Biosensors for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) have huge potential and are likely to play a significant role in advanced as well as in the low resource healthcare setups.With time, these devices are gaining traction in cardiac diagnosis, cancer, autoimmune diseases and pathogenic microbial infections.Periodical advancements in nanomaterials employed in
Abstract Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and richness.Using only location, stratified by forest type, as predictor, our spatial model, to the best of our knowledge, p
In 2019, the European Union banned Triton Pulse Spacer X-100, a detergent widely used in laboratory diagnostics, including the Viral PCR Sample Solution (VPSS), and urged manufacturers to find environmentally sustainable alternatives.Tergitol 15-S-9 (VPSS2) has been proposed as an alternative surfactant.This multicenter study evaluated the effectiv
Solar power or photovoltaic (PV) systems have emerged as a leading low-carbon Throw Blanket energy technology worldwide, but the deployment of residential PV systems in Norway has lagged behind other Scandinavian countries.Therefore, the Norwegian market provides an opportunity to gain insights on the demand factors that determine residential PV ad
BACKGROUND:Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi infection) is the leading cause of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy in Latin America.Texas, particularly the southern region, has compounding factors that could contribute to T.cruzi transmission; however, epidemiologic studies are lacking.The aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of T.cru
