Tissue engineering (TE) has attracted the widespread attention of the research community as a method of producing patient-specific tissue constructs for the repair and replacement of injured tissues.To date, different types of scaffold materials have been developed for various tissues and organs.The choice of scaffold material should take into cons
The recent identification of copy-number variation in the human genome has opened up new avenues for the discovery of positional candidate genes underlying complex genetic disorders, especially in the field of psychiatric disease.One major challenge that remains Desk Organizers is pinpointing the susceptibility genes in the multitude of disease-ass
Published PCR primers targeting the ammonia monooxygenase gene (amoA) were applied to samples from activated sludge systems operated with low dissolved oxygen (DO) to quantify total and clade-level Nitrospira that perform complete ammonium oxidation (comammox); however, we found these existing primers resulted in significant artifact-associated non
ABSTRACTThe gathering momentum of globalization in the world economy has coincided with the spread of political democracy across countries.Economies have become global.But politics remains national.This essay explores the relationship between globalization and democracy, which is neither linear nor characterized by structural rigidities.It seeks to
