The acquisition of elemental and chemical distribution images on the surface of cultural heritage objects has provided us new insights into our past.The techniques commonly employed, such as macroscopic X-ray fluorescence imaging (MA-XRF), in general require pointwise or whisk-broom scanning of an object under constant measurement geometry for opti
Bone marrow was recently proposed as an alternative and potentially immune-privileged site for pancreatic islet transplantation.The aim of the present study was to assess the survival and rejection mechanisms of free and encapsulated xenogeneic islets transplanted into the medullary cavity of the femur, or under the kidney capsule of streptozotocin
In component-based development, approaches for property verification exist that avoid building the global system behavior of the component model.Typically, these approaches rely Fat Separators on the analysis of the local behavior of fixed sized subsystems of components.In our approach, we want to avoid not only the analysis of the global behavior
