Abstract The presence of cerebral evoked responses can be tested by using objectiveresponse detectors. They are statistical tests that provide a threshold above which responses can beassumed to have occurred. The detection power depends on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of theresponse and the amount of data available. However, the correlation within the background noisecould also affect the power of such detectors. (more…)

Abstract With the goal of mimicking the mechanical properties of a given nativetissue, tissue engineers seek to culture replacement tissues with compositions similar to those ofnative tissues. In this report, differences between the mechanical properties of engineered arteriesand native arteries were correlated with differences in tissue composition. Engineered arteriesfailed to match the strengths or compliances of native tissues. (more…)
