Jul 24, 2018
INTRODUCTION: Sedentary time and time spent in various intensity-specific physical activity are co-dependent, and increasing time spent in one behaviour requires decreased time in another. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study...
Simultaneous two-phase flame velocity measurement using laser-induced incandescence particle image velocimetry (LII-PIV)
In a previous study we demonstrated a novel two-phase PIV technique based on
the laser-induced incandescence (LII) signal from black submicron tungsten carbide
particles (WC), which achieved velocity measurement for both...

Germ cell specification and pluripotency in mammals
Germ cells are unique cell types that generate a totipotent zygote upon fertilization, giving rise to the next generation in mammals and many other multicellular organisms. How germ cells acquire this ability has been of...
