Introduction: Exosomes are extracellular vesicles 80-150 nm in diameter, containing proteins, mRNAs, microRNAs, and lipids reflecting the parent cell. While there has been an extensive characterization of the cargo incorporated in exosomes, a detailed morphological analysis of exosomes purified by various isolation techniques has not been performed. ...

Testing video taken using a fluorescence microscope at 10x magnification of 1:10 PDMS demonstrating which pixels are selected as belonging to edges to be tracked in yellow. Only every other pixel was checked for the appropriate color to reduce processing time

Edge tracking output from testing video taken using a fluorescence microscope at 10x magnification of 1:15 PDMS. Yellow lines indicate tracking paths

At the primary care setting, where there are often no or minimal laboratories, examinations often consist of self-testing and rapid diagnostics. Because of this, medical devices must be simple, robust, and easy to operate. To address these concerns, an alternate fluorescence microscope design uses ultraviolet (UV) excitation, since fluorescent dyes ...

To evaluate the organic contaminants removal performance of hollow cylindrical block-shaped porous activated carbon media, COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software with Chemical Engineering module was used. The study clearly demonstrates how each organic compound in a steady-state fluid is dynamically transported in the three-dimensional porous media ...

Networked systems make the reliability assessment of critical infrastructure computationally challenging given the combinatorial nature of system-level states. Several methods from numerical schemes to analytical approaches, such as Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and recursive decomposition algorithms (RDA), respectively, have been applied to this ...
