Stem cell research evolved as a new hope and has gained tremendous interest during the last two decades in developing potential strategies for many debilitating diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are bone marrow-derived ...

Current flash memory devices are expected to face two major challenges in the near future: density and voltage scaling. The density of the memory is related to the gate length scaling which is constrained by the gate stack, ...

Phytoremediation is a promising alternative to conventional metal treatment methods; however, most phytoremediation studies separately consider the removal of each individual metal, which may not fully reflect the situation ...

Super-resolution imaging is an emerging field that has attracted attention in the recent years due to far the reaching impact in biology. All super-resolution techniques use fluorescent labels to image nanoscale biomolecular ...

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Project-Based Learning (PBL) integrates assessment methods across different aspects of learning experiences. While STEM PBL shifts the focus of attention from summative ...

Albeit the roles of growth factors (e.g. VEGF) and their receptors in angiogenesis have been emphasized extensively, the indispensable role of glycosaminoglycans, especially heparan sulfates, has been discerning recently. ...

An evolutionary perspective yields fresh insights into the nature of human friendships and the emotions associated with these relationships. This approach sheds light on how specific types of friendship would have benefitted ...

This chapter reviews the fundamentals and achievements of ultrashort pulse generation and amplification in ytterbium-doped fibers. Compact and ultrastable passively mode-locked fiber oscillators represent an ideal seed ...

The EU-Turkey CU has been a major instrument of integration of the Turkish economy into the EU and global markets, offering powerful tools to reform the Turkish economy. The experience can serve as an example to those SEMC ...

Voltage/frequency scaling andprocessor low-power modes (i.e., processor shut-down) are two important mechanisms usedfor reducing energy consumption in embedded MPSoCs. While a unified scheme that combines these two ...
