THE PROCEDURE BY EVALUATION OF DIVERS FOR THE DEEP DIVING [PDF]

Annals: Series on engineering sciences (Academy of Romanian Scientists), 2014
When a diver is selected to perform a deep diving course, he has to pass a medical test and isn’t affected by the HPNS (High Pressure Nervous Syndrome). When a diver is selected to perform a deep diving course, he has to pass an evaluation stage in order

Self‐Healing and Ultra‐Stretchable Hydrogel Strain Sensor Based on Poly (AAm‐co‐AMPS) for Multifunctional Biomedical Applications

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A UV‐curable hydrogel strain sensor with ultrahigh stretchability (1000%), rapid self‐healing (3 s), and durability over 1000 cycles is reported. The sensor exhibits fast response/recovery (414/460 ms) and reliable motion monitoring on joints and muscles.

A Systematic Approach to Analyze T Cell Migration: Application to Mouse Melanoma Tumors

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The results show that a minimum of two migration speeds can be rigorously identified from the data with cells switching between a fast, persistent migratory state, and a slow, random migration state. These results will help in identifying genetic factors that influence rapid migration, among other applications, such as quality control for CAR‐T cell ...

Mechanical Cues Regulate Cargo Sorting and Export at the Golgi

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pathway is identified linking extracellular matrix stiffness to secretion via Src–FAK–AMPK–GBF1 signaling. Golgi‐localized GBF1 acts as a mechanotransducer whose phosphorylation controls post‐Golgi cargo sorting toward secretion or lysosomal degradation.

In Vitro Monitoring of Babesia microti Infection Dynamics in Whole Blood Microenvironments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, an open microfluidic platform termed “µ‐Blood” is reported for real‐time, continuous monitoring of Babesia microti infection dynamics in vitro. µ‐Blood allows direct interrogation of whole blood with preserved integrity of the original whole blood microenvironment through an extended period (e.g., 72 h with mouse red blood cells) ex vivo. µ‐Blood

Re‐Purposing a Modular Origami Manipulator Into an Adaptive Physical Computer for Machine Learning and Robotic Perception

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Reservoir computing in the physical domain promises an alternative, more energy‐efficient approach to machine learning. However, the correlation between mechanical design and computing power remains elusive. This study sheds light on this gap by repurposing a meta‐stable modular origami manipulator into an adaptive computing kernel that can perform ...

Price Premiums for Single‐Name and Compound‐Name Geographical Indications in Swiss Cheese Trade

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geographical indications (GIs) have become increasingly important in agri‐food markets, especially in Europe. For Swiss cheese imports and exports, we analyze whether GIs are associated with higher trade prices. We find that price premiums can be obtained for both exports and imports. However, this is only the case for cheeses with single name
