Abstract Background Microorganisms must respond to changes in their environment.Analysing the robustness of functions (i.e.performance stability) to such dynamic perturbations is of great interest in both laboratory and industrial settings.Recently, a quantification method capable of assessing the robustness of various functions, such as specific g
Throughout history, Jewish people have long been recognized for their achievements in the world of medical science.For example, prior to the Holocaust, many outstanding physicians in Germany were Jewish.However, even in the 1930s, refugee European Jewish Artichoke doctors faced significant barriers when they tried to escape and practice elsewhere b
Tri-stable permanent magnet actuator (TPMA) has been widely used in industry.In this study, a new TPMA integrating a permanent magnet actuator and two centralizing disc springs is proposed for valve application.By taking the linear coefficient of force/stroke characteristic, startup force, holding force and response time as the optimization objecti
Linseed (Linum usitatissimum) and its by-products are common supplements used in equine diets and are claimed to have beneficial health effects.In this study, the effect of linseed groat-based fibrous feed supplements on diet digestibility was studied.Also, possible detrimental health effects due to continuous feeding of supplemental feeds containi
Background and objective Gefitinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) that has been widely used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).It is most effective in women, as well as in patients who have never smoked, have pulmonary adenocarcinomas, or are of Asian origin.Several treatment options
