MicroRNA-155 influences B-cell function through PU.1 in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is an important regulator of B cells in mice. B cells have a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here we show that miR-155 is highly expressed in peripheral blood B cells from RA patients compared with ...

World ships: Feasibility and Rationale [PDF]
World ships are hypothetical, large, self-contained spacecraft for crewed interstellar travel, taking centuries to reach other stars. Due to their crewed nature, size, and long trip times, the feasibility of world ships faces an additional set of challenges compared to interstellar probes.

Homo in Machina: Improving Fuzz Testing Coverage via Compartment Analysis [PDF]
Fuzz testing is often automated, but also frequently augmented by experts who insert themselves into the workflow in a greedy search for bugs. In this paper, we propose Homo in Machina, or HM-fuzzing, in which analyses guide the manual efforts, maximizing benefit. As one example of this paradigm, we introduce compartment analysis.

Parametric analysis of a cabin fire using a zone fire model
Fire onboard has always been considered as one of the most relevant hazards to ships. As an effect of ship fires, toxic smoke might develop and start spreading from the compartment of fire origin to other connected compartments.

Autonomous Exploration and General Visual Inspection of Ship Ballast Water Tanks using Aerial Robots [PDF]
This paper presents a solution for the autonomous exploration and inspection of Ballast Water Tanks (BWTs) of marine vessels using aerial robots. Ballast tank compartments are critical for a vessel's safety and correspond to confined environments often connected through particularly narrow manholes.

Nigral diffusivity, but not free water, correlates with iron content in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
The loss of melanized neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta is a primary feature in Parkinson's disease (PD). Iron deposition occurs in conjunction with this loss. Loss of nigral neurons should remove barriers for diffusion and increase diffusivity of water molecules in regions undergoing this loss.

Manoeuvrability of a Large Cruise Ship after Damage for Safe Return to Port
Free-running model tests were conducted using a scaled model of a large cruise ship with a damaged compartment, to investigate the effects of damage opening and floodwater on the manoeuvring performance in calm water and regular and irregular head waves.
