response to a myriad of stimuli. ...

Spreading dynamics of liquid droplets impacting onto powder bed are experimentally studied using high-speed photography. Dimensionless numbers— We , Re the modified * and ∗ corrected by substrate deformation—are used to analyze impact behaviors droplets. The spreading time maximum factor further analyzed. is accurately described a universal scaling law that obtained from dimensionless vs. effec...

They include nature of work, training promotion, income, leadership, colleagues...

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently suffer from exercise intolerance, leading to a reduced ability to participate in activities of daily life and, therefore, to a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). An important determinant of exercise intolerance is the loss of muscle mass. Although the mechanism for loss of muscle function is multi-factorial, deco...
