Strontium titanate (STO) is of great of interest to use as buffer layer for growing perovskite thin films, since their lattice constant is closely matched to a large number of other perovskite oxides [1]. Biaxially textured STO buffer layer has been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) [2] on rolling assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) made of low cost Cu-clad stainless steel subs...

Development of minimally invasive biomarker assays for early detection and effective clinical management of pancreatic cancer is urgently needed to reduce high morbidity and mortality associated with this malignancy. We hypothesized that if aberrantly expressing microRNAs (miRNA) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues are detected in blood plasma, then plasma profiling of these miRNAs might serve...

Aims, Objectives and Background There is evidence that COVID-19 ‘lockdowns’ may have contributed to increased non-accidental injury, domestic violence self-harm related deteriorating mental health. Internationally, there also the diversion of health care resources led worse outcomes for patients presenting with major trauma. has been no previous national evaluation ‘lockdown’ measures impact on...

This Lessons from History article about the wind-chill index (WCI) explores historical polar and meteorologic literature relevant to topic presents unpublished work 1939. Geographer Paul Siple (1908–1968) was a 6-time Antarctic explorer scientist who invented named WCI in his doctoral dissertation at Clark University. Charles Passel (1915–2002) performed studies Antarctica 1940 that led publica...

A finite element model using two-dimensional coaxial circular sector elements has been developed to study radial and angular heat distribution problem in dermal regions of human limbs. The dermal region is made up of three layers, namely epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. The muscles, bones, major blood vessels and fats form the inner core of the human limb. The model incorporates sig...

The incidence and mortality of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) have steadily increased. Although conventional therapies are very effective toward differentiated PTC patients, limited therapeutic options applicable to those patients with distant metastases. Therefore, better understanding the molecular biology metastatic helps identify novel targets facilitates development new therapies. In this ...

To provide insights into the structure-function relationships of oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (ERG7) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Phe699 was exchanged against hydrophilic polar uncharged residues Ser, Thr, Cys, Gln, and Tyr to characterize its product profile and functional role in ERG7 activity. Among the substitutions, only the ERG7F699T mutant produced novel protosta-13(17),24-dien...
