Hypothesis: Oil-water interfaces that are created by confining a certain amount of oil in a square shaped pixel (∼200 x 200 μm2 with a height of ∼10 μm) topped by a layer of water, have a curvature that depends on the ...

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of layered materials that hold great promise for a wide range of applications. Their practical use can be limited by their thermal transport properties, which have proven ...

Previous work has suggested a different developmental timeline and role of visual experience for the use of spatial and non-spatial features in haptic object recognition. To investigate this conjecture, we used a haptic ...

Campylobacter fetus comprises two closely related mammal-associated subspecies: Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus (Cff) and Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis (Cfv). The latter causes bovine genital campylobacteriosis, ...

A methodology is described that can provide heparan sulfate oligosaccharides having a Δ4,5-double bond, which are needed as analytical standards and biomarkers for mucopolysaccharidoses. It is based on chemical oligosaccharide ...

Patients with prostate cancer (PCa) have a lower docetaxel exposure for both intravenous (1.8-fold) and oral administration (2.4-fold) than patients with other solid cancers, which could influence efficacy and toxicity. ...

This study underscores the significance of home-country events in shaping connections between diaspora and their country of origin. Focusing on immigrants from Turkey who migrated to the Netherlands in 2012/2013, our ...

We provide a framework for relating certain q-series defined by sums over partitions to multiple zeta values. In particular, we introduce a space of polynomial functions on partitions for which the associated q-series are ...

Gold-based bimetallic nanostructures exhibit unique optical and catalytic properties that are strongly dependent on their composition and nanoscale geometry. Here we show the nano-structural transformation of mesoporous- ...
