We exploited this sensitivity to perform tissue Doppler-imaging-based heart wall velocimetry (Fig. 3), in analogy with clinical, ultrasound-based tissue Doppler imaging of human heart wall velocities (Ho and Solomon, 2006; Marcucci et al., 2008).
In order to exploit this enhanced sensitivity for acoustic biosensing, we have designed a flow cell for HFF quartz resonators and introduced a gentle functionalization method for the small and fragile sensor surface.
Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is a statistical technique that can exploit this information to reasonably infer sensitivities and specificities, and is applied here to evaluate the performance of various orthology detection methods on a eukaryotic dataset.
Cancer treatment paradigms are evolving to exploit the sensitivity of tumors to inhibitors that target the products of genes carrying driver mutations [ 1].
Based on these previous findings, the goal of the present study was to exploit the sensitivity of parents in assessing the proficiency with which CI and NH siblings perceived nuance in speech.
The mass spectrometry LTQ-FT acquisition of 7 plasma samples was designed to exploit the sensitivity and speed advantages of the ion trap, while taking advantage of the ultra-high mass accuracy and dynamic range of the Fourier Transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) detector.
Several studies have shown that the response to treatment for women with a BRCA1-associated breast cancer reflects the underlying tumor biology, in particular, the impairment of the DNA damage response and repair pathways, and that it is possible to exploit the sensitivity of BRCA1-associated cancers to DNA damage [ 8, 9].
To this aim, we exploited the sensitivity of HeLa cells to PTP opening and to the ensuing apoptosis following hexokinase II (HKII) detachment from mitochondria with the drug clotrimazole (CTM) or with a HKII-displacing peptide (TAT-HK; [27]).
Efforts have been made to exploit these sensitivities in the development of new sensor technologies.
