In recent years the software coincidence counting system, designed for absolute activity measurement, has been developed in the Czech Metrology Institute. In this system a true coincidence count rate is calculated from the records of time and amplitude data of individual pulses and may be determined by two different methods. The first one uses a coincidence resolving time, in a manner similar to a classical coincidence measurement. The second method applies the pulse mixing method formulae, so that it does not use the resolving time and the correction for accidental coincidences. Both methods have been tested on the same data from a 4pibeta (PC)-gamma coincidence measurement of 60Co sources. The difference between the results obtained from both calculation methods applied on the data from the same measurement did not exceed 0.015%. The details of both methods and the results of their comparison are presented.

Protein synthesis is by far the most energetically costly cellular process in rapidly dividing cells. Quantifying translating ribosomes in individual cells and their average mRNA transit rate is arduous. Quantitating assembled ribosomes in individual cells requires electron microscopy and does not indicate ribosome translation status.

Background: Histotripsy is a non-invasive, non-ionizing, non-thermal focused ultrasound technique. High amplitude short acoustic pulses converge to create high negative pressures that cavitate endogenous gas into a bubble cloud leading to mechanical tissue destruction. In the United States, histotripsy is approved to treat liver tumors under diagnostic ultrasound guidance but in initial clinical cases, some areas of the liver have not been treated due to bone or gas obstructing the acoustic window for targeting.

Microbes experience dynamic conditions in natural habitats as well as in engineered environments, such as large-scale bioreactors, which exhibit increased mixing times and inhomogeneities. While single perturbations have been studied for several organisms and substrates, the impact of recurring short-term perturbations remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to repetitive gradients of four different sugars: glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose.

Aims: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (M-TEER) is known for its low complication rates. However, the optimal level and duration of post-procedural care remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the specific timeframe of post-procedural complications following M-TEER.

Square and 4-7-8 breathing are popularly promoted by psychotherapists but have little empirical support. We hypothesized that breathing at 6 breaths per minute (bpm) would improve HRV, reduce blood pressure, and improve mood more than either square or 4-7-8 breathing. We also hypothesized square and 4-7-8 breathing would increase end-tidal CO (PETCO).
