This paper presents fabrication and packaging of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) using anodically bondable low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC).Anodic bonding of LTCC with Au vias-silicon on insulator (SOI) has been used to fabricate CMUTs with different membrane radii, 24 µm, 25 µm, 36 µm, 40 µm and 6
Haminoea japonica is a species of opisthobranch sea slug VALERIAN native to Japan and Korea.Non-native populations have spread unnoticed for decades due to difficulties in the taxonomy of Haminoea species.Haminoea japonica is associated with a schistosome parasite in San Francisco Bay, thus further spread could have consequence to human health and
Abstract Understanding the distribution of shear wave velocity (V S ) in hydrocarbon reservoirs is a crucial concern in reservoir geophysics.This geophysical parameter is utilized for reservoir characterization, calculating elastic properties, assessing fractures, and evaluating reservoir quality.Unfortunately, not all wells have available V S data
The coronavirus disease Chromium Picolinate 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has greatly impacted graduate medical education for cardiovascular fellows in training.During the initial case surge in the US in early 2020, most training programs reformatted didactic curricula, redeployed fellows in training to non-cardiac services or furloughed fellows in trai
The impaired function of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) impedes restoration of periodontal tissues.The cGAS-cGAMP-STING pathway is an innate immune pathway that sensing cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), Bama Tank but its role in regulating the function of PDLSCs is still unclear.In this study, we found that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
