Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Time Series Anomaly Detection Using Transformer-Based GAN With Two-Step Masking

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Time series anomaly detection is a task that determines whether an unseen signal is normal or abnormal, and it is a crucial function in various real-world applications. Typical approach is to learn normal data representation using generative models, like

Masking Strategies for Image Manifolds

open access: yes, 2016
We consider the problem of selecting an optimal mask for an image manifold, i.e., choosing a subset of the pixels of the image that preserves the manifold's geometric structure present in the original data.

Associative and repetition priming with the repeated masked prime technique: No priming found [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Wentura and Frings (2005) reported evidence of subliminal categorical priming on a lexical decision task, using a new method of visual masking in which the prime string consisted of the prime word flanked by random consonants and random letter masks ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Tanner $(J,L)$ Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes: Girth Analysis and Derived Codes

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Girth plays an important role in the design of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Motivated by the works on the girth of some classes of Tanner quasi-cyclic (QC) LDPC codes, e.g., Tanner (3, 5), (3, 7), (3, 11), and (5, 7) codes, we, in this paper ...

Underwater Noise Monitoring with Real-Time and Low-Cost Systems, (The CORMA Experience)

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Marine life can be severely affected by anthropogenic underwater noise. This latter increased proportionally to the rise of human activities such as maritime traffic, marine civil engineering works, oil- and gas-related activities or offshore wind farms;

Twisted multifilament superconductor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
Masking selected portions of a ribbon and forming an intermetallic compound on the unmasked portions by a controlled diffusion reaction produces a twisted filamentary structure.
