The adhesion and proliferation of bacteria on abiotic surfaces pose challenges in both health care and industrial applications.Gold nanostars (GNSs) monolayers grafted on glass have demonstrated to exert antibacterial action due to their photo-thermal features.Here, these GNS layers were further functionalized using thiols monolayers, in order to i

Objective: To identify retinal abnormalities in the unaffected fellow eyes of patients with unilateral polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and neovascular aged-related macular degeneration (n-AMD).Methods: In this cross-sectional, retrospective case series, the medical records of patients with PCV and n-AMD were reviewed and the baseline patien

Abstract.Although certain risk factors can identify individuals who are most likely to develop chronic pain, few interventions to prevent chronic pain have been identified.To facilitate the identification of preventive interventions, an IMMPACT meeting was convened to discuss research design considerations for STARTER KIT 4 clinical trials investig

To address the complexity of small or unique reconstruction distances in digital holography, we propose an inverse cross-correlation-based algorithm for the digital holographic imaging of multiplanar objects with a large depth of field.In this method, a planar output mapping is closely around the objects, and it is established by calculating the im

Design Allergy Relief is an inherently fluid process, that intrinsically has to remain open to be shaped by contexts and constraints and that, once applied in its many variations, extrinsically can influence the flows of matter, life, information, and energy that make up urban space.However, to design the city means to intervene with an irrepressib
