Open Hardware: Towards a Fully-Wireless Sub-Cranial Neuro-Implant for Measuring Electrocorticography Signals

Implantable neuronal interfaces to the brain are an important keystone for future medical applications. However, entering this field of research is difficult since such an implant requires components from many different areas of technology. Since the complete avoidance of wires is important due to the risk of infections and other long-term problems, means for wireless transmitting data and energy are a necessity which adds to the requirements. In recent literature many high-tech components for such implants are presented with remarkable properties. However, these components are typically not freely available for your system. Every group needs to re-develop their own solution. This raises the question if it is possible to create a reusable design for an implant and its external base-station, such that it allows other groups to use it as a starting point. In this article we try to answer this question by presenting a design based exclusively on commercial off-the-shelf components and studying the properties of the resulting system. Following this idea, we present a fully wireless neuronal implant for simultaneously measuring electrocorticography signals at 128 locations from the surface of the brain. All design files are available as open source.
Changes in Ca2+-ATP ase activity of sardine ordinary and dark muscle myofibrils during storage at various pH values.

Sardine ordinary and dark muscle myofibrils were suspended in buffers of various pH values, stored under several conditions and examined for the remaining Ca2+ -ATPase activity. The ordinary muscle myofibrils showed the remaining activity maxima at pH 7 (specific activity of 0.07μmol Pi/min•mg) and 8.6 (0.10), when stored at 0°C for two days. When stored at 35°C for 30min, the ordinary myofibrils again showed the remaining activity maxima at pH 7 (0.06) and 8.6 (0.05). When freeze stored at -20°C for two days, the ordinary muscle myofirils displayed a single remaining activity maximum at pH 7.5 (0.08), and little activity below pH 6.5. The dark muscle myofibrils showed the remaining Ca2+ -ATPase activity maximum at pH 6.7 (0.11μmol Pi/min•mg) when stored at 35°C, at pH 6.4 (0.14) when stored at 0°C, and at pH 7.5 (0.10) when stored at -20°C. The inactivation rate of sardine myofibrillar Ca2+ -ATPase activity at 30°C was slow over pH 6.8-8.6 for ordinary and at around pH 6.8 for dark muscle. These results suggest that the remaining Ca2+ -ATPase activity of sardine muscle myofibrils are closely related with their stability.
Sequence‐Defined Peptoids with —OH and —COOH Groups As Binders to Reduce Cracks of Si Nanoparticles of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Silicone (Si) is one type of anode materials with intriguingly high theoretical capacity. However, the severe volume change associated with the repeated lithiation and delithiation processes hampers the mechanical/electrical integrity of Si anodes and hence reduces the battery's cycle‐life. To address this issue, sequence‐defined peptoids are designed and fabricated with two tailored functional groups, “OH” and “COOH”, as cross‐linkable polymeric binders for Si anodes of LIBs. Experimental results show that both the capacity and stability of such peptoids‐bound Si anodes can be significantly improved due to the decreased cracks of Si nanoparticles. Particularly, the 15‐mer peptoid binder in Si anode can result in a much higher reversible capacity (ca. 3110 mAh g−1) after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g−1 compared to other reported binders in literature. According to the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is the functional groups presented on the side chains of peptoids that facilitate the formation of Si−O binding efficiency and robustness, and then maintain the integrity of the Si anode. The sequence‐designed polymers can act as a new platform for understanding the interactions between binders and Si anode materials, and promote the realization of high‐performance batteries.
A Comprehensive View of Mitochondrial Gene Expression in Human Cells

In the past 2 years, the determination of the complete sequence of the human and bovine mtDNAs by Sanger’s group in Cambridge, England (see Anderson et al., this volume) has revealed the unique features of the genetic code and of the gene organization in the mammalian mitochondrial genome (Anderson et al. 1981). The parallel work carried out in our laboratory on the organization of the mtDNA transcripts in HeLa cells has produced a perfectly matching picture, providing at the same time important information on both the structure of the mitochondrial genes and their mode of expression (Ojala et al. 1980Ojala et al. 1981; Montoya et al. 1981). Thus, the extraordinarily compact gene organization of the mammalian mtDNA, with its continuous genes mostly butt-jointed to each other and a nearly complete absence of noncoding stretches, has been shown to have its precise counterpart in the tight arrangement of the mtDNA transcripts and in the distinctive structural features of the mitochondrial mRNAs. Moreover, the interspersion of the tRNA genes with the rRNA and protein-coding genes and their immediate juxtaposition have pointed to an additional functional role for tRNA sequences related to their positions in mtDNA, namely, as recognition signals for RNA processing (Attardi et al. 1980a; Ojala et al. 1981). The information on the structural organization of the genes and their transcripts in the human mitochondrial genome has further provided the framework for an in-depth analysis of the metabolic behavior of mtRNAs in HeLa cells (Gelfand and Attardi 1981). The correlation and integration of.
Degree tolerant number of power graph: finite Albenian group

S ince, the foundation paper titled, Degree Tolerant Coloring of Graphs is under review, sufficient results and concepts will be recalled to makes this paper digestible. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the definition and properties of finite Albenian groups over the operation addition +, (or, multiplication ×). For ease of reference we recall that, depending on the characteristics of the elements of a non-empty set X, the operations + or × can be abstract operations. Having said that, we recall that if X is a non-empty set and f is a binary operation on X i.e., f : X× X X we can denote, f ((a, b)) = a ◦ b. The ordered pair (X, f ) is a group if: (i) f is associative i.e. a ◦ (b ◦ c) = (a ◦ b) ◦ c, ∀a, b, c ∈ X. (ii) A e ∈ X exists such that, a ◦ e = a, ∀a ∈ X (called a right identity of (X, f )). (iii) A b ∈ X exists for each a ∈ X such that, a ◦ b = e (called a right inverse of a). If for all a, b ∈ X we have a ◦ b = b ◦ a then (X, f ) is an Albenian group (also called a commutative group). A good introduction is found amongst others, in [1]. In this paper we will consider only a specific finite Albenian group. It is also assumed that the reader is familiar with most of the classical concepts in graph theory. Throughout only finite, connected simple graphs will be considered. For more on general notation and concepts in graphs see [2–4]. It is also assumed that the reader is familiar with the concept of graph coloring. In a proper coloring of G all edges are said to be good i.e. ∀ uv ∈ E(G), c(u) 6= c(v). The set of colors assigned in a graph coloring is denoted by C and a subset of colors assigned to a subset of vertices X ⊆ V(G) is denoted by c(X). In an improper (or defect) coloring it is permitted that for some uv ∈ E(G), the coloring is c(u) = c(v). Recall that for a degree tolerant coloring abbreviated as, DT-coloring of a graph G the following condition is set:

Accuracy of tomographic particle image velocimetry data on a turbulent round jet

Tomographic particle image velocimetry (Tomo-PIV) was applied on a turbulent round air jet to quantitatively assess the accuracy of velocity gradients obtained in the self-similar turbulent region. The jet Reynolds number based on the nozzle diameter (d) was Red = 3000. Mean velocity, turbulent intensities, and Reynolds shear stress at the center plane of the jet were measured. In addition, statistical results of Tomo-PIV along the axial direction were assessed by performing a separate set of two-dimensional two-component PIV experiments on a “side view” plane along the jet axis. Moreover, the probability distribution functions of four components of the measured velocity gradients in the axial and radial directions were validated by these “side view” planar PIV data. The root mean square of the velocity divergence values relative to the norm of the velocity gradient tensor was 0.36. Furthermore, the onand off-diagonal components of the velocity gradients satisfied the axisymmetric isotropy conditions. The divergence error in the data affected only areas with low gradient magnitude. Therefore, turbulent structures in the regions with intense vorticity and dissipation can be closely monitored. On this basis, the joint pdfs of the invariants of the velocity gradient and strain and rotation tensor rates were produced and compared well with those in isotropic turbulence studies.
Universiteit Leiden ICT in Business and the Public Sector Pass Outcome Prediction in Football Name :

In football, the outcome of a match greatly depends on the actions of, and the interaction between, individual players taking part in the match. One of the most common interactions between teammates during a football match is the pass, during which one player sends the ball to a teammate in the hope of creating opportunities for scoring goals and avoiding the risk of opponents gaining ball possession. In this work, we will investigate which factors have the most influence on pass outcomes and we will demonstrate how this information can be transformed into valuable information for potential users. For this purpose, existing state of the art position data and event data for 6 tournament matches is used to generate a dataset of thousands of passes. Extensive feature engineering and statistical analysis will be used to build numerical descriptors of the many facets of a pass. Following this, logistic regression will be used to train models that predict pass successfulness and we will analyze the importance of the features in the models. We found that features describing the spatial relation between opponents, the pass vector and the pass receiver are the most influential for pass outcome. A probabilistic predictive model for pass outcome performs significantly better than the naive baseline model, with an accuracy of 74.4% (vs 68.1% baseline) and a precision of 88% on positive pass outcomes (vs 68% baseline). Additionally, several use cases for the probabilistic model output are evaluated, such as quantifying pass risk for the purpose of player decision making analysis and labelling passes with probabilities for the purpose of data mining pass outliers for post-match analysis. With our research, we obtained a deeper understanding of pass successfulness in football and we can provide usefull insights for practical users.
The Journal of Wildlife Management

Nearly 10 years ago, Kilgo et al. (2010) published a commentary that raised the question, “Can coyotes affect deer populations in southeastern North America? ” Since then, numerous field studies have shed light on, if not unequivocally answered, that question. Those studies, which have spanned the region in question, have been virtually unanimous in concluding that coyotes (Canis latrans) can indeed influence deer population dynamics through heavy predation pressure on neonate deer. These were all field studies, conducted at a particular location and at a particular time. In contrast, Bragina et al. (2019) assembled an 87‐year dataset from eastern states as widespread as New York and Florida, USA, to assess the question of whether coyotes can affect white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations at large spatial scales in the East. From those data, they concluded that “coyotes are not controlling deer populations at a large spatial scale in eastern North America” (Bragina et al. 2019:916). We commend Bragina et al (2019) for examining the question at a large scale. However, a combination of problems inherent in their approach and in their data led to erroneous conclusions and overly simplistic inferences. We are concerned that assertions by Bragina et al. (2019) may perpetuate misconceptions among deer managers and the public about the nature of the deer‐ coyote dynamic in the region and may therefore be potentially harmful to the resource. Here we detail our primary concerns with Bragina et al. (2019).
Demographic transition and household saving in Italy

This paper studies the relationship between population ageing and saving formation by Italian households. We use five cross-sectional budget surveys to separately construct the age and cohort profiles of the saving rate. After detrending the data, we isolate the age and cohort effects on saving. Cohort effects show that, in the current Italian population, saving behaviour is markedly different across generations. The estimates obtained on survey data are then used to derive a forecast of the medium and long run tendency of the household saving rate (2000-2050). In the absence of any changes in the saving behaviour of young cohorts, the saving rate falls by 15% at the end of the period. The recent reforms of the pension system will significantly reduce the social security wealth of future pensioners, and could induce the young to increase their saving, but the available empirical evidence leads to a scenario where the effects of the pension reform on the incentive to save and accumulate are low, and may be neutralised by the mechanism of intergenerational transfers. Even in a scenario where the young actually react to the pension reform, the reduction in total household wealth at the end of the life-cycle induced by the pension reform leads to a decrease in aggregate household saving. 1 Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche, Università di Bologna, tel. 051/2092614, mbaldini@spbo.unibo. it. 2 Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Finanziarie «G.

Importance of the Rearrangement Rates on the Organization of Genome Transcription

The organization of genomes shows striking differences among the different life forms. These differences come along with important variations in the way genomes are transcribed, operon structures being frequent in short genomes and the exception in large ones, while ncRNAs are frequent in large genomes but rare in short ones. Here, we use the digital genetics model "aevol" to explore the influence of the mutation rates on these structures, showing that their diversity can be accurately reproduced when varying the rearrangement rate. This result points us to the mutational burden hypothesis as one of the main explanation. In this view, a specific level of mutational robustness indirectly leads to genome and transcriptome streamlining.
Segmentation of Moving Object in Video Surveillance using Optical Drift

- With the abrupt increase of motor vehicles, the advanced Intelligent Traffic Monitoring System is important in today's world. Automatic video segmentation plays an important role in the ITMS. Many algorithms have been proposed on automatic video segmentation. However, due to the large computation, many of them can-not be used for the real-time applications. Segmentation of moving objects in a scene is often desired in many applications for monitoring motion. In the project, we look at traffic videos. The approach used for object-oriented video segmentation is based on motion coherence.
New Zealand Lacks Comprehensive Threatened Species Legislation: Comparison with Legislation in Australia and the USA

New Zealand lacks dedicated threatened species legislation which is hindering the effective recovery of the country? s threatened species. Few of New Zealand? s recorded threatened species receive active management. New Zealand is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot which has undergone widespread anthropogenic change in a relatively short time. Using its own threat classification system based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, but modified to suit the island characteristics of its biota, New Zealand has identified 2,788 species and subspecies within 14 taxonomic groups that are threatened with extinction. However, this level of awareness of the threatened state of New Zealand? s biota is not supported by comprehensive threatened species legislation. We reviewed New Zealand? s current legislation for the management and recovery of threatened species and made a comparison with the US Endangered Species Act 1973 (ESA1973) and the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 (EPBC1999). We argue that New Zealand needs to develop similar legislation to the ESA1973 and EPBC1999 to enable an integrated and legally accountable approach to the management and recovery of threatened species. A strength of the ESA1973 and EPBC1999 is that species that have been assessed to be threatened with extinction are listed on a central government register with a legal mandate for the production of recovery plans. A weakness of both acts is that species can languish on these lists without effective recovery actions. Although not always implemented, both acts have the provision for the protection and conservation of critical habitat.
Security Enhancements for Finger Print Templates on Minutiae

-Fingerprints are widely accepted as a reliable person identification technique through out our country. Each and every person has unique and unchangeable fingerprints. This contain immutable local features called minutiae, by extracting the minutiae helps in increasing the accuracy and accepting the right ones and rejecting the false and also helps in recovery from degraded and corrupted images due to different variations on the skin. Fingerprint images are not well defined due to their noise and corrupted features, thus initially enhancing the image is very much important than the minutiae extraction. The most crucial step is extracting the minutiae from the fingerprint image. Latent examiners use these minutiae extraction for matching of the fingerprints. Extraction of the minutiae this template is stored in to the database but unfortunately this template data get hacked. Enhancing the template security by hashing and also provides the matching between the two fingers based on minutiae correspondence. By fusion of different minutiae features helps in increase the matching accuracy rate than the entire fingerprint.
Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling of Atomic Structural Disorder

Abstract Many functional properties of different materials can be determined by an understanding of the local structure and atomic-level disorder. This insight is critical to the nuclear science community as it directly impacts the quality of materials and forensic science. Reverse Monte Carlo is a general method of structural modeling that has made it possible to generate three-dimensional structural models whose atomic configurations are consistent with experimental data. Although data and models are consistent, the specific structural model acquired from the Reverse Monte Carlo algorithm is a single non-unique solution. Therefore, multiple runs of the RMC algorithm are required to quantify the variability in model solutions and the material structures that they are meant to represent. We propose a Bayesian approach to structural modeling that provides improved estimates of the variances of all atomic coordinates without requiring multiple runs of the estimation algorithm.
Central corneal thickness in Moroccan patients with primary open- angle glaucoma

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of central corneal thickness (CCT) in glaucoma patients followed a military hospital in Rabat. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective study of glaucoma patients followed in the military hospital ophthalmology flap service between January and December 2018. All subjects underwent a complete ophthalmic examination that included measures of CCT with an ultrasonic pachymeter. Results: A total of 205 patients (123 men and 82 women) were included in this study corresponding to 410 eyes. The age of patients ranged between 19 and 79 years. The average central corneal thickness was 519.54 ± 27. 52μm in the right eye and 520.71 ± 27.99 μm in the left eye. Comparing the CCT between men and women and between the right eye and the left eye the other hand finds no statistically significant difference. Thus, the average age of the patients was 50.74 ± 12.7 years, with a mean central corneal thickness of 520.12 ± 27.75 microns. Discussion and conclusion: Compared to the Caucasian patient, our glaucoma patients differ in the early glaucoma and the thinness of the cornea, and are close to black African patients. This may induce a potential error in the measurement of intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients where our interests of Forever correlate intraocular pressure with pachymetry.
