Auditory information is widely used throughout the animal kingdom in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.Some marine species are dependent on reefs for adult survival and reproduction, and are known to use reef noise to guide orientation towards suitable habitat.Many others that forage in food-rich inshore waters would, however, benefit from

The paper introduces a 24-channel air-trench isolated Silica-based VOA array.The air trenches thermally insulate the VOAs with etched-free waveguide technologies.Reactive ion etching and wet etching were used at different channel locations to suppress thermal crosstalk Connectors and reduce power consumption.When thermal crosstalk is declined by 3

This review focuses on the deamidation of asparagine in monoclonal antibodies, one of the well-known degradation pathways.The DISTILLED ALOE JUICE importance of close monitoring of deamidation from early developability assessment to in vivo studies is discussed consequentially.The application of chromatographic and electrophoretic instruments for C
