Impaired T-cell rsponse to subsequent TCR-stimulation after anti-CD3 induced proliferation

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

We discuss the presence of anti-keratin antibodies (AKA) of the IgG class in patients with defined juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).An indirect immunofluorescence test and rat oesophagus substrate was used for the detection and quantification of AKA antibodies in patients´ sera.Overall 33/60 patients with JIA had sera positive for AKA (55 %, P = 0,0001) ranging from 1:10 to 1:160 dilutions.Following idiopathic arthritis of childhood classification criteria AKA occurred in 2/7 patients with systemic disease (28,6 %), in 13/30 patients with RF negative polyarthritis (43,3 %, P = 0,008) and in 15/18 RF positive polyarthritis (83,3 %, P = 0,000002).AKA were also found in a small cohort of patients with oligoarthritis (1/3) and psoriatic arthritis (2/2).AKA positivity occurred in 3/26 healthy controls at a 1:20 dilution.The presence of AKA was correlated as well as with the severity of the disease.Our study revealed that AKA was present overall in 18/29 patients (62%) with severe JIA and in 12/26 patients (46,2 %) with non-severe disease, however this did not reach statistical significance (P = 0,18).We also observed that AKA remained positive regardless of disease activity.AKA were detectable in 55,6 % patients with active JIA and in 48,6 % patients in the complete or near remission.
Alternatives to Friction Coefficient: Fine Touch Perception Correlates with Frictional Instabilities

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract Fine touch perception is often correlated to material properties and friction coefficients, but the inherent variability of human motion has led to low correlations and contradictory findings. Instead, we hypothesized that humans use frictional instabilities to discriminate between objects. Here, we constructed a set of coated surfaces with minimal physical differences, but due to differences in surface chemistry, generated different types of instabilities depending on how quickly a finger is slid and pressed during sliding. In one experiment, we used a mechanical mock finger to quantify and classify differences in instability formation from different coated surfaces. In a second experiment, participants perform a discrimination task using the same coated surfaces. Using the data from these two experiments, we found that human discrimination response times were faster with surfaces where the mock finger produced more stiction spikes and discrimination accuracy was higher where the mock finger produced more steady sliding. Conversely, traditional metrics like surface roughness or average friction coefficient did not relate to tactile discriminability. In fact, the typical method of averaging friction coefficients led to a spurious correlation which erroneously suggests that distinct objects should feel identical and identical objects should feel distinct—similar to findings by others. Friction instabilities may offer a more predictive and tractable framework of fine touch perception than friction coefficients, which would accelerate the design of tactile interfaces.
Research on a Crack Extraction Algorithm of Bridge Deck of Simple Supported Girder

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The crack detection of the simple support beam bridge before leaving the factory is an extremely critical step in its production and casting process, which is directly related to whether the bridge can be serviced normally. In this paper, an improved bridge deck crack extraction algorithm based on ResNet and Fcn convolutional neural networks is proposed. Firstly, a 1-3-1 mode residual network is constructed based on ResNet network to extract the features of the input crack pictures. Then, the size restoration work is carried out by the deconvolution module, and a multi-scale information fusion module is added to increase the receptive field to ensure the transmission of detailed information. Experiments show that the average pixel accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 0.84 and the average intersection-union ratio is 0.81, which is better than other comparison algorithms, and can effectively complete the task of crack detection of the bridge deck of simple support girder.
[Optimization of enzymatic extraction of effective constituents from fibrous roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza by central composite design and response surface method].

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The fibrous roots are the residues of production of cut crude drug of Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza). Enzymatic pretreatment and ultrasonic extraction are beneficial to extract effective constituents from fibrous roots more effectively. The present research was to optimize the enzymatic parameters by the central composite design and response surface method. Under the best conditions, the yields of total tanshinones and total salvianolic acids in the extracts of enzymatic pretreatment increased by 113.92% and 30.64%, comparing with the non-enzymatic extraction, respectively. TLC analysis also showed that the types of effective constituents in the two samples were not affected by enzymatic hydrolysis. Meanwhile, the complex correlation coefficients of the mathematical models were high, which provided a good prediction.

The concept of remediation can help explain the cultural economy of the World Wide Web. As developed in a recently published book (co-authored with Jay Bolter), remediation refers to the way in which new digital media refashion prior media forms. Digital media like computer graphics, virtual reality, and the web define themselves by borrowing from, paying homage to, critiquing, and refashioning their predecessors, principally television, film, photography, and painting, but also print. Furthermore, older media can remediate newer ones within the same media economy. Remediation seems to be a fundamental characteristic not only for contemporary media, but for all visual media at least since the Renaissance with its invention of linear-perspective painting. Each medium seems to follow this pattern of borrowing and refashioning other media, and rivalry as well as homage seems always to be at work. In this paper I take up the cultural economy of the web in relation to three competing conceptual frameworks for making sense of new digital media: cyberspace, ubiquitous computing, and mediated public space. In so doing I hope to move towards an analysis of the cultural economy of the heterogenous networks within which digital media circulate and areconsumed.
A Multi-Purpose Simulation Environment for UAV Research

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract : Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing an important role in today's military initiatives. UAVs have proven to be invaluable in locating critical targets and reporting enemy movements or positions to battlefield commanders. Integration of new technologies necessitates simulation prior to fielding new systems in order to avoid costly errors. The unique nature of UAVs in a modern combat environment requires the simulation of a significant part of the battle space to test the robustness of new technologies. Furthermore, simulation environments should be flexible and generic to allow for expedient testing of a wide range of concepts. Members of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson AFB are developing a multi-purpose simulation environment that will allow for the assessment of many different types of UAV technologies. This paper discusses this simulation activity and describes how it fits into AFRL's corporate plan.

Effects of malicious attacks in mobile ad-hoc networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are an emerging research area with applications. It has features like working as a router, dynamic topology and autonomous. In MANET, nodes have limited resources like battery power, storage space and bandwidth. There is a need to do more research for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in MANET as compared to wire line DoS attacks. MANET is vulnerable to different types of DoS attack in which packets are drop. Black hole attack, packet drop attack and gray hole attack are an event that eliminates a network's capacity to perform its expected function. These attacks are type of DoS attack which we examine in this paper. This paper shows the effects of black hole attack, packet drop attack and gray hole attack on AODV protocol under different performance metrics throughput, packet drop rate and end-to-end delay. The simulation is done in Network Simulator (NS) 2.
Recognizing Faces in Motion

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In addition to the nonrigid and rigid motions of the head, both of which have been shown to facilitate face recognition, another familiar type of movement occurs whenever a person approaches you. We investigated whether this kind of looming motion has any effect on recognition performance. We used 12 different male head models from the MPI face database and placed them on the same 3-D body model. These figures were animated to approach the observer. Subjects were familiarised either with the last frame out of the rendered sequence, which basically showed the head and shoulders of the person, or the entire video sequence. To facilitate learning, observers filled out a questionnaire relating to the facial features and the personality of each individual, a facilitation phase that lasted approximately 1 h. After a brief intervening task, observers were shown 12 pairs of static faces, one old and one new in each pair, and asked to identify the familiar individual. These test faces were rendered from a novel viewpoint to increase the demands of the recognition task. Our initial results indicate a robust advantage for dynamic familiarisation.
International Legal Regulation of Cooperation of the Russian Federation and Neighboring States in the Arctic on the Basis of Bilateral Treaties

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The modern Law of the Arctic regime is administered both at the international law and national law levels. International legal regulation of the Arctic regime is exercised at the level of international multilateral and bilateral treaties. Multilateral treaties are aimed primarily to legal relations that govern the regime of Arctic maritime areas, as well as the decision of environmental issues in the region. Bilateral treaties are aimed to regulate the cross-border problems of neighboring countries. First of all, it means resolving contentious issues of delimitation of maritime areas of the Arctic, cooperation in the field of fisheries and mineral resources. Bilateral treaties are binding only for their members and do not create obligations for third countries. In some cases there are collisions between international bilateral and multilateral agreements on matters relating to the delimitation of neighboring maritime areas. Determination of the effectiveness of existing in the Arctic region international treaties and of their future development needs to be monitored.
Iterative overlap-part estimation method for generating reliable 3D terrain maps

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

For efficient wide-area exploration by an autonomous planetary rover, the generation of a global environmental map is very important. A global map is generated by aligning overlapping terrain features from digital elevation maps that are obtained during a rover traveling in a region. Each set of data contains information in different areas, and the overlapping part in each set of data may be missing data because of difference in a position and an orientation of a rover. Conventional alignment techniques based on comparing features assume that datas were measured from very similar positions and orientations. Otherwise, the differences in the measured region deteriorate the quality of a resulting global map. This problem should be addressed by a fairly simple way because of the limited processing capabilities of planetary exploration rovers. Hence, we propose a method for generating highly accurate global maps by considering differences in measured regions and iteratively estimating the overlapping parts in terrain data and we try describe a theoretical proof of our method. The method is evaluated using simulated data and some experimental data obtained from experiments using our mobile robot and experimental rover in a real environment.
Hearing Impairment in children with history of kernicterus and crebral palsy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Critical period of development of speech and language is early 3 yrs of life. Even a mild hearing impairment can interfere with speech and language development. Hearing impairment has the highest incidence rate for any pediatric disability, since several risk factors in infants with cerebral palsy(CP) are the same risk factors to develop hearing impairment. Thus, it should come as no surprise that hearing impairment occurs more frequently among children with cerebral palsy than in the general population. Recent studies have shown that up to 13% of children with cerebral palsy suffer from a hearing loss and important cause of auditory neuropathy. Aim of the study: To assess and analyze the audiological profile in children with cerebral palsy Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done on 67 children of 1 to 16 years of age of both genders who were diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Tympanometry, otoacoustic emission, and auditory brain stem response hearing tests were employed to categorize the hearing impairment. Results: Hearing impairment was observed in right ear 67.2 % and left ear 64.2% in children with cerebral palsy. Profound sensorineural hearing loss in 25.4% in bilateral ear was observed. History of kernicterus was found in 17.9% children with cerebral palsy. Conclusions: Prevalence of hearing impairment in children with cerebral palsy is alarming. This warrants early identification and diagnosis of hearing impairment. This early identification may facilitate better development of speech and language as well as positive outcomes. Therefore audiological assessment should be incorporated into the diagnostic and therapeutic plan of all children with cerebral palsy Keywords: Hearing Loss, Cerebral palsy, BERA, Kernicterus.

INTERNET SOURCING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON SERVICE DELIVERY IN TURKANA COUNTY GOVERNMENT

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The aim of internet procurement adoption is to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and responsibility of public procurement. Kenyan county governments encountered procurement challenges during the Covid-19 period, leading to the implementation of internet procurement as a solution. This aligns with a global trend. The County of Turkana's procurement process has faced obstacles stemming from non-compliance with procurement laws and a lack of technological expertise. This study examines the impact of internet procurement on the Turkana County government's service delivery. The study aimed to assess the impact of internet sourcing characteristics on service delivery by the Turkana County administration. The study utilized the diffusion of innovation theory as an analytical framework. The research utilized correlational and descriptive survey designs. The audience comprised 60 individuals, consisting of 20 staff members and 30 procurement officers. A saturation sampling strategy was employed for sample size determination. Data was collected through questionnaires and interview schedules. Experts in management science confirmed the instruments’ validity. The West Pokot County Administration carried out a pilot project. A reliability test was conducted using Cronbach's alpha, with a minimum threshold of r>0.70. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the extent to which the independent variables affected the variance in the dependent variable. The R-squared coefficient of determination for the multiple regression model indicates that service delivery accounted for a significant portion of the variation in the internet procurement process. The study found that internet sourcing had a significant positive impact on service delivery. The study suggests that an online supplier contract management system would be beneficial for the County government to handle supplier selection and management. The study's results suggest that internet procurement could enhance service delivery by the Turkana County administration and federal government.
FPGAS in high energy physics experiments at CERN

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the worldpsilas largest particle physics centre. It provides state-of-the-art scientific facilities to use in exploring what matter is made of, and what forces hold it together. Observing phenomena at the subatomic level requires extraordinary instruments, particle accelerators and particle detectors. In a particle accelerator, beams of subatomic particles are boosted to nearly the speed of light and then brought into collision with either a stationary target or another beam of accelerated particles coming head-on. Each of these collisions is called an event. Each event is very complex since lots of particles are produced. In order to look for these various particles and decay products, multi-component detectors that study different aspects of an event are built around the collision point. Each component of a modern detector is used for measuring particle energies and momentum, and/or distinguishing different particle types. Most modern particle detectors produce tiny electrical signals that can be treated and recorded as computer data. Detectors in high-energy physics characteristically produce great quantities of data, whose acquisition, reduction and interpretation have made up a significant component of the experimental effort both technically and financially. For the past 60 years, the historic advances in elementary particle physics are linked to the progress in accelerator and detector technologies, as well as in the associated readout electronics technologies. Owing to the continuous evolution in the semiconductor industry, the front-end and readout electronics for High Energy Physics have been evolving to satisfy decade after decade the increasing demands of the experiments. Very deep submicron CMOS FPGAs not only offer speed, density, computational power and flexibility, but also intrinsic radiation tolerance. ASICs and FPGAs are largely used in many different areas in High Energy Physics: controls, monitoring, signal processing, data compression, high-speed data links, online reconstruction and selection of the collision events. This contribution aims at reviewing the important role that FPGAs play in modern High Energy Physics Experiments by presenting some of the most advanced and peculiar applications of FPGAs at CERN.
Modeling and Simulation of An Offshore Pipe Handling Machine

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The objective of modeling the offshore machinery is to allow virtual prototyping and simulation of new designs which in turn makes it possible for engineers to test, redesign, adjust, and optimize a product before it is manufactured. An essential part of the modeling process is validation of the simulation results against real world measurements which in most cases is the limiting factor for achievable accuracy of the modeled system. In this paper we present a case study where a subsystem of an offshore drilling equipment is modeled and benchmarked with a full-scale machinery. Unlike some other works, the current study shows validation of the simulation results and friction identification process. We demonstrate that the model of the vertical pipe handling machine captures the important features of the real world system, and fundamentally improves computational effort of the simulation software as compared to a regular, multi-body model of the same equipment. Hence, the established model could be successfully applied in model based control system design as well as in real-time testing of control systems before commissioning of the equipment.
