since the adhesion is held together only by weak Van der waals bonds.""We have solved now this problem by managing to create strong covalent bonds between the graphene film and the surface,
The stronger bonds result from so-called functionalisation of the graphene, i e. the addition of a property-altering molecule.
it creates so-called silane bonds between the graphene and the electronic component (see picture). Moreover, functionalisation using silane coupling doubles the thermal conductivity of the graphene.
this process can also reveal the nature of the bonds connecting the atoms that make up the molecule.
the bonds between atoms are stretched or compressed to accommodate the bending, but in nanoscale materials there is time for the atoms to also move,

Key to the success are the supramolecular bonds within the soft polymer matrix. The scientists chose a ureidopyrimidinone (Upy) entity as the bonding motif that,
"In contrast to covalent bonds, supramolecular bonds can first provide resistance against deformation (stiffness boost), but at substantial stress levels, the bonds can open up

But curvature in graphene compresses the electron clouds of the bonds on the concave side and stretches them on the convex side,

This histone replacement, known as turnover, enables our genetic machinery to adapt to our environment by prompting gene expression,
although some cell types, such as skin cells, constantly self-destruct and are replaced in an ongoing turnover that keeps tissues viable, others,
The research team found that histone turnover regulates how genes in the brain are turned on and off in response to various stimuli,
To study histone composition in mouse nerve cells and related turnover, researchers fed young, post-weaning rodents a special diet containing heavy labeled lysines,
The prevalence of the labeled H3. 3 demonstrated the fact that the older histones had been replaced with newer ones, indicating histone turnover.
In humans, researchers used a technique called 14c/12c bomb pulse dating to measure turnover.
As with the rodent observations, the researchers found that H3. 3 turnover occurs in the human brain throughout life.

#Rate of investment in medical research has declined in U s. increased globally From 2004 to 2012,
the rate of investment in medical research in the U s. declined, while there has been an increase in research investment globally, particularly in Asia, according to a study in the January 13 issue of JAMA.
For the last century medical research including public health advances has been the primary source of and an essential contributor to improvement in the health and longevity of individuals and populations in developed countries.
and has generated more than half the world's funding for many decades. Few previous analyses have compared medical research in the United states with other developed countries according to background information in the article.
Reduced science investment The largest increase in biomedical and health services research funding in the U s. occurred between 1994 and 2004
when funding grew at 6 percent per year. However from 2004 to 2012 the rate of investment growth declined to 0. 8 percent annually
and (in real terms) decreased in 3 of the last 5 years reaching $117 billion (4. 5 percent) of total health care expenditures.
From 1994 to 2004 the medical device biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries had annual growth rates greater than 6 percent per year with biotechnology demonstrating the largest increases.
The share of U s. medical research funding from industry accounted for 46 percent in 1994
Cancer and HIV/AIDS were funded well above the predicted levels based on U s. disability alone with cancer accounting for 16 percent of total NIH funding and 25 percent of all
in comparison with total medical research funding. Private insurers ranked last (0. 04 percent of revenue) and health systems 19th (0. 1 percent of revenue) among 22 industries in their investment in innovation.
An increment of $8 billion to $15 billion yearly would occur if service firms were to reach median research and development funding.
