Background Sleeping mattress parameters significantly influence sleeping comfort and health, as reflected by the extensive investigations of sleeping support biomechanics to prevent Molybdenum Grease sleep-related musculoskeletal problems.Methodology Herein, we review the current trends, research methodologies, and determinants of mattress biomecha

A deformation measurement system for laboratory soil testing based on stereophotogrammetric image analysis was developed with a purpose of characterising soil behaviour continuously from small to large strains.The system is applicable to triaxial tests with pressure chamber and confining fluid by correcting the Pizza Crust refraction-induced distor

This paper is an extended version of a paper presented at the EuCAP 2009 conference [1].We present part of a long term research project that aims on designing a (re-)configurable multi-standard antenna element for 4G (4th Generation) mobile terminals based on LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) technology.The antenna itself is a coupling elemen

Fluorescence-based DNA readouts are increasingly important in biological research, owing to enhanced analytical sensitivity and multiplexing capability.In this study, we characterize an in-gel polymerase elongation process to understand the reaction kinetics and transport limitations, and we evaluate DNA sequence design to develop signal amplificat

Interpretation of managerial activity in terms of neuroscience is typically concerned with extreme behaviors such as corporate fraud or reckless investment (Wargo, Baglini & Nelson, 2010a; Peterson, 2007).This paper is concerned to map out the neurophysiological and cognitive mechanisms at work across the spectrum of managerial behaviors encountere
