Many 3D scaffold systems have evolved for tissue engineering, drug screening and in vitro tissue models. However, it is not clear which scaffolds provide a 3D
We present a rapid prototyping technique that expands elastomeric valving capabilities to devices made from thin materials such as plastic films and tapes. A
The wildlandurban interface (WUI) is defined in terms of housing density and proximity to wildlands, yet its relevance seems to be only in conjunction with
The color error of images taken by digital cameras is evaluated with respect to its sensitivity to the image capture conditions. A parametric study was
Owing to the development of new ion source technology, users of focused ion beams (FIBs) have an increasingly wide array of uniquely capable platforms to choose
