Cloud-Based Phrase Mining and Analysis of User-Defined Phrase-Category Association in Biomedical Publications

We present a protocol and associated programming code as well as metadata samples to support a cloud-based automated identification of phrases-category association representing unique concepts in user selected knowledge domain in biomedical literature. The phrase-category association quantified by this protocol can facilitate in depth analysis in the selected knowledge...

Journal Bearings

Journal bearings are mechanical components that support and provide lateral stability to rotating shafts and axles. They are crucial in reducing friction, wear, and vibration in machinery such as engines, turbines, and pumps. The principle behind journal bearings is forming a thin lubricant film between the bearing surface and the rotating shaft, which minimizes direct contact and reduces frictional forces.
To better understand the concept of journal bearings, consider a rope winch with dry or...

Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis01:16

Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis

After a fibrin clot is formed, the next step is clot retraction, a vital process facilitated by platelet contractile proteins, such as actin and myosin. These proteins pull the fibrin strands closer together and condense the clot. This action reduces the size of the clot, creating a smaller, denser structure that effectively seals off the damaged vessel. Clot retraction consolidates the clot and helps with wound healing by bringing the edges of the damaged blood vessel closer together.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Retinal Surgical Specimens Using jouRNAl

We used retinal samples from retinectomy for a transcriptomic analysis of retinal detachment. We developed a procedure that allows RNA conservation between the surgical blocks and the laboratory. We standardized a protocol to purify RNA by cesium chloride ultracentrifugation to assure that the purified RNAs are suitable for microarray...

Important Public Goods

Public goods are services or resources provided primarily by the government because private companies often do not have an incentive to supply them at socially efficient levels. These goods are both non-excludable, meaning that people cannot be prevented from using them, and non-rivalrous, meaning that one person's use does not reduce their availability for others.
If private firms are unable to economically prevent multiple, non-paying consumers from consuming their goods, then some...

Public Relations I

Public Relations (PR) is a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and the public. It's about influencing, engaging, and building a relationship with key stakeholders to shape and frame the public perception of an organization.
PR can be used to protect, enhance, or build reputations through the media, social media, or self-produced communications. A good PR campaign can provide credibility and enhance the organization's...
