Electrical energy production by wind energy has assumedmore and more relevance in the last years. This paper presentsthe design of a ducted horizontal axis wind turbine, in order toenhance the performance. The study compares the energyproduction of a ducted turbine to a traditional free turbine,highlighting the different features. In the first...

Paraffin embedding of small, thin tissue samples requires specific expertise for optimal orientation before tissue sectioning. This study evaluates the real-life utility of the agar pre-embedding technique for small skin biopsies with regards to lengthening of work times, problems in orientation (re-embedding) and ancillary techniques...

Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare tumor of the eye that leads to deadly metastases in about half of the patients. ADAM10 correlates with c-Met expression in UM and high levels of both molecules are related to the development of metastases. MiR122 and miR144 modulate ADAM10 and c-Met expression in different settings. We hypothesized a potential...
