The Kapitza resistance (Rk) at the water-carbon nanotube (CNT) interface, with water on the inside of the nanotube, was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. We propose a new equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) method, also valid in the weak flow regime, to determine the Kapitza resistance in a cylindrical nanoconfinement system…[Read more]

6% and 12.2%, respectively. The overall concordance between the three methods were 75.9% for RT-LAMP and light microscopy, 75.1% for RT-LAMP and RDT, and 83.9% for light microscopy and RDT. Blood parasite densities were significantly lower in the neonates (mean 97.6, range 61-192 parasites/μL) compared to the blood donors (mean 447.8, range 63-11…[Read more]

Solid tumors are complex collections of cells surrounded by benign tissues that influence and are influenced by the tumor. These surrounding cells include vasculature, immune cells, neurons, and other cell types, and are collectively known as the tumor microenvironment. Tumors manipulate their microenvironment for the benefit of the tumor.…[Read more]

In addition, major complications, such as bowel perforation and capillary leak syndrome, need to be reduced. In the long term, PDD and PDT are likely to be successful therapeutic options for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, with several options to optimize the photosensitizer and light delivery parameters to improve safety and…[Read more]

These results are very important in promoting our understanding of the effects of molecular fractionation on the biogeochemical features, behaviors, and implications of DOM in the environment.Despite the ever-growing endangerment caused by the multidrug resistance (MDR) of bacteria, the development of effective antibacterial materials still…[Read more]
