Many diverse endeavors and products ranging from ion channel research, to tissueengineering, to biosensors, to clinical diagnostics, to home pregnancy tests rely heavilyon creating highly localized areas of specific biological activity on a surface. Creating this bio-functionalized surface as part of an integrated microfluidic system thatcan withstand the rigors of further manufactu...

The neutron spectrometer discussed here consists of a windowless PIN diode coupled with a polyethylene converter (thickness 1 mm). Neutrons are detected through the recoil-protons generated in the converter via elastic scattering. The response functions composing the response matrix for unfolding the spectra of energy Ed deposited in silicon by recoil-protons were determined analytically [1]. T...

This research examines how nonprofits use the internet to build public relations and increase charitable giving by analysing the content of the websites of various nonprofit organisations listed in the top 100 NPOs published by The Nonprofit Times. While there is no difference for most variables in the fundraising and communication practices between top tier and bottom tier NPOs divided by tota...
