In recent years paper-based microfluidic systems have emerged as versatile tools for developing sensors in different areas. In this work; we report a novel physical sensing principle for the characterization of liquids using a paper-based hygro-mechanical system (PB-HMS). The PB-HMS is formed by the interaction of liquid droplets and paper-based mini-structures such as cantilever beams. The pro...

Critical laboratory results require timely and accurate transmission to the appropriate caregiver to provide intervention to prevent an adverse outcome. We report the use of text messages to notify critical laboratory results in a large teaching hospital to manage the documentation and audit requirements of critical result reporting by regulatory agencies. The text messaging system (critical re...

PURPOSE To describe hypermobility, balance, pain, activity, and participation in children with hypermobility and compare these characteristics with those of a control group. METHOD Twenty children aged 8 to 16 years with hypermobility syndrome (HMS) or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and a control group of 24 children of the same age participated in the study. Hypermobility was assessed according to t...

Changing definitions and classifications of hematologic malignancies (HMs) complicate incidence comparisons. HAEMACARE classified HMs into groupings consistent with the latest World Health Organization classification and useful for epidemiologic and public health purposes. We present crude, age-specific and age-standardized incidence rates for European HMs according to these groupings, estimate...

Computational detection of TF binding patterns has become an indispensable tool in functional genomics research. With the rapid advance of new sequencing technologies, large amounts of protein-DNA interaction data have been produced. Analyzing this data can provide substantial insight into the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. However, the massive amount of sequence data presents daunti...

Due to customers' requirements for customized products that meet their unique needs, manufacturing companies have to be more agile with how their shopfloors are configured. One paradigm for ensuring such agility is that of Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS). In a HMS, artificially intelligent entities (called holons) act both autonomously and cooperatively to manage the shopfloor in a distribu...

The study aimed to determine the effects of feeding outdoor-grown hydroponics maize sprouts (HMS) on growth performance and digestibility nutrients in goats. Three treatment groups (n = 5), group T1 (control), were fed 500 g concentrate, Napier grass; T2, HMS, while T3 had sole HMS using a completely randomized design. results showed that better feed nutritive composition with lower concentrati...

Medicinal plants (HMS) have been part of everyday life in Mexico, despite being popular, little has documented about their knowledge and use. A diagnosis was made to know the perception general public, housewives, doctors, teachers people dedicated herbalism medicinal (HMS). The instruments poll (100), survey (130), census (37) interview (6) were used sectors population mentioned above. Descrip...
