Nature Materials 15, 1047 (2016). doi:10.1038/nmat4769 Commercialization of exciton–polariton research as well as investigation of exciting physical phenomena in exciton–polariton condensates relies on improving material properties. more

Elevated Cytosolic Cl− Concentrations in Dendritic Knobs of Mouse Vomeronasal Sensory Neurons

In rodents, the vomeronasal system controls social and sexual behavior. However, several mechanistic aspects of sensory signaling in the vomeronasal organ remain unclear. Here, we investigate the biophysical basis of a recently proposed vomeronasal signal transduction component—a Ca2+-activ ... more

Perceived Odor–Taste Congruence Influences Intensity and Pleasantness Differently

The role of congruence in cross-modal interactions has received little attention. In most experiments involving cross-modal pairs, congruence is conceived of as a binary process according to which cross-modal pairs are categorized as perceptually and/or semantically matching or mismatching. ... more

Relationship of Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) Taster Status to Olfactory and Gustatory Function in Patients with Chemosensory Disturbances

Poor sensitivity to the bitter taste of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and related substances has been associated with a number of diseases. We determined, in patients with chemosensory dysfunction from multiple etiologies, whether PTC "tasters" (n = 511) exhibit less smell and taste dysfunction ... more

Electrochemical DNA-Biosensors based on long-range electron transfer: Investigating the efficiency of fluidic channel microelectrode compared to ultramicroelectrode in a two-el ...

Here we transposed an ultramicroelectrode (UME) setup into a microfluidic chip configuration for DNA biosensors. Hydrodynamics properties of the fluidic channel microelectrode were screened with [Fe(III)(CN)6]3-/[Fe(II)(CN)6]4- redox couple in cyclic voltammetry to provide a basis for furth ... more

Comparison of the specificity and affinity of surface immobilised Affimer binders using the quartz crystal microbalance

To enable multiplexed protein analysis through the use of microarrays, reliable molecules capable of specifically binding to a protein of interest with high affinity are required. Further, this specificity and affinity must be retained upon immobilization to the microarray surface. This stu ... more

Scanning-SAXS of microfluidic flows: nanostructural mapping of soft matter

The determination of in situ structural information of soft matter under flow is challenging, as it depends on many factors, such as temperature, concentration, confinement, channel geometry, and type of imposed flow. Here, we combine microfluidics and scanning small-angle X-ray scattering ... more

Coated and uncoated cellophane as materials for microplates and open-channel microfluidics devices

This communication describes the use of uncoated cellophane (regenerated cellulose films) for the fabrication of microplates, and the use of coated cellophane for the fabrication of open-channel microfluidic devices. The microplates based on uncoated cellophane are particularly interesting ... more

Dynamics of bacterial streamers induced clogging in microfluidic devices

Using a microfabricated porous media mimic platform, we investigated the clogging dynamics of bacterial biomass that accumulated in the device due to the formation of bacterial streamers. Particularly, we found the existence of a distinct clogging front which advanced via pronounced ‘stick- ... more

Olfactory Performance Can Be Influenced by the Presentation Order, Background Noise, and Positive Concurrent Feedback

Sniffin’ Sticks have become a popular procedure to measure overall olfactory functionality with 3 subtest: phenyl ethyl alcohol threshold test (T), discrimination (D), and identification (I). However, several procedural components specified by the original paper have not been tested nor has ... more

Run‐to‐run optimization of batch processes with self‐optimizing control strategy

Abstract This paper deals with the run‐to‐run optimization problem of a batch process in the presence of uncertainty with a tailored self‐optimizing control (SOC) strategy. Firstly, the dynamic programming problem for the batch process is transformed into a static nonlinear programming ... more

A sharp‐interface elliptic numerical model of laminar two‐phase gas‐liquid downward flow in a vertical parallel plate channel

Abstract A sharp‐interface two‐phase numerical analysis is performed for co‐current downward laminar flow of a liquid film and a gas. A complete two‐phase model based on the two‐dimensional elliptic governing equations is presented. The numerical model implements a dynamically moving no ... more

Degradation of residual dyes in textile wastewater by ozone: Comparison between mixed and bubble column reactors

ABSTRACT A noticeable amount of dyes may remain in the wastewater downstream of dyeing facilities giving anaesthetic colorations as well as environmental concern. Conventional biological treatment alone cannot guarantee a sufficient decolouration and tertiary treatments have to be neces ... more

Removal of lead (II) and cadmium (II) cations from water using surface‐modified graphene

Abstract With its unique structure, graphene exhibits a number of outstanding mechanical, optical, and electronic properties, thus promising several potential applications. In the current work, graphene sheets were prepared from graphite and surface‐modified via an acid treatment. The s ... more

Effect of heating process on the wettability of fine coals of various ranks

Abstract Spontaneous coal combustion can produce a condition of heating process because the atmosphere of coal underground is usually poor in oxygen. Even though the spontaneous combustion of coal is prevented by people, the surface properties of coal are greatly changed. The changes in ... more

Impacts of Coal Ash on Methylmercury Production and the Methylating Microbial Community in Anaerobic Sediment Slurries

Mercury (Hg) associated with coal ash is an environmental concern, particularly if the release of coal ash to the environment is associated with the conversion of Hg to methyl mercury (MeHg), a bioaccumulative form of Hg that is produced by anaerobic microorganisms. In this study, sediment ... more
