We have analyzed the results of investigation of alterations in indices of pro-oxidant (conjugated diene and malondialdehyde) and antioxidant (superoxide dismutase, ceruloplasmin, catalase) systems in guinea pigs’ lungs in experimental allergic ...

$\mathrm{e}^+$$\mathrm{e}^-$ Beam-beam Parameter Study for a TeV-scale PWFA Linear Collider [PDF]
We perform a beam-beam parameter study for a TeV-scale PWFA (particle-driven plasma wakefield acceleration) $\mathrm{e}^+$$\mathrm{e}^-$ linear collider using GUINEA-PIG simulations. The study shows that the total luminosity follows the $1/\sqrt{\sigma_z}$-scaling predicted by beamstrahlung theory, where $\sigma_z$ is the rms beam length, which is ...

Label-free optical vibrational spectroscopy to detect the metabolic state of M. tuberculosis cells at the site of disease [PDF]
Tuberculosis relapse is a barrier to shorter treatment. It is thought that lipid rich cells, phenotypically resistant to antibiotics, may play a major role. Most studies investigating relapse use sputum samples although tissue bacteria may play an important role. We developed a non-destructive, label-free technique combining wavelength modulated Raman (

Studies on the Electron Reconstruction Efficiency for the Beam Calorimeter of an ILC Detector [PDF]
In this talk recent simulation results on the single high energy electron reconstruction with the Beam Calorimeter for the ILD detector are presented. Guinea Pig is used to generate the e+e- pair background and GEANT4 for the simulation of electron showers in the calorimeter.

Efficient Pig Counting in Crowds with Keypoints Tracking and Spatial-aware Temporal Response Filtering [PDF]
Pig counting is a crucial task for large-scale pig farming, which is usually completed by human visually. But this process is very time-consuming and error-prone. Few studies in literature developed automated pig counting method. Existing methods only focused on pig counting using single image, and its accuracy is challenged by several factors ...

Cochlear Implantation in the Guinea Pig [PDF]
Cochlear implants are highly efficient devices that can restore hearing in subjects with profound hearing loss. Due to improved speech perception outcomes, candidacy criteria have been expanded over the last few decades. This includes patients with substantial residual hearing that benefit from electrical and acoustical stimulation of the same ear ...

Generalized inverse xgamma distribution: A non-monotone hazard rate model [PDF]
In this article, a generalized inverse xgamma distribution (GIXGD) has been introduced as the generalized version of the inverse xgamma distribution. The proposed model exhibits the pattern of non-monotone hazard rate and belongs to family of positively skewed models. The explicit expressions of some distributional properties, such as, moments, inverse

Coding Capacity of Purkinje Cells with Different Schemes of Morphological Reduction [PDF]
The brain as a neuronal system has very complex structure with large diversity of neuronal types. The most basic complexity is seen from the structure of neuronal morphology, which usually has a complex tree-like structure with dendritic spines distributed in branches.

ILC Extraction Line Simulations with TDR Parameters [PDF]
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the latest ILC beam parameters at the Interaction Point (IP), as specified in the 2013 ILC Technical Design Report (TDR), on beam losses in the extraction line. The previous beam loss evaluation was based on the parameters specified in the 2007 ILC Reference Design Report (RDR).

Computer Algorithms for Automated Detection and Analysis of Local Ca2+ Releases in Spontaneously Beating Cardiac Pacemaker Cells [PDF]
Local Ca Releases (LCRs) are crucial events involved in cardiac pacemaker cell function. However, specific algorithms for automatic LCR detection and analysis have not been developed in live, spontaneously beating pacemaker cells. Here we measured LCRs using a high-speed 2D-camera in spontaneously contracting sinoatrial (SA) node cells isolated from ...
