Protocol for the operation of a breathing and vaping biomimetic robot to delineate real-time inhaled particle profile of electronic cigarettes

STAR Protocols, 2022
Summary: We recently developed a robotic human vaping mimetic real-time particle analyzer (HUMITIPAA) to evaluate the impact of change in chemical constituents and breathing profiles of electronic cigarettes (ECs) on potential pulmonary toxicity.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Physics Informed Neural Network for Health Monitoring of an Air Preheater

PHM Society European Conference, 2022
Air Preheater (APH) is a regenerative heat exchanger employed in thermal power plants to save fuel by improving their thermal efficiency. Monitoring the health of APH vis-a-vis its fouling is critical because fouling often results in forced outages of ...

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.
