A protocol for the detection of genetic markers in saliva by polymerase chain reaction without a nucleic acid purifi cation step: Examples of SARS-CoV-2 and GAPDH markers
(
Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University
, 2021 , Article)
Introduction. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic tests use purifi ed nucleic acids (NAs) from clinical samples. The NAs purifi cation step adds time, cost, and aff ects the quality of testing. The objective ...
Fractional-order controllers for stick-slip vibration mitigation in oil well drill-strings
(
SAGE
, 2021 , Article)
Drillstring–borehole interaction can produce severely damaging vibrations. An example is stick–slip vibration, which negatively affects drilling performance, tool integrity and completion time, and costs. Attempts to ...
