A significant challenge in modern clinical medicine is that despite the existence of genetic therapies, lack of techniques to deliver them to the body remains a major roadblock. Viral vectors, benign vehicles for therapeutic delivery produced by removing the reproductive and virulence capacities of wild-type viruses, address this obstacle [1]. Unfortunately, if there is no naturally-occurring v...

This work introduces a new and simple method for adjusting the gain of current mirror. The major advantage of the proposed architecture is that, unlike the conventional variable gain current mirror, it does not need the change of the biasing current to adjust current gain. Therefore, the power dissipation remains constant in all of the gain settings. In addition, the proposed variable gain curr...

Eleven fish species were identified from Homestead Cave, Utah. The remains, concentrated in the lowest stratum of the deposit, were accumulated by owls between approximately 11,200 and 10,100 14C yr B.P. and likely represent fish associated with the final die-off of the Lake Bonneville fauna. Four of the species (Salvelinus confluentus, Prosopium abyssicola, Catostomus discobolus, Richardsonius...

Abstract Fish represent a key economic, social and ecological group of species that humans have exploited for tens thousands years. However, as many fish stocks are going into decline with little known about the anthropogenic impacts on health marine ecosystem pre-Industrial Revolution, understanding historical archaeological exploitation is to accurately modelling these changes. Here, we explo...

Introduction Monitoring of microbiological contaminants in water supplies requires fast and sensitive methods for the specific detection of indicator organisms or pathogens. The Fluorescence in situ Hybridisation (FISH) technology has been proven to represent a sensitive and rapid molecular method for the specific detection of microorganisms. Within the TECHNEAU project a protocol for the simul...
