Open AccessSelective gene expression profiling contributes to a better understanding of the molecular pathways underlying the histological changes observed after RHMVL
In previous studies, five vasoactive drugs were investigated for their effect on the recovery process after extended liver resection without observing relevant improvements. We hypothesized that an analysis of...

The Evolutive Adaptation of the Transcriptional Information Transmission in Escherichia Coli
Evolution is the process of adaptation of organisms to their respective environment by permanent genetic alterations. Evolutive adaptation proceeds by stochastic mutations and selection of the fittest individu...

Open AccessIn silico evaluation of geometry variations with respect to the thermal spread during coagulation of egg white using bipolar vessel sealing instruments
Bipolar vessel sealing is an efficient electrosurgical procedure for the occlusion of blood vessels particularly during minimally invasive surgery. Reliable knowledge of the thermal spread is crucial for a saf...

Open AccessSignal processing in urodynamics: towards high definition urethral pressure profilometry
Urethral pressure profilometry (UPP) is used in the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) which is a significant medical, social, and economic problem. Low spatial pressure resolution, common occurren...

Open AccessDevelopment of an arm support system to improve ergonomics in laparoscopic surgery: study design and provisional results
Laparoscopic surgery (LS) induces physical stress to the surgeon that is associated with an increased prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and injury in the shoulder–neck region. The aim of this research project...

Open AccessProperties of Boolean networks and methods for their tests
Transcriptional regulation networks are often modeled as Boolean networks. We discuss certain properties of Boolean functions (BFs), which are considered as important in such networks, namely, membership to th...

Open AccessModel-based analysis of an adaptive evolution experiment with Escherichia coli in a pyruvate limited continuous culture with glycerol
Bacterial strains that were genetically blocked in important metabolic pathways and grown under selective conditions underwent a process of adaptive evolution: certain pathways may have been deregulated and th...
