Published: October 2012

The commenters refer to the above mentioned paper by Wolpert and Micheli-Tzanakou (ibid. p.955-61, 1993), and point out the oversight of previous activity in circuit design. In their opinion the paper in question does not seem to represent a novel approach either in circuitry or computationally. In reply, the authors acknowledge their oversight of the conference papers cited by the commenters, but point out that they never suggested that a simple shunting lateral inhibitory (SLI) pair was a novel circuit, and the overall objective of their effort was simply to carry analysis of SLI to a higher dimension.

Article Synopsis
  • - Laser-based mid-IR photothermal spectroscopy (PTS) is a rapid and sensitive analytical method that utilizes advanced laser technology to capture the absorption characteristics of various materials, such as liquids or solids.
  • - This study utilizes an external cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) to analyze a thin film of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) on a silicon nitride micro-ring resonator, demonstrating its effectiveness in creating an on-chip photothermal sensor.
  • - The research highlights the optimal alignment and focusing techniques for the laser setup, showing that PTS can lead to compact, efficient sensors suitable for real-time monitoring in industrial applications.

Any graph that depicts a particular molecular structure can be given a topological graph index, also known as a molecular descriptor. This index can be used to examine numerical data and discover more about specific physical properties of molecules. Silicates are hard crystals that can be sliced into little pieces.

Importance: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignant tumor, and durable disease control is rare with the current standard of care, even for patients who undergo surgical resection.

Objective: To assess whether neoadjuvant modified 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) leads to early control of micrometastasis and improves survival.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This open-label, single-arm, phase 2 nonrandomized controlled trial for resectable PDAC was conducted at the Yale Smilow Cancer Hospital from April 3, 2014, to August 16, 2021.

COVID-19 Mitigation in a K-12 School Setting: A Case Study of Avenues: The World School in New York City.

Health Secur

June 2024

Gigi Kwik Gronvall, PhD, is a Senior Scholar, at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, Baltimore, MD, Gigi Kwik Gronvall is also an Associate Professor, in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD.

In this case study, we describe a well-resourced private school in New York City that implemented COVID-19 mitigation measures based on public health expert guidance and the lessons learned from this process. Avenues opened in New York City in 2012 and has since expanded, becoming Avenues: The World School, with campuses in São Paulo, Brazil; Shenzhen, China; the Silicon Valley, California; and online. It offers education at 16 grade levels: 2 early learning years, followed by a prekindergarten through grade 12.
