Microcurrent Stimulation Triggers MAPK Signaling and TGF-β1 Release in Fibroblast and Osteoblast-Like Cell Lines

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Wound healing constitutes an essential process for all organisms and involves a sequence of three phases. The disruption or elongation of any of these phases can lead to a chronic or non-healing wound. Electrical stimulation accelerates wound healing by mimicking the current that is generated in the skin after any injury. Here, we sought to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in the healing process following in vitro microcurrent stimulation—a type of electrotherapy. Our results concluded that microcurrents promote cell proliferation and migration in an ERK 1/2- or p38-dependent way. Furthermore, microcurrents induce the secretion of transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF-β1) in fibroblasts and osteoblast-like cells. Interestingly, transcriptomic analysis uncovered that microcurrents enhance the transcriptional activation of genes implicated in Hedgehog, TGF-β1 and MAPK signaling pathways. Overall, our results demonstrate that microcurrents may enhance wound closure through a combination of signal transductions, via MAPK’s phosphorylation, and the transcriptional activation of specific genes involved in the healing process. These mechanisms should be further examined in vivo, in order to verify the beneficial effects of microcurrents in wound or fracture healing.
REMOVAL OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARTIFACTS AND IMPULSE NOISE IN GRAY SCALE IMAGES

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

An adaptive based artifacts removal algorithm is proposed for removal of blocking artifacts, strip lines, drop lines, blotches and impulses in images. The algorithm detects noise variance level and then proper method is selected depending upon the variance. The algorithm changes the maximum size of window during the filtering operation depending on noise level. The output of the filter is a particular value which replaces the current pixel value at that point on which the value is centered at that time. Thus window size is automatically modified based on the density of noise in the image. It replaces a number of independent algorithms required for removal of blocking and other different artifacts and gives better result. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Correlation, Feature Similarity (FSIM), Mean Structural Similarity (MSSIM) and Visual signal-to-noise ratio (VSNR). The computation time is compared with other algorithms that already exist.
DOI 10.1007/s00181-011-0450-7 Does education promote social capital? Evidence from IV analysis and nonparametric-bound analysis

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

© The Author(s) 2011. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This study uses the British National Child Development Study to examine the effect of educational attainment on social capital at the individual level. Social trust and membership of voluntary groups are considered as two basic indicators of social capital. We employ the IV analysis and nonparametric bound analysis to tackle the problem of education endogeneity. Both the approaches reveal that the OLS estimator of the educational effect suffers from an upward bias in the study of group member-ship. We do not observe any significant bias in the educational effect on social trust. Our empirical findings indicate that education has a positive influence in promoting social trust and membership of voluntary groups.
Focusing on Some (Hard) Real-Time Scheduling Algorithms

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

this paper we will consider a general classification based on the specification of the assumptions made for each algorithm. The characteristics considered are shown in figure 1. In particular, we will consider static a scheduling algorithm that generates the schedule in advance before the system is run or that at least has its parameters fixed in advance, so that it will have a behaviour known a priori (e.g. it uses fixed priorities). In all other cases we will have a dynamic algorithm. - 2 - Static Real-Time Scheduling Dynamic Preemptive Non-Preemptive Shared Resources No Shared Resources Precedence Constraints No Precedence Constraints Uniprocessor Multiprocessor Distributed Figure 1: Scheduling classification. When preemption is considered, the scheduling algorithm can suspend the executing task at any time and resume the execution later, running in the meanwhile other tasks. Viceversa, in a nonpreemptive system each task, once it has obtained the processor, runs to completion without any suspension. As recalled previously, the tasks timing constraints in real-time systems are usually modelled as deadlines. That is, if a task T has a deadline d, it has to be completed before or at time d. Unless otherwise stated, for periodic tasks each instance can start the execution at the beginning of each period and the end of that period will be its deadline. Instead, for a sporadic task, whenever it enters the system at time t, if I is its minimum interarrival time between two consecutive requests, t + I will be its deadline. In the next section an example of a realtime application is described. In the other sections various algorithms are surveyed. The descriptions in each section are groupped according to the main characteristic of the algorithms. Finally, in section 7, a ...
Pointing gesture in a bird- merely instrumental or a cognitively complex behavior?

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract Gestures, particularly pointing, are regarded as important pre-speech acts. Intentional and referential pointing has been shown previously in humans and apes but not in songbirds, although some avian species show cognitive abilities rivaling those of apes, and their brain structures and functions show putative preconditions for referential gestural signaling (i.e. mirror neurons, links of vocal learning nuclei to discrete brain areas active during limb and body movements). The results reported are based on trials testing predator detection and responses to a taxidermic model of a wedge-tailed eagle by Australian magpies Gymnorhina tibicen. Magpies were subjected to three conditions of finding this model in their territory (open, sheltered and hidden). In the sheltered and hidden conditions, the discoverer simultaneously engaged in alarm calls and beak pointing, a behavior that has not been described previously. Other group members at once assembled and, after watching the first bird, adopted the same posture by pointing to the location of the intruder. The question is whether beak and body movements orienting towards important stimuli or events are instances of arousal, imitation or intentional communication. The latter presupposes that onlookers interpret the signal and respond by altering their own behavior appropriate to the original stimulus and not merely by imitating the first signaler. Evidence presented here indicates that the act of pointing may well be a complex cognitive behavior, i.e., an intentional and referential signal, showing that pointing is not limited to having hands and arms.

Exploring the potential moderating role of self‐compassion on the relationships between event centrality and post‐assault psychological outcomes

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Objective The present study examined whether post‐assault internal processes (i.e., present control, event centrality, and compassionate and uncompassionate self‐responding) were associated with distress and resilience among women who have experienced adult sexual assault. The authors also tested whether compassionate and uncompassionate self‐responses would moderate the relationships between event centrality and outcomes. Method A convenience sample of women who had experienced sexual assault during adulthood ( N = 253) completed an anonymous online survey. Results Regression analyses showed that lower present control, higher event centrality, and higher uncompassionate responses to the self were associated with posttraumatic stress disorder. Additionally, higher present control and higher compassionate responses to the self were associated with resilience. Moderation analyses were not significant. Conclusions Endorsing greater levels of uncompassionate responses was associated with greater distress while engaging in greater compassionate responses was associated with greater resilience, even when accounting for levels of present control and event centrality.

Landau Quantization in Coupled Weyl Points: A Case Study of Semimetal NbP

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Weyl semimetal (WSM) is a newly discovered quantum phase of matter that exhibits topologically protected states characterized by two separated Weyl points with linear dispersion in all directions. Here, via combining theoretical analysis and magneto-infrared spectroscopy of an archetypal Weyl semimetal, niobium phosphide, we demonstrate that the coupling between Weyl points can significantly modify the electronic structure of a WSM and provide a new twist to the protected states. These findings suggest that the coupled Weyl points should be considered as the basis for analysis of realistic WSMs.
Which one is the real matchmaker for the pair?

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

A fundamental question for meiosis is how homologous chromosomes (homologs) find each other and pair together to ensure homologous recombination and segregation. Intuitively, the answer to the question is related to the interaction between homologous sequences. However, that is not the whole story according to some studies on the role of cohesins in homolog pairing. The most recent one by Ishiguro et al.1 of the Watanabe group indicates that chromosome architecture defined by a meiosis-specific cohesin protein RAD21L is the key to homology searching. Moreover, they report that homologous pairing is dependent on neither SPO11, an evolutionarily conserved type 2 isomerase responsible for generating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), nor SUN1, which tethers the ends of chromosomes to the nuclear envelop (NE) and facilitates chromosome movement and bouquet formation. These discoveries are quite some surprises!
Evaluating Coconut Fiber and Fly Ash Composites for Use in Landfill Retention Layers

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

<p>This study utilized a series of experimental tests, including the Atterberg limit, standard Proctor, permeability, and direct shear tests. Three composites were investigated: 85% fly ash-10% bentonite (V1), 90% fly ash-5% bentonite (V2), and 95% fly ash-0% bentonite (V3). All composites contained 5% coconut fiber. The plasticity index (PI) increased significantly from 19.10% to 22.15%, with a change in bentonite content from 0% to 10%. All composite met the landfill liner plasticity index standards. The permeability values were low and satisfied local criteria, namely 1.052 x 10-5 (V1), 1.260 x 10-5 (V2), and 1.394 x 10-5 (V3). Composite V2 has the best value with a cohesion value of 55 kPa and a shear angle of 22°.Therefore, composite V3 was the most promising composite as an alternative covering material for landfills because it has the lowest atterberg limits results, the lowest OMC, and the results from the direct shear test that meet the criteria even though it is not the best result among the three variations. However, by supporting the OMC value and good plasticity, the V3 composite was chosen. This study is beneficial and valuable in the engineering, selection, and design of materials used for the construction of landfill liners. .</p>
Beliefs Without Judgments: A Plea for the Belief View of Implicit Attitudes

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Implicit attitudes (IAs) are mental states that are responsible for discriminatory behaviour called 'implicit bias'. There is no agreement about the nature of IAs. Some argue that they don't differ from beliefs. This paper defends this view from the following objection: one is in a good epistemic position with respect to one's beliefs; if one believes that P, one tends to know that one believes that P. However, studies show that often people are not aware of having IAs. How can it be if IAs are beliefs? I address this objection by defending the claim that implicit beliefs constitute a special kind of belief — beliefs that are not accompanied by the relevant judgments. More precisely, if one implicitly believes that P, a tokening of this belief is not accompanied by judging that P. Since judging is a route to knowing one's beliefs, this route is blocked for implicit beliefs.
Constraints in paddy cultivation faced by the farmers in upper Kuttanad: A study in Alappuzha district of Kerala

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Alappuzha holds the second position with respect to area, production and productivity of rice in Kerala. The Kuttand region, where rice farming is practiced below mean sea level is called the “Rice bowl of Kerala”. For studying the constraints faced by the farmers in the region a survey was conducted in the upper Kuttand region. The study was based on the primary data collected from 25 each paddy farmers cultivating in salt water affected and unaffected areas from the Haripad block of Alappuzha district of Kerala. Garrett’s ranking method was used for the constraint analysis. Weed problem was the major constraint faced by most of the farmers from the salt water unaffected areas followed by the scarcity of hired labour. In the case of salt water affected farmers, the major constraint was the salt water intrusion, followed by decrease in quality of paddy due to salinity.
New flavon glucuronides, scopoletin glycosides from the roots of Althaea officinalis L. and anti-hyaluronidase-1 activity

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Aqueous extracts from the roots of Althea officinalis L. are used for treatment of cough and irritation of the mucosal membranes. Recent investigations indicated specific stimulation of proliferation of epithelial KB cells by aqueous marshmallow extract [1]. Phytochemical investigation of a polysaccharide-depleted methanol-water (1:1) extract (RE) revealed the presence of the flavons Hypolaetin-8-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-1''',4''-β-O-D-glucopyranoside, Hypolaetin-4'-methlyether-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside-2″-O-sulfate, Hypolaetin-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside-2″-O-sulfate, Isoscutellarein-4'-methlyether-8-O-β-D-glucuronopyransoide-3″-O-sulfate and Hypolaetin-4'-methylether-8-O-β-D-glucuronopyransoide-3″-O-sulfate, beside the cumarin Scopoletin-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-L-rhamnoside which are all not described so far. Furthermore the extract was shown to contain 5 different N-phenylpropenoyl-L-amino acid amides, mono- and oligosaccharides, amino acids and glycinbetain.
Junta dreams or nightmares? Observations of Burma's military since 1988

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

More than a decade after taking power in a bloody crackdown on a nationwide pro-democracy movement, the Burmese military junta appears unencumbered by international and domestic reprobation of its authoritarian practices. The junta has barely flinched in the face of the suspension of economic aid, the imposition of an arms embargo, the ban on U.S. visas for senior junta leaders and the 1997 ban on new investment in Burma by U.S. citizens. Throughout the last decade of junta rule, rumors of military factions, elite in-fighting ("hard-liners vs. soft-liners"), army mutinies, desertions of foot soldiers, a Chinese takeover, and the outright demise of the regime have been notable for their frequency, optimism, and inaccuracy. All around them, Burma's military rulers watch authoritarian regimes crumble. And nothing seems to change in Burma.

A Model of Nominal Contracts

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

A model is produced in which labor contracts that prespecify (unindexed) nominal wage payments arise endogenously. These contracts function as a self-selection mechanism. Under appropriately different attitudes toward price-level risk (which can either arise directly from preferences or be induced by different patterns of asset holdings), nominal contracts allow high-productivity workers to signal their type by their willingness to accept unindexed contracts. This explanation of nominal contracts does not require that money be used in any particular set of transactions, and nominal contracts enhance the risk faced by all parties accepting them.

Noun Phrases in "Imaji Terindah" Novel By Sitta Karina: A Generative Transformation Analysis

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article is about noun phrases that basically consists of a noun. The data used in this article is taken from the novel "Imaji Terindah" by Sitta Karina with a generative transformation approach. The theory of generative transformation is a system of rules consisting of a limited set of rules but capable of generating or creating a limited number of sentences. There are three stages followed in this research method, namely the stage of providing data. In this step, the listening method is used. Then in analyzing the data analysis, the author uses the distributional method. And the last stage presenting the results of data analysis. At this stage the author uses a formal method. The characteristic of noun phrases in this novel is the noun as the main element. Noun phrases is functioned the subject, predicate, and object. Based on the characteristics of noun phrases in this novel, the elements of noun phrases are grouped into two types, namely primary elements and modifier elements. In the novel "The most beautiful image" by Sitta Karina, there are many sentences using the 'yang' relator.
