Neural activity in the brain is accompanied by changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and
blood oxygenation that are detectable with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

… Liu [102] characterized the pancreatic lipase activity through determining the release rate
of oleic acid from triolein and comparing the weight loss effects of 30 kinds of fruits and …

Healthy and livable living environments, as well as anti-electromagnetic (EM) radiation

The recombination of electron–hole pairs severely detracts from the efficiency of
photocatalysts. This issue could be addressed in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) through …

Operation in the subthreshold region most often is synonymous to minimum-energy operation.
Yet, the penalty in performance is huge. In this paper, we explore how design in the …

Bacterial infection may adversely affect the hemostasis of patients with gastroesophageal
variceal bleeding (GEVB). Antibiotic prophylaxis can prevent bacterial infection in such patients…

Antifungal agents exert their activity through a variety of mechanisms, some of which are
poorly understood. We examined changes in the gene expression profile of Candida albicans …

Constitutive overexpression of the MDR1 (multidrug resistance) gene, which encodes a
multidrug efflux pump of the major facilitator superfamily, is a frequent cause of resistance to …

Nosocomial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are emerging
as a major health problem worldwide, while community-acquired K. pneumoniae infections …
