It is used to measure the properties of the medium itself, such as the amount of moisture. Background: One or more passive sensors can be embedded in situ during construction (at a point or in an array) in a substrate (such as the cement around bridge supports or rail bed foundation ballast) that acts as the channel medium.

Conventionally, this is achieved through normal saline flushes and regional citrate anticoagulation, however, dialysis filters often clot requiring extra saline flushes and/or anticoagulation drugs, including, heparin. In addition, such maintenance prevents at home dialysis and disrupts the consistency of the treatment. To solve these problems, UVM researchers developed a hemodialysis filter rotor, that rotates the hemodialysis filter, via a programmable rota...Wed, 21 May 2025 10:03:35 GMTUVMI.Case@uvm.eduhttps://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0834C0820https://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0820These OLED vertical stacks are low cost, durable and applications in flexible displays, light panels and spectroscopy sensors Background: Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology brings the promise of sharper displays at lower cost. This sharpness arises from the fact that conventional LEDs leak a little light when displaying black, degrading the contrast ratio of bright-to dark. OLEDs display pure black, with no leaks, leading to an infinite contrast ratio. In addition, OLEDs offer many advantages over LEDs including lower cost, lighter weight, and flexibility.

Primary phosphines are currently imported due to these challenges and the types available ar...Wed, 21 May 2025 09:56:51 GMTUVMI.Case@uvm.eduhttps://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0790C0778https://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0778Provides real-time, reproducible pressure data and gives direct control of dilation execution to the physician. Background: Endoscopic dilation for esophagal dysphagia is currently empiric and subjective, and without objective predictive data, often results in serial dilation procedures or worse, injury.

Using multiple cell surface related neo-antigens, each with a single amino-acid change, a cocktail of polyclonal antibodies was developed to address this target heterogeneity and redirect effector immune cells to multiple cancer cell types within the tumor. Preliminary in vivo data shows intense and homogenous antibody binding with the p...Wed, 21 May 2025 09:54:20 GMTUVMI.Case@uvm.eduhttps://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0761C0759https://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0759PACAP signaling has been identified in multiple intersecting stress and pain associated pathologies Background: The healthcare and loss of productivity costs of pain and stress related disorders now exceed those of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.

PMC tumors are thought to be relatively innocuous, however a PMC has an incidence of metastases of 20-50% and currently there is no ability to clearly determine if a PMC is indolent or aggressive at diagnosis. Consequently, many patients undergo surgery and may end up overtreated, increasing morbidity, while others may be undertreated, increasing morbidly from re-operation and worse outcomes.

Dual oxidase (DUOX1) is a member of the NADPH oxidase family and is a critical mediator of innate immune response to allergens. Several thiol-reactive electrophiles have been identified that inhibit airway allergen response via DUOX1 inhibition and based on this work, selective peptide-based inhibitors have been designed to provide a novel approach to treat patients with allergic asthma or skin disorders, which will serv...Wed, 21 May 2025 09:38:40 GMTUVMI.Case@uvm.eduhttps://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0614C0595https://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0595Wed, 21 May 2025 09:37:42 GMTUVMI.Case@uvm.eduhttps://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0595C0587https://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0587Wed, 21 May 2025 09:36:58 GMTUVMI.Case@uvm.eduhttps://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0587C0586https://uvm.technologypublisher.com/techcase/C0586The randomness of the orientation of the ER fibers allows the concrete structure to handle a much more diverse array of stresses.
