Mechanical assessment of soft biological tissues and organs has broad relevance in clinical diagnosis and treatment of disease. Existing characterization methods are invasive, lack microscale spatial resolution, and are tailored only for specific regions of the body under quasi-static conditions. Here, we develop conformal and piezoelectric devices that enable in vivo measurements of soft tissu...

Csiszár’s f -divergence of two probability distributions was extended to the quantum case by the author in 1985. In the quantum setting, positive semidefinite matrices are in the place of probability distributions and the quantum generalization is called quasi-entropy, which is related to some other important concepts as covariance, quadratic costs, Fisher information, Cramér-Rao inequality and...

The impact of contextual cues in motivating alcohol and other drug use may be influenced by the perceived availability of the substance. This study examined the relationship between perceived availability and alcohol cue reactivity using a quasi-experimental design that harnessed the legal age of alcohol availability in the United States. Participants were 95 (76% male) heavy drinkers in a 2 2 ...

Iminodipeptides containing C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline were determined in sera from patients with prolidase deficiency, in their mother's serum, and in the sera of unrelated controls, using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with an atmospheric pressure ionization interface system. The separation was carried out on a reversed phase column using 1 g/l aqueous trifluoroacetic acid-m...
