Safety and efficacy of composite collagen–silver nanoparticle hydrogels as tissue engineering scaffolds

The increasing number of multidrug resistant bacteria has revitalized interest in seeking alternative sources for controlling bacterial infection. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), are amongst the most promising candidates due to their wide microbial spectrum of action. In this work, we report on the safety and efficacy of the incorporation of collagen coated AgNPs into collagen hydrogels for tissue engineering. The resulting hybrid materials at [AgNPs] < 0.4 μM retained the mechanical properties and biocompatibility for primary human skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes of collagen hydrogels; they also displayed remarkable anti-infective properties against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa at considerably lower concentrations than silver nitrate. Further, subcutaneous implants of materials containing 0.2 μM AgNPs in mice showed a reduction in the levels of IL-6 and other inflammation markers (CCL24, sTNFR-2, and TIMP1). Finally, an analysis of silver contents in implanted mice showed that silver accumulation primarily occurred within the tissue surrounding the implant.
Measuring the business cycles similarity and convergence trends in the Central and Eastern European countries towards the Eurozone with respect to some unclear methodological aspects

ROZMAHEL, P.: Measuring the business cycles similarity and convergence trends in the Central and Eastern European countries towards the Eurozone with respect to some unclear methodological aspects. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2011, LIX, No. 2, pp. 237–250 The adoption of Euro in Slovakia since January 2009 and current world economic crises revived a debate on timing of the Euro adoption in the Czech Republic and other Central and Eastern European countries. The purpose of the article is to contribute to a discussion on the process of joining the Eurozone by the Czech Republic and other candidate countries. The paper provides an analysis of few business cycle similarity and convergence measures using diff erent indicators and detrending techniques. Measures of business cycles similarity are ordinarily used to evaluate preparedness of candidate countries to join the Eurozone. The results indicate continuing convergence of the business cycles similarity between the candidate and Eurozone member countries. The paper also sheds some light on possible infl uence of selected detrending techniques upon the resultant correlations. It gives a recommendation to interpret the results of business cycles correlation measuring in the close context with used methodology. A short note on a regional approach to analyse the GDP cycles is also included in a text. business cycles, convergence, correlation, eurozone, optimum currency areas

Diffuse Load Abatement with Biodiversity Co-Benefits: The Optimal Rotation Age and Buffer Zone Size

This article analyzes the optimal rotation age and the size of the buffer zone when society values harvest revenue, water quality and biodiversity. In a theoretical model we extend the traditional Faustmann rotation model to include the possibility of leaving an unharvested riparian buffer zone between the cut area and the watercourse in order to reduce nutrient load damages to the watercourse and increase biodiversity benefits in the buffer zone. We then analyze how the optimal rotation age and optimal size of the buffer zone are chosen simultaneously. In an empirical analysis, we use Finnish data including simulation results of nitrogen loads to find the social optimal solution with a numerical model. Biodiversity is valuated as a willingness to pay for retention trees left in the buffer zone. According to the empirical results in the social optimum it is not optimal to allocate any land to an unharvested buffer zone when we consider the reduction of the nitrogen load as the only benefit provided by the buffer zone. However, when we add the biodiversity benefits into the empirical analysis, the optimal size of the buffer zone is 4% of the area in the social optimum. Under the current damage valuation, the empirical results do not give any support to the hypothesis that prolonged rotation ages could be used to reduce the damage from the nutrient load.
Exhaustive Structure Generation for Inverse-QSPR/QSAR

Chemical structure generation based on quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR) or quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models is one of the central themes in the field of computer-aided molecular design. The objective of structure generation is to find promising molecules, which according to statistical models, are considered to have desired properties. In this paper, a new method is proposed for the exhaustive generation of chemical structures based on inverse-QSPR/QSAR. In this method, QSPR/QSAR models are constructed by multiple linear regression method, and then the conditional distribution of explanatory variables given the desired properties is estimated by inverse analysis of the models using the framework of a linear Gaussian model. Finally, chemical structures are exhaustively generated by a sophisticated algorithm that is based on a canonical construction path method. The usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a dataset of the boiling points of acyclic hydrocarbons containing up to 12 carbon atoms. The QSPR model was constructed with 600 hydrocarbons and their boiling points. Using the proposed method, chemical structures which had boiling points of 100, 150, or 200 °C were exhaustively generated.

An interactive framework for image annotation through gaming

Image indexing is one of the most difficult challenges facing the computer vision community. Addressing this issue, we designed an innovative approach to obtain an accurate label for images by taking into account the social aspects of human-based computation. The proposed approach is highly discriminative in comparison to an ordinary content-based image retrieval (CBIR) paradigm. It aims at what millions of individual gamers are enthusiastic to do, to enjoy themselves within a social competitive environment. It is achieved by setting the focus of the system on the social aspects of the gaming environment, which involves a widely distributed network of human players. Furthermore, this framework integrates a number of different algorithms that are commonly found in image processing and game theoretic approaches to obtain an accurate label. As a result, the framework is able to assign (or derive) accurate tags for images by eliminating annotations made by a less-rational (cheater) player. The performance analysis of this framework has been evaluated with a group of 10 game players. The result shows that the proposed approach is capable of obtaining a good annotation through a small number of game players.

Sustainable routes for smart photonic materials

Structural colour arises from constructive interference of light that is reflected at interfaces within periodic arrays of transparent materials. Their optical response is well understood and widely described in various biological organisms. Despite the maturity of the research field, many important questions remain completely unsolved.
In order to elucidate the design principles that underlie the development of such structures in nature, I aim to study the assembly and optical response of both natural and bio-mimetic materials made by using the same materials as nature: cellulose and chitin. Bio-mimetic using natural building blocks will also reveal if disorder, always present in natural structures, is a direct consequence of intrinsic material limitations or if it has a biological significance.
Furthermore, understanding the assembly of natural materials will also allow the production of low cost, biodegradable photonic materials.

Nuevos bloqueos capsulares ecoguiados para cirugía de cadera: una revisión narrativa

La cirugía sobre la articulación coxofemoral es muy frecuente. Mejorar el manejo del dolor ha sido y es uno de los pilares fundamentales para optimizar la recuperación funcional de los pacientes. Para ello debemos diseñar un plan anestésico-analgésico multimodal que abarque todo el periodo perioperatorio. Los bloqueos nerviosos periféricos y los bloqueos fasciales son un componente importante de las estrategias analgésicas multimodales. Los bloqueos tradicionales tienen una eficacia moderada, afectación motora prolongada y aumento de riesgo de caídas. Como alternativa, recientemente se describieron los bloqueos capsulares (bloqueo del plano del ileopsoas o «ileopsoas plane block» [IPB] y bloqueo del grupo nervioso pericapsular o «PENG block»), que pretenden evitar la afectación motora manteniendo una óptima eficacia analgésica. El objetivo de esta revisión es la descripción de los nuevos bloqueos capsulares y analizar si permiten mejorar la analgesia postoperatoria y favorecer la recuperación funcional con menos complicaciones, con base en la inervación de la cadera. Para realizarlo se ha llevado a cabo una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos de PubMed, Embase y Cochrane Library desde enero 2018 hasta junio de 2020. Surgery on the hip joint is very common. Improving pain management has been and is one of the fundamental pillars to optimize the functional recovery of patients. To do this, we must design a multimodal anesthetic-analgesic plan that covers the entire perioperative period. Peripheral nerve blocks and fascial blocks are an important component of multimodal analgesic strategies. Traditional blocks have moderate efficacy, prolonged motor impairment, and increased risk of falls. As an alternative, capsular blocks («ileopsoas plane block» or «IPB» and pericapsular nerve group block or «PENG block») have recently been described that aim to avoid motor impairment while maintaining optimal analgesic efficacy. The objective of this review is to describe the new capsular blocks and to analyze whether they allow to improve postoperative analgesia and promote functional recovery with fewer complications, based on the innervation of the hip. To do this, a bibliographic review was carried out in the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases from January 2018 to June 2020.
The internationalisation of the composite filtration system and therapy

In its structure, Križevci is one of the companies belonging to it. This type of business is a major source of entrepreneurial skills, innovation and new jobs, but results show that barriers to internationalisation are systematically higher for small businesses than larger companies and that the size of small businesses is crucial for the level of international activity. It has developed innovation that is likely to improve and significantly improve the cleaning up of indoor air, which is a global problem today. The aim of the project is to exit the international market, raise the profile and find business partners through participation at international fairs.

The selected coordination and support tools and mechanisms will be at the core of the NGI ecosystem, which will offer and online collaboration environment to facilitate exchange and promotion of know-how, technical activities to be coordinated, strategic liaisons to be established and managed, performance and progress for the overall NGI initiative to be monitored and assessed.
Clock-controlled mir-142-3p can target its activator, Bmal1

Abstract Background microRNAs (miRNAs) are shown to be involved in the regulation of circadian clock. However, it remains largely unknown whether miRNAs can regulate the core clock genes ( Clock and Bmal1 ). Results In this study, we found that mir-142-3p directly targeted the 3’UTR of human BMAL1 and mouse Bmal1 . The over-expression (in 293ET and NIH3T3 cells) and knockdown (in U87MG cells) of mir-142-3p reduced and up-regulated the Bmal1/BMAL1 mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Moreover, the expression level of mir-142-3p oscillated in serum-shocked NIH3T3 cells and the results of ChIP and luciferase reporter assays suggested that the expression of mir-142-3p was directly controlled by CLOCK/BMAL1 heterodimers in NIH3T3 cells. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that mir-142-3p can directly target the 3’UTR of Bmal1. In addition, the expression of mir-142-3p is controlled by CLOCK/BMAL1 heterodimers, suggesting a potential negative feedback loop consisting of the miRNAs and the core clock genes. These findings open new perspective for studying the molecular mechanism of circadian clock.
On the distributions of photoelectrons over the illuminated part of the moon

The existing view of the photoemission properties of lunar regolith does not provide the unambiguous treatment of the parameters and distributions of photoelectrons over the illuminated part of the Moon. This is indicated by the present calculations of the density, temperature, and distribution function of photoelectrons. It has been demonstrated that the quantum yield of lunar regolith is the main parameter determining the generation of photoelectrons near the surface of the Moon. At present, this parameter is determined with significant uncertainty. The measurement of the quantum yield of regolith directly on the surface of the Moon has been proposed as a variant of the solution of the indicated problem. Such measurements can be performed in the framework of future lunar missions.
A non-electromagnetic wavefield in affine <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" altimg="si6.gif" display="inline" overflow="scroll"><mml:mrow><mml:mo>(</mml:mo><mml:mi>N</mml:mi><mml:mo>+</mml:mo><mml:mn>1</mml:mn><mml:mo>)</mml:mo></mml:mrow></mml:math>-spacetime with covariance properties under a Lorentz-type of transformation

A non-electromagnetic wavefield is constructed that shows covariance properties under a Lorentz-type of transformation of the relevant space–time coordinates and associated field and source quantities in affine ( N + 1 ) -spacetime. The construction goes along the lines of the axiomatic physical approach that has served to construct Lorentz-covariant electromagnetic fields in ( N + 1 ) -spacetime as a generalization of their ( 3 + 1 ) -spacetime counterparts. In accordance with general concepts about wave phenomena as the carriers of information (in the field quantities) and accompanied by a transfer of energy (descriptive of the wave’s interaction with other thermodynamic systems) and a transfer of momentum (descriptive of the wave’s interaction with mechanical systems), one kind of field and source quantities is taken as a tensor of rank one (vector), the other as an omnidirectional tensor of rank two (which is equivalent to a scalar). The wavelike character of the solutions of the field equations has been ascertained by letting the relative changes in space of the intensive field quantities be counterbalanced by relative changes in time of the extensive field quantities. The existence of covariant field equations under a Lorentz-type of transformation of the special relativity type in ( N + 1 ) -spacetime leads to the conjecture that the field under consideration could correspond to some physical field in the universe that (in line with Lorentz’s view on physical cosmology) differs in properties from the electromagnetic one and, if it exists, could couple to the electromagnetic field. • A non-electromagnetic Lorentz-covariant wavefield in ( N + 1 )-spacetime is constructed. • The wavefield equations in affine ( N + 1 )-spacetime are array-structured. • The wavefield is (conjectured) candidate for the gravitational field in physical cosmology.
Probiotic in feeding of juvenile matrinxã (Brycon amazonicus): economic viability

This study aimed to analyze the economic feasibility of supplement probiotics Bacillus subtilis to Brycon amazonicus, raised in cages. The experiment was conducted at the Polo Regional Vale do Ribeira, in Pariquera-acu municipality, Sao Paulo State, Brazil, from February to July 2009. A total of 960 juvenile matrinxa were stocked in twelve 2.7 m³-net cages (1.5 x 1.5 x 1.2 m), in ponds with a total area of 600 m 2 and an average depth of 1.50 m. The tests were conducted with a control treatment (T1) and two probiotic doses (T2 = 5 g and T3 = 10 g kg -1 of diet) with four replicates. Results showed that T2 produced better economic performance for matrinxa at the juvenile stage in intensive rearing system.
Creating Self-Regulated Learners: Strategies to Strengthen Students’ Self-Awareness and Learning Skills

Most of our students neither know how learning works nor what they have to do to ensure it, to the detriment both of their studies and their development as lifelong learners. The point of departure for this book is the literature on self-regulated learning that tells us that deep, lasting, independent learning requires learners to bring into play a range of cognitive skills, affective attitudes, and even physical activities - about which most students are wholly unaware; and that self-regulation, which has little to do with measured intelligence, can be developed by just about anyone and is a fundamental prerequisite of academic success. Linda Nilson provides the theoretical background to student self-regulation, the evidence that it enhances achievement, and the strategies to help students develop it. She presents an array of tested activities and assignments through which students can progressively reflect on, monitor and improve their learning skills; describes how they can be integrated with different course components and on various schedules; and elucidates how to intentionally and seamlessly incorporate them into course design to effectively meet disciplinary and student development objectives. Recognising that most faculty are unfamiliar with these strategies, she also recommends how to prepare for introducing them into the classroom and adding more as instructors become more confident using them. The book concludes with descriptions of courses from different fields to offer models and ideas for implementation. At a time of so much concern about what our students are learning in college and how well prepared they are for the challenges of tomorrow's economy and society, self-regulated learning provides a reassuring solution, particularly as studies indicate that struggling students benefit the most from practicing it.
