Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid in Whole Blood Are Differentially and Sex-Specifically Associated with Cardiometabolic Risk Markers in 8-11-Year-Old Danish Children
(Public Library of Science, 2014-10-15)n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids improve cardiovascular risk markers in adults. These effects may differ between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), but we lack evidence ... -
Elastic moduli of multiblock copolymers in the lamellar phase
(AIP Publishing, 2004-02-22)We study the linear elastic response of multiblock copolymer melts in the lamellar phase, where the molecules are composed of tethered symmetric AB diblock copolymers. We use a self-consistent field theory method, and ... -
Elastography for Portable Ultrasound
(Springer Verlag, 2017-10-27)Portable wireless ultrasound has been emerging as a new ultrasound device due to its unique advantages including small size, lightweight, wireless connectivity and affordability. Modern portable ultrasound devices can offer ... -
ElastoMonolith: A monolithic optimization-based liquid solver for contact-aware elastic-solid coupling
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-12)Simultaneous coupling of diverse physical systems poses significant computational challenges in terms of speed, quality, and stability. Rather than treating all components with a single discretization methodology (e.g., ... -
Electric-field-dependent variable-range hopping conductance in quasi-two-dimensional systems: Application to PrBa2Cu3O7-y-based superconductor–normal-metal–superconductor junctions
(American Physical Society, 1996-03)We have calculated the hopping conductivity of quasi-two-dimensional systems by using the variable-range hopping conduction mechanism in the presence of an electric field. We considered that the localized states are randomly ... -
Electric-field-dependent variable-range hopping conduction in PrBa2Cu307-y
(Taylor & Francis, 1997-02)The variable-range hopping conductivities of quasi-two-dimensional systems in electric fields were calculated for the cases of both constant and energy-dependent densities of states. The localized states were considered ... -
Electrodeposition and electrodissolution of zinc in mixed methanesulfonate-based electrolytes
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Zinc electrodeposition and electrodissolution in methanesulfonic acid (MSA) electrolytes mixed with chloride or sulfate are investigated in a 3-electrode cell for eventual use in divided and undivided zinc-cerium redox ... -
Electrokinetic motion of single nanoparticles in single PDMS nanochannels
(Springer, 2017-01)Electrokinetic motion of single nanoparticles in single nanochannels was studied systematically by image tracking method. A novel method to fabricate PDMS-glass micro/nanochannel chips with single nanochannels was presented. ... -
Electroosmotic flow in single PDMS nanochannels
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-05-23)The electroosmotic flow (EOF) velocity in single PDMS nanochannels with dimensions as small as 20 nm is investigated systematically by the current slope method in this paper. A novel method for the fabrication of single ... -
Electroosmotic flow velocity in DNA modified nanochannels
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is systematically investigated in DNA grafted hard PDMS (h-PDMS) channels with size ranging from 50 nm to 2.5 μm by using the current-slope method. The effects of the DNA types, the incubation ... -
