Abstract: A method for removing a portion of a crystalline material (e.g., SiC) substrate includes joining a surface of the substrate to a rigid carrier (e.g., >800 ?m thick), with a subsurface laser damage region provided within the substrate at a depth relative to the surface. Adhesive material having a glass transition temperature above 25° C. may bond the substrate to the carrier. The crystalline material is fractured along the subsurface laser damage region to produce a bonded assembly including the carrier and a portion of the crystalline material. Fracturing of the crystalline material may be promoted by (i) application of a mechanical force proximate to at least one carrier edge to impart a bending moment in the carrier; (ii) cooling the carrier when the carrier has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the crystalline material; and/or (iii) applying ultrasonic energy to the crystalline material.

Abstract: Methods of modeling the in vivo efficacy of drug combinations for the treatment or prevention of viral infection are described. The described methods combine data for single drugs and drug combinations from pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and viral dynamics models under a series of estimated in vivo drug potencies to provide predictions of the in vivo effects of the drug combinations. These predictions can be used to more accurately select drugs and drug treatment regimens that can be successful in controlling viral infection in animal studies, clinical trials and in medical or veterinary interventions. Also described is a method of treating or preventing filovirus infections using combinations of orally available drugs based on predictions from the modeling methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for separating a neural crest derived cell from peripheral blood.
