An improved 96-well turbidity assay for T4 lysozyme activity Report Title T4 lysozyme (T4L) is an important model system for investigating the relationship between protein structure and function. Despite being extensively studied, a reliable, quantitative activity assay for T4L has not been developed. Here, we present an improved T4L turbidity assay as well as an affinity-based T4L expression a...

BACKGROUND Among adolescent pregnancies, 75% are unintended. Greater use of highly-effective contraception can reduce unintended pregnancy. Although multiple studies discuss adolescent contraceptive use, there is no consensus regarding the use of long-acting reversible contraception as a first-line contraception option. OBJECTIVE We performed a systematic review of the medical literature to a...

This paper describes a strategy for a robotic hand to pick up deformable 3D objects on a table. Inspired by human hand behavior, the robotic hand employs two rigid fingers to first squeeze such an object until it “feels” the object to be liftable. Such “feeling” is provided by a (virtual) liftability test that is repeatedly conducted during the squeeze. Passing of the test then triggers a lifti...
