Evolution and the eye: the Darwin bicentennial and the sesquicentennial of the origin of species.

30 Oct 2008 Evolution is an essential concept for anyone who considers science to be the best way to understand the natural world. It is as fully established as any scientific principle can be and is the great unifying theme in all of biology, as integral to ... Read more...

Age-specific incidence of cancer: Phases, transitions, and biological implications.

18 Oct 2008 The observation that the age-specific incidence curve of many carcinomas is approximately linear on a double logarithmic plot has led to much speculation regarding the number and nature of the critical events involved in carcinogenesis. By a ... Read more...

Design of MEMS devices with optical apertures for the detection of transparent biological cells.

29 Sep 2008 This paper provides a novel technique to detect transparent biological living cells trapped in a microfluidic MEMS device by optical diffraction. The device essentially consists of an optical aperture or an aperture array patterned in metal layer ... Read more...
