Nanomechanical measurements of cells and single molecules with atomic force microscopy (AFM) require accurate calibration of two parameters: the spring constant of the cantilever (k) and the inverse of the optical lever sensitivity (InvOLS).The most established calibration approach in liquid involves determining the InvOLS by acquiring force-distan
Introduction Polypharmacy and multimorbidity pose escalating challenges.Despite numerous attempts, interventions have yet to show consistent improvements in health outcomes.A key factor may be varied approaches to targeting patients for intervention.Objectives To explore how patients are targeted for intervention by examining the literature with re
The article draws on the insights of political ecology to illuminate the politics shaping the enforcement of environmental regulation in the mining sector of Ghana.We argue that the Ghanaian state uses strong-arm measures against artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) operators, particularly, the subaltern classes engaged in the industry for surviv
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal microorganisms play a crucial role in host survival and adaptation, but information on host-specific selection or environmental factors that shape the microbiome in natural populations is limited.In this study, we employed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to investigate the composition and predicted the functions of gut m
