drug toxicity. Thus Doctors Kalow, Conney, Fouts, and Remer were concerned with the effects of both individual variation in drug-metabolizing enzyme systems and of effects of other drugs such as SKF 525A on such enzymes, which can lead to marked variations in plasma levels of drug. However, as Dr. Westermann reminded us, such drugs as reserpine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and coumarin antico...

Antenna-coupled micro-bridge structure is proven to be a good solution to extend infrared micro-bolometer technology for THz application. Spiral-type antennas are proposed in 25 μm × 25 μm micro-bridge structure with a single separate linear antenna, two separate linear antennas, or two connected linear antennas on the bridge legs, in addition to traditional spiral-type antenna on the support l...

This paper is a preliminary investigation of the organization of a parallel micro-computer designed to emulate a wide variety of sequential and parallel computers. This micro-computer allows tailoring of the control structure of an emulator so that it directly emulates (mirrors) the control structure of the computer to be emulated. An emulated control structure is implemented through a tree typ...

Fibres are the most effective reinforcing material. Simulation of the interaction of matrix with fibres and fibre with other fibres is a most important problem for understanding the behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites (FRC). Large gradients in all displacement, stress and strain fields and their correct simulation for near and far field action are essential for effective computational mode...

This paper presents a review of micro- and nano-structure based oligonucleotide detection and quantification techniques. The characteristics of such devices make them very attractive for Point-of-Care or On-Site-Testing biosensing applications. Their small scale means that they can be robust and portable, their compatibility with modern CMOS electronics means that they can easily be incorporate...
