Abstract A substantial number of people refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19, which prompts the question as to why.We focus on the role of individual worldviews about the nature and generation of knowledge (epistemic beliefs).We propose Wood Christmas Tree a model that includes epistemic beliefs, their relationship to the Dark Factor of Perso
Three-dimensional cell culture methods are able to confer new predictive relevance to in vitro tumor models.In particular, the 3D multicellular tumor spheroids model is considered to better resemble tumor complexity associated with drug resistance compared to the 2D monolayer model.Recent advances in 3D printing techniques and suitable biomaterials
The paper contains synopsis of High Speed Rail (HSR) projects in Russia (inclusive of high-speed rolling stock) for the years 1974 - 2014.There are discussed basic outcomes of high-speed EMU trains Sapsan and Allegro operation between Moscow, St.Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Helsinki.A strategic study on the implementation of a 1520mm-gauge High
A range of soft robotic systems have recently been developed that use Armoire soft, flexible materials and respond to environmental stimulus.The greatest challenge in their design is the integration of the actuator, energy sources, and body of robots while achieving fast locomotion and well-defined programmable trajectories.This work presents such
