AbstractObjective and Design: The functional activity and pathophysiological effects of polymorphonuclear elastase (PMNE) in cardiac surgery patients are unknown. This in vitro study was done to...
View ArticleAnalysis of Epstein-Barr virus gene expression upon phorbol ester and...
Summary.Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has the potential to undergo latent and lytic pathways during infection. However, expression of many of the viral genes during the lytic-latent transition remains...
View ArticleControl of Electron Density and Temperature with a Modified Capacitive Discharge
AbstractWe propose a new type of capacitive plasma source with a mesh grid to solve the problems of previous low pressure discharges, the inability to control the electron density and temperature...
