This paper studies serviceability assessment of footbridges through a non-deterministic approach. The parameters defining pedestrian-induced loading and the structural dynamic properties are characterized through possible ranges of variation. Starting from analytical expressions for the spectral moments of the structural response, the improved...

Bioluminescence detection requires single-photon sensitivity, extremely low detection limits and wide dynamic range. Such performances were traditionally assured by photomultiplier-tubes based systems. However, development of novel applications and industrialization call for the introduction of more robust, compact and scalable devices. Silicon...

Ca2+ is among the most important intracellular second messengers participating in a plethora of biological processes, and the measurement of Ca2+ fluctuations is significant in the phenomenology of the underlying processes. Aequorin-based Ca2+ probes represent an invaluable tool for reliable measurement of Ca2+ concentrations and dynamics in...

Background: The treatment of splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is challenging, due to the increased risk of bleeding and potentially life-threatening complications. Current recommendations are based on evidence from the treatment of venous thrombosis in usual sites, but small observational studies in SVT population suggest that the bleeding risk...
