Why do some of the most promising next-generation batteries fail—and how can we stop it? A new peer-reviewed study led by Imperial College London answers that by watching the failure process unfold as the battery operates. Using simultaneous dual-polarity secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) alongside controlled electrochemical cycling, the team directly observed where, when, and why ...
This principle is commonly applied in forensic science to distinguish between death by drowning and postmortem submersion. Microwave digestion provides a highly efficient and controlled approach for the preparation of biological samples for diatom analysis, ensuring accurate and reproducible results in forensic ...
Abstract Cellular function in tissue is dependent on the local environment, requiring new methods for spatial mapping of biomolecules and cells in the tissue context1. The emergence of spatial transcriptomics has enabled genome-scale gene expression mapping2,3,4,5, but the ability to capture spatial epigenetic information of tissue at the cellular level and genome scale is lacking. Here we ...
Although post-mortem brains have been frequently reported as the "gold standard" in transcriptomic research for ND and neuropsychiatric abnormalities, the main sources has been mRNA separated from transgenic animal models and, more lately, patient-derived cell lines. However, despite their promise, transcriptome studies are difficult due to the obvious difficulties in obtaining brain tissue and ...
Until then, tauopathy was mainly characterized by clinical diagnosis and postmortem neuropathology. Combined with their previous work, these findings of cryo-electron microscopy suggest a new, layered approach and use this to classify tau filament folding in tauopathy. ...
We at IMFAA are extremely grateful for the cooperation and the resulting support of our research by Hiden. Our institute is located in the new research building at Aalen University / in southern Germany and we are a team of about 80 scientists, PhD students, Master students, Bachelor students and research assistants. Thanks to Hiden, we are able to do research on a SEM-SIMS combination at the ...
Introduction The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) epidemic in 2013 - 2014 caused high morbidity and mortality for hog farmers throughout North America. Animal feed was identified at that time as a risk factor and one of the potential vehicles to spread the viral disease. Feed Energy's R2 line of products delivers essential nutrients to the animal through the feed source and has proven to ...
Now that solar energy has a larger share in our energy supply, it is becoming more important that solar panels are reliable and behave predictable. To be able to predict when solar panels will fail, insight into the failure mechanism is essential. This knowledge is used to improve the quality and longevity. Scientists at TNO Energy Transition and Solliance Solar Research have developed a ...
This summer, The Climate Trust, a mission-driven nonprofit that specializes in financing climate solutions, has been hosting two high-level interns for projects integral to advancing our burgeoning carbon investment fund. Our Packard Environment Fellow, Jeremy Menkhaus, will provide insight on the development of a carbon-neutral investment product, and our Project Research Intern, Kate Hanson, ...
The Matrix Gemini Laboratory Information System (LIMS) from Autoscribe Informatics has been used to co-ordinate sample tracking, management and reporting across four different locations for a busy veterinary diagnostic and clinical pathology laboratory. Background Nationwide Laboratory Services Is a UKAS accredited independent multi-disciplinary veterinary laboratory providing diagnostic and ...
The mortuary holds approximately 60 bodies (including bariatric facilities) and also has 3 postmortem tables, since post-mortem examinations are sometimes requested by hospital doctors to provide more information about an illness or the cause of death, or to further medical research. ...
Modern, urban population centres are comprised of highly interdependent networks of infrastructures. In normal operating conditions, these interdependencies can be neglected without much trouble, however, in times of emergency, these same interdependencies, often hidden, can debilitate relief efforts. The effects are often noted in disaster response post–mortems as poor distribution of resources ...
While electric and gas utility companies have developed business continuity and disaster recovery plans in the past, the challenging economic environment of recent years has caused utilities to both accelerate new plan development and strengthen existing plans. With increasing threats such as pandemic, natural disasters and physical and cyber security attacks, the changing landscape created by ...
The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using field-based portable ultrasonography to accurately estimate ovary weight, gonadosomatic index (GSI) and fecundity in large-bodied fish species. These reproductive endpoints were estimated using ultrasound on prespawning female northern pike (Esox lucius) and white sucker (Catostomus commersoni) and compared with actual ...
Regardless of the increased spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to several European countries during the late 1990s Japan considered the occurrence of domestic BSE a remote possibility. However, Japan was the first country outside of Europe to report a domestic case of BSE. The public vehemently rejected beef and its increased risk to health. Domestic consumption decreased ...
