A Flexible Synthesis of 68Ga-Labeled Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX)-Targeted Molecules via CBT/1,2-Aminothiol Click Reaction
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)We herein describe a flexible synthesis of a small library of 68Ga-labeled CAIX-targeted molecules via an orthogonal 2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT)/1,2-aminothiol click reaction. Three novel CBT-functionalized chelators (1–3) ... -
A flexible tube-based triboelectric-electromagnetic sensor for knee rehabilitation assessment
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)This paper reports a novel hybridized flexible electromagnetic-triboelectric generator for vibration/deflection monitoring as it is implemented in a cantilever or clamped-clamped configuration. The proposed self-powered ... -
A flexible, scalable, and self-powered mid-infrared detector based on transparent PEDOT: PSS/graphene composite
(Elsevier, 2020-01)A flexible, self-powered and semi-transparent mid-infrared photodetector is demonstrated with graphene and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) composite on poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) ... -
Flow Cytometry-Assisted Detection of Adenosine in Serum with an Immobilized Aptamer Sensor
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-15)Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that can selectively bind to essentially any molecule of choice. Because of their high stability, low cost, ease of modification, and availability through selection, aptamers hold ... -
Flow visualization of natural convection in a tall, air-filled vertical cavity
(Elsevier, 2006-03-01)Natural convection of air in a tall vertical cavity was studied using a smoke patterns and interferometry. Experiments covered Rayleigh numbers of 4850 < Ra < 54,800 and aspect ratio A ≈ 40. Secondary cells were noted at ... -
Fluctuation correction for the critical transition of symmetric homopolymer blends
(AIP, 2017-07)Monte Carlo simulations are performed on structurally symmetric binary homopolymer blends over a wide range of invariant polymerization indexes, N. A finite-size scaling analysis reveals that certain critical exponents ... -
Fluctuation effects in blends of A+B homopolymers with AB diblock copolymer
(AIP, 2018-05)Field-theoretic simulations (FTS) are performed on ternary blends of A- and B-type homopolymers of polymerization N_h and symmetric AB diblock copolymer of polymerization N_c. Unlike previous studies, our FTS are conducted ... -
Fluid-present anatexis of Neoarchean tonalite and amphibolite in the Western Shandong Province
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Metatonalite and amphibolite from the Taishan region of the Western Shandong Province in the North China Craton record c. 2.60 Ga fluid-present partial melting via the breakdown of biotite, plagioclase and quartz to produce ... -
Fluorescent sensors using DNA-functionalized graphene oxide
(Springer, 2014-07-02)In the past few years, graphene oxide (GO) has emerged as a unique platform for developing DNA-based biosensors, given the DNA adsorption and fluorescence-quenching properties of GO. Adsorbed DNA probes can be desorbed ... -
Fluoxetine Does Not Enhance Visual Perceptual Learning and Triazolam Specifically Impairs Learning Transfer
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-19)The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine significantly enhances adult visual cortex plasticity within the rat. This effect is related to decreased gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated inhibition and identifies ... -
A Focus+Context Approach to Alleviate Cognitive Challenges of Editing and Debugging UML Models
(IEEE, 2019-09)Model-Driven Engineering has been proposed to increase the productivity of developing a software system. Despite its benefits, it has not been fully adopted in the software industry. Research has shown that modelling tools ... -
Focusing particles by induced charge electrokinetic flow in a microchannel
(Wiley, 2016-02-16)A novel method of sheathless particle focusing by induced charge electrokinetic flow in a microchannel is presented in this paper. By placing a pair of metal plates on the opposite walls of the channel and applying an ... -
Food Insecurity and Mental Health among Females in High-Income Countries
(MDPI, 2018-07-06)Food insecurity is a persistent concern in high-income countries, and has been associated with poor mental health, particularly among females. We conducted a scoping review to characterize the state of the evidence on food ... -
Food Literacy while Shopping: Motivating Informed Food Purchasing Behaviour with a Situated Gameful App
(ACM, 2020-04-25)Establishing healthy eating patterns early in life is critical and has implications for lifelong health. Situated interventions are a promising approach to improve eating patterns. How- ever, HCI research has emphasized ... -
Food security and contested agricultural trade norms
(Munk School of Global Affairs: Faculty of Law, 2015)Just as it is important to uncover the historical origins of specific norms that shape the trade regime, it is also helpful to examine how those norms are then translated into policy through contemporary rules and agreements. ... -
Food security and food sovereignty: Getting past the binary
(Sage, 2014-07-01)The terms food security and food sovereignty originally emerged as separate terms to describe different things. The former is a concept that describes a condition regarding access to adequate food, while the latter is more ... -
Food self-sufficiency: Making sense of it, and when it makes sense
(Elsevier, 2017-01)Food self-sufficiency gained increased attention in a number of countries in the wake of the 2007–08 international food crisis, as countries sought to buffer themselves from volatility on world food markets. Food ... -
Food, health, and complexity: towards a conceptual understanding to guide collaborative public health action
