Open AccessImpact of prolonged storage time on homograft ultrastructures: an attempt to find optimal guidelines for homograft processing
According to guidelines, total ischemic time for homografts at processing must be kept short to avoid degeneration. Many homografts are discarded due to practical inability to finish all steps from procurement...

Open AccessImpact of storage time prior to cryopreservation on mechanical properties of aortic homografts
Optimal time spans in homograft procurement are still debatable among tissue banks and needs to be further investigated. Cell viability decreases at longer preparation intervals, but the effect on collagen and...

Open AccessPetermann ice shelf may not recover after a future breakup
Floating ice shelves buttress inland ice and curtail grounded-ice discharge. Climate warming causes melting and ultimately breakup of ice shelves, which could escalate ocean-bound ice discharge and thereby sea...

Study on the asymptotic behavior of the interplay of stimulated Brillouin scattering and Brillouin-enhanced four-wave mixing in standard single-mode fibers
We theoretically study stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a standard single-mode fiber (SMF), taking Brillouin-enhanced four-wave-mixing (BEFWM) effects into account. In particular, we investigate the ca...
