We age because the cells in our bodies begin to malfunction over the years. This is the general view that scientists hold of the ageing process. For example,…
The propensity to take risks in an everyday context decreases with age in most countries, including Germany, Russia, and the US. In these countries, men on…

The invention describes a mechanism, in which the ultrasonic impulse is time encoded, by adding a time signal to the main pulse. By alternating between time encoded and normal impulses, it is possible to determinate which of the received signals was send at an even or an uneven cycle. Faulty echo detection is prevented by this method, along with the possibility to double the sending frequency, which leads to twice the penetration depth. Furthermore it is possible to encode the ultrasonic impulse further by using amplitude modulation. With this mechanism, the received signal is spited into a measurement and a encoded signal. By doing so, it is possible to allocate time and volume information to the received signal. Because of this allocation, the occurrence of artifacts is further reduced, which leads to a higher quality of ultrasonic scans.

So far fluorescent stains have been used to assign cells to their cell cycle phase. These chemicals damage the cells and may distort the results. Scientists of…
