Transformation of energy into motion (work) is one of the basic processes of energy conversion
in nature. The processes of actuation underlying the transduction of light, thermal, or …

Tumor progression depends on sequential events, including a switch to the angiogenic
phenotype (ie initial recruitment of blood vessels). Failure of a microscopic tumor to complete …

Inffuenza (or “ffu”) leads to the hospitalization of more than 200,000 people yearly and results
in 36,000 deaths from ffu or ffu-related complications in the United States (15), striking both …

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose underground
liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino mass …

We report on a novel approach to the realization of nematic liquid-crystal (LC) phase
correctors to form spherical and cylindrical wave fronts. A LC cell with a distributed reactive …

Germline mutation in serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11, also called LKB1) results in Peutz–Jeghers
syndrome, characterized by intestinal hamartomas and increased incidence of …

Bulk ferroelectrics undergo structural phase transformations at low temperatures, giving
multi-stable (that is, multiple-minimum) degenerate states with spontaneous polarization. …

Vehicular ad hoc networks using WLAN technology have recently received considerable
attention. We present a position-based routing scheme called Connectivity-Aware Routing (…

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) using WLAN tech-nology have recently received
considerable attention. The evaluation of VANET routing protocols often involves simulators since …

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib are
effective treatments for a subset of non–small cell lung cancers. In particular, cancers with …
