Current Research Focus

VPD-TXRF is also a facile technique for interface analysis [4.78, 4.79]. Automated VPD equipment (Fig. 4.16) improves both the detection limit (upper range 10 atoms cm ) and the reliability (by > 50%) of the VPD-TXRF measurement [4.14]. Current research focuses on sample holders [4.80, 4.81] and light-element detection capability [4.82-4.84]. 

Current research focuses largely on aboveground successional studies, developmental rate studies, and other factors that impact on PMI estimation. DNA-based studies are becoming more common, facilitating the use of DNA for identification of insects and increased accuracy and efficiency (Harvey et al. 2003 Wallman, Leys, and Hogendoorn 2005). Studies have also concerned the possible characterization of human DNA ingested by blowfly larvae (Carvalho et al. 2005 Wells and Sperling 2001). 

The ACE inhibitors, first introduced almost three decades ago, expanded the means of treating hypertension by providing yet another mechanism for lowering blood pressure. The pioneer drug, captopril, was followed on the market by well over a dozen other ACE inhibitors. Current research focuses on compounds that will inhibit vasopeptidases, a category of... 

While the current research focuses on dopaminergic neurons, non-dopaminergic degeneration is also an important part of Parkinson s disease pathology. It remains to be established whether it is favorable to implant a pure population of dopaminergic neurons or whether the graft should also contain a specific mix of other neuron types and glial cells to induce maximum symptomatic relief. 

The current research focus within the sensor development field seems to be concentrated on miniaturization while incorporating multiple quantitative analytical capabilities. Other high-demand characteristics are shorter response time, minimal hardware requirements, multiple analyte and media capabilities, and improved sensitivity, selectivity, and specificity (Zemel 1990). Advancements and improvements for both biological and chemical threat agent sensors will have numerous other benefits to diverse applications, such as quality and process control, biomedical analysis, medical diagnostics, fragrance analysis, environmental pollution monitoring, and control forensics. 

Friso Ross is Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Social Law in Munich. His current research focus is on Austrian, German, Swiss, and European Union Law. He has been involved in several national and international research projects on the history of the Spanish judiciary, on the social security judiciary in Europe, on competitive elements within the US, Dutch, German and Swiss hospital health care law, on occupational pension schemes in Europe, on the general principles of social security law in Europe, and on labour market activation policies in Europe and the US. His publications are mainly related to these research topics. 

It is likely, in the interim, while we await models from the molecular modeling perspective for the more difficult complex fluids, that the most success in predicting fluid mechanics results for non-Newtonian fluids will come from a hybrid approach combining some elements of both continuum mechanics and molecular modeling to produce relatively simple empirical models. There is a great deal of current research focused on all aspects of constitutive model development on numerical analysis of flow solutions based on these models and on experimental studies of many flows. There are a number of books and references available, but this is a complicated field that really requires a textbook/class of its own. At this point, it is time to return from our little sojourn into the land of complex fluids and come back to the principle subject of Newtonian fluids. 

A multitude of potential further applications opens up to nanodiamond materials in a variety of technological areas. Examples hitherto described include, among others, the preparation of field emitters for display uses. Current research focuses, for instance, on utilizing the lattice defects and the resulting fluorescence as weU as the unpaired spins. More applications are expected to emerge in the field of scratch-resistant transparent coatings. Moreover, it should be possible to realize... 

Current research focuses mainly on the cutting edge micro geometry (Denkena et al. 2011). The micro geometry describes the wedge geometry within a distance of up to 150 pm from the ideal... 

Current research focuses on the effect of low doses of solvents on the liver, with concern that low grade prolonged solvent exposure could lead to chronic injury and eventual impairment. ... 

Current research focuses on the combination of PTs with inorganic materials of high electron affinity, such as nanostructured CdSe or Ti02. Composite materials based on colloidal nanorods of CdSe and P3HT were first reported by Alivisatos to achieve a PCE of 1.7% [445]. Frechet and coworkers have synthesized an end-functionalized PT 252 bearing an aminomethyl group that can effectively disperse CdSe nanocrystals to afford intimate nanocomposites [446]. Depending on the composition of the film, solar cells based on 252 can lead to PCE of 1.6% under solar illumination.
