in previous years, identification of fetal cells in maternal blood circulation has caused a new revolution in non-invasive method of prenatal diagnosis. low number of fetal cells in maternal blood and long-term survival after pregnancy limited the use of fetal cells in diagnostic and clinical applications. with the discovery of cell-free fetal dna (cffdna) in plasma of pregnant women, access to...

The experimental investigation of material flow in rotary drums is studied. An equipment in the size of pilot-scale was used to collect experimental data for investigation of validity of the conventional steady-state model of material flow in rotary drums. Also, the transient data of the time required for material movement in the empty drum up to any specified cross section are also reported. T...

a 3-km reach of the luján river was studied by establishing 6 sampling stations, which were from 300 to 500 m apart. the first station was the control reading for river nutrients and particulate material. the second station measured the continuous effluent from a wastewater treatment plant flow of the city of luján and was, therefore, considered a continuous addition point of nutrients. the oth...

Development of an eco-friendly, low cost and high energy density LiMnPO4 cathode material has attracted much attention due to its high operating voltage vs. Li falling within the electrochemical stability window of conventional electrolyte solutions and offers more safety features due to the presence of a strong P-O covalent bond.Synthesis of battery materials integrates the...

The past decade has witnessed an emerging and fast-growing field on mechanically soft systems, ranging from materials (e.g. hydrogels) to devices flexible electronics), functional systems robotics). It is envisioned that will continue thrive in the coming decades academia industrial communities. launch of Soft Science provide first dedicated platform for publishing research findings share knowl...
