Circulating breast tumor cells exhibit dynamic changes in epithelial and mesenchymal composition
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of adherent epithelial cells to a migratory mesenchymal
state has been implicated in tumor metastasis in preclinical models. To investigate its …

Circulating tumor cells: approaches to isolation and characterization
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) shed from primary and metastatic cancers are admixed with
blood components and are thus rare, making their isolation and characterization a major …

Tensile loading of ropes of single wall carbon nanotubes and their mechanical properties
The mechanical response of 15 single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) ropes under tensile
load was measured. For 8 of these ropes strain data were obtained and they broke at strain …

Accurate and efficient algorithm for Bader charge integration
M Yu, DR Trinkle - The Journal of chemical physics, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
We propose an efficient, accurate method to integrate the basins of attraction of a smooth
function defined on a general discrete grid and apply it to the Bader charge partitioning for the …
