Reducing the risk of (cross-)contamination, improving the chain T-shirt of custody, providing fast analysis times and options of direct analysis at crime scenes: these requirements within forensic DNA analysis can be met upon using microfluidic devices.To become generally applied in forensics, the most important requirements for microfluidic device
Chunking is a key mechanism for sequence processing.Studies on speech sequences have suggested low-frequency cortical activity tracks spoken phrases, that is, chunks of words Primers defined by tacit linguistic knowledge.Here, we investigate whether low-frequency cortical activity reflects a general mechanism for sequence chunking and can track chu
In recent years PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have gained the interest of scientists, mainly because of their possible implications in cancer.Many kinds of research showed how their expression can be linked to malignant diseases.However, most of them evaluated the expression of piRNAs in tumor SKIN LIGHTENING tissues.It was shown how these non-cod
Total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) concentration in the Diagnostic Recording Paper soil are an indicator of soil degradation.To understand how land-use may impact these concentrations in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF), we analyzed the effect of four land-uses on TOC stocks (STK.TOC) and TN stocks (STK.TN) in a semi-arid regi
The forecast of tropical cyclone trajectories is crucial for the protection of people and property.Although forecast dynamical models can provide high-precision short-term forecasts, they are computationally demanding, and current statistical forecasting models have much room for improvement given that the database of past hurricanes is constantly
