The deformability of a red blood cell (RBC) is one of the most important biological parameters affecting blood flow, both in large arteries and in the microcirculation, and hence it can be used to quantify the cell state.Despite numerous studies on the mechanical properties of RBCs, including cell rigidity, much is still unknown about the relations
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a great innovation, which makes the network programmable so that it is easier to achieve failures recovery.Through pre-programmed recovery strategies and pre-deployed backup resource, flows can be redirected to destination quickly upon failures.However, it consumes a large amount of backup resources for fast fai
Lignocellulosic (LC) biomass is abundantly available as a low-cost resource on the Earth.LC Disposable Straws conversion into energy carriers is the most accepted alternative energy production policy because it is non-competitor to food or feed.LC ethanol has brought cellulases to the forefront which was otherwise lost in oblivion during last decad
A 67-year-old woman presented with a generalised rash associated with weight loss and resting tachycardia.She had a recent diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.Biochemical evaluation revealed elevated levels of circulating glucagon and chromogranin B.Cross-sectional imaging demonstrated a pancreatic lesion and liver metastases, which were octreotide-avid
