Scavenging activities are one of the common methods for recycling in the Third world countries. In this work we will see the role of scavengers and their effect on the waste management process

Acoustic Trapping: System Design, Optimization and Applications

Manipulation, separation and trapping of particles and cells are very important tools in today's bioanalytical and medical field. The acoustic no-contact trapping method presented at earlier MSW 2004 provides a flexible platform for performing cell and particle assays in a perfusion-based microsystem. To further develop the system microfabricated glass channels are now used, resulting in shorter f

Sex and gender differences in newborn infants: why are boys at increased risk?

Newborn boys have higher morbidity and mortality than girls. Several studies have shown that male newborn sex is an independent risk factor for adverse outcome. The specific mechanisms leading to the increased risks for newborn boys are not known. However, several sex-specific reactions and physiologic responses have been described in both the fetus and newborn infants. Some of these differences p
