These strategies assist the maintenance function and enable the process of maintenance to be optimised.
In our laboratory, an implantable centrifugal blood pump (CBP) with a two degrees-of-freedom radially controlled magnetic bearing (MB) to support the impeller without contact has been developed to assist the pumping function of the weakened heart ventricle.
To develop efficient whole-cell biocatalysts with enhanced activity and a broad spectrum of substrate specificity, several factors have been considered, namely the selected strains, the chosen OP-hydrolyzing enzymes, where enzymes are localized in a cell, and which enhancer will assist the expression, function, and folding of the enzyme.
North American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L). is native to eastern North America [ 2] and Panax species have been used for thousands of years to improve the overall health of human beings, as a remedy to promote vitality, assist the body functions, improve the immune system and protect against stress.
