Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) materials hold promise for future electronics because of their unique band structures that result in electronic and mechanical properties sensitive to crystal strains in all three dimensions. Quantifying crystal strain is a prerequisite to correlating it with the performance of the device and calls for high resolution but spatially resolved rapid characterization methods. Here, we show that using fly-scan nano X-ray diffraction, we can accomplish a tensile strain sensitivity below 0.

A simple two-chamber microbial fuel cell was established with simulated molasses wastewater as substrate at the anode and simulated electroplating wastewater as an electron acceptor at the cathode. The results from a batch of experiments showed that the highest voltage output of 417.

Methods: MTT analysis was made to examine the inhibition rate of MKN45 cells treated with AZT (2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg/L) and FA-2-b-beta (5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/L) singly and combinatively for 24, 48 and 72 h.
Objective: To find out the mechanisms of redifferentiation and reversion of malignant human gastric cancer cells induced by ascorbic acid.
Methods: Human gastric cancer cells grown in the laboratory were used. The Trypan blue dye exclusion method was used to determine the cell doubling time.

Changes in number and distribution of retinal ganglion cells were studied after optic nerve crush in zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) with retinal wholemount. There were approximately 40,000 to 56,000 cells in the retinal ganglion cell layer. The density of ganglion cells was divided into six classes and the area of highest cell density (central area) was located at the temporal area to the optic disc in normal fish.

The primary effect of GP7 is the anticancer activity on transplanted mouse tumors and cultured tumor cells. However, its molecular mechanism of action is still obscure.
