Bifunctional fluorescent probes for detection of amyloid aggregates and reactive oxygen species.

abstract：:A global response function (GRF) of an elastic network is introduced as a generalization of the response function (RF) of a rigid network, relating the average flow along the network with the pressure difference at its extremes. The GRF can be used to explore the frequency behaviour of a fluid confined in a tree-like ...
