Public authorities at different levels of governance are increasing the opportunities for citizens to deliberate on issues of public policy.With this practice comes a plethora of academic evaluations, influenced particularly by theories of deliberative democracy.However, the perspectives of one significant group of actors have generally been overlo
Methods and Analysis of Biological Contaminants in the Biomanufacturing Industry
The advent of bioprocessing has revolutionized the biomanufacturing industry, leading to the rise of biotherapeutics derived from biologic products such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells used for targeted cancer treatment and the Vero cell line for the production of viral vectors and vaccines.Despite these promising developments, most biol
Frequency Limits of Sequential Readout for Sensing AC Magnetic Fields Using Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond
The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have the ability to sense alternating-current (AC) magnetic fields with high spatial resolution.However, the frequency Outerwear Kids range of AC sensing protocols based on dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences has not been thoroughly explored experimentally.In this work, we aimed to determine the sensitiv
Pilot Measurement of Illuminance in the Context of Light Pollution Performed with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
This article presents the methodology and results of pilot field illuminance measurements using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).The main goal of the study was to quantify the luminous flux emitted in the upper hemisphere (toward the sky) based on obtained measurement data.The luminous flux emitted toward the sky is the source of undesirable light
Bilateral Phacoemulsification in an African Elephant (Loxodonta africana)
A 37-year-old bull African elephant (Loxodonta africana) at the North Carolina Zoo (NCZ) was diagnosed with bilateral cataracts leading to behavioral changes and significant weight loss secondary to functional blindness.On initial examination, a weight loss Facial Cleanser of 234 kg, a mature cataract in the right eye, and a focal cataract in the l
