MICROSTRUCTURE VERSUS TOPOGRAPHY: THE IMPACT OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC SUBSTRATE MODIFICATION DURING ULTRASHORT PULSED DIRECT LASER INTERFERENCE PATTERNING ON THE ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES OF CU

Microstructure versus topography: the impact of crystallographic substrate modification during ultrashort pulsed direct laser interference patterning on the antibacterial properties of Cu

Introduction: Topographic surface patterning in the micro- and nanometer scale has evolved into a well applied approach in surface functionalization following biomimetic blueprints from nature.Depending on the production process an additional impact of process-related substrate modification has to be considered in functional surface optimization.Th

Implementation of triggered kilovoltage imaging for stereotactic radiotherapy of the spine for patients with spinal fixation hardware

Background and purpose: Mitigation of intrafraction motion Roller Skates (IM) is valuable in stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) radiotherapy where submillimeter accuracy is desired.The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of triggered kilovoltage (kV) imaging for spine SRT patients with hardware by correlating kV imaging with patie

Axonal and Dendritic Morphology of Excitatory Neurons in Layer 2/3 Mouse Barrel Cortex Imaged Through Whole-Brain Two-Photon Tomography and Registered to a Digital Brain Atlas

Communication between cortical areas contributes importantly to sensory perception and cognition.On the millisecond time scale, information is signaled from one brain area to another by action potentials propagating across long-range axonal arborizations.Here, we develop and test methodology for imaging and annotating the brain-wide axonal arboriza
