Neurotoxic amyloid β‐peptide and tau produce cytokine‐like effects on PMCA in glioblastoma cell lines, enhancing its activity and isoforms expression

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Two biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, amyloid β‐peptide (Aβ) and tau, induce the transformation of U‐251 and other glioblastoma cell lines into neurotoxic A1‐like reactive astrocytes. This transformation is produced by cytokines and is followed by upregulation of PMCA activity and isoform expression, and is closely associated with inflammation, as ...

Boundaries of photosynthesis: adaptations of carbon fixation in extreme environments

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Photosynthesis faces challenges from environmental extremes of temperature, pH, and salinity, limiting gas diffusion, modifying membrane fluidity, and destabilizing photochemical and biochemical reactions. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved unique adaptations overcoming these stresses and maintaining their photosynthetic activity.

An Arbitrary Time Interval Generator Base on Vernier Clocks with 0.67 ps Adjustable Steps Implemented in FPGA [PDF]

arXiv
In TDC testing or timing system implementation tasks, it is often desirable to generate signal pulses with fine adjustable time intervals. In delay cell-based schemes, the time adjustment steps are limited by the propagation delays of the cells, which are typically 15 to 20 picoseconds per step and are sensitive to temperature and operating voltage.

A Multi-Agents Architecture to Learn Vision Operators and their Parameters [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
In a vision system, every task needs that the operators to apply should be {\guillemotleft} well chosen {\guillemotright} and their parameters should be also {\guillemotleft} well adjusted {\guillemotright}. The diversity of operators and the multitude of their parameters constitute a big challenge for users.

An approach for coherent periodogram averaging of tilt‐series data for improved contrast transfer function estimation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The contrast transfer function (CTF) is an imaging aberration that is a major resolution‐limiting factor in cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Precise CTF estimation is key to overcoming this limitation, but is particularly challenging in cryo‐electron tomography (cryo‐ET) data. Here, we present an approach for using geometric information to assist in

Practical challenges in data‐driven interpolation: Dealing with noise, enforcing stability, and computing realizations

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView., 2023
Summary In this contribution, we propose a detailed study of interpolation‐based data‐driven methods that are of relevance in the model reduction and also in the systems and control communities. The data are given by samples of the transfer function of the underlying (unknown) model, that is, we analyze frequency‐response data.

FDI, Foreign Affiliate Operations, and the Transfer Process: Macroeconomic Adjustment to FDI Inflows in the Case of Costa Rica [PDF]

The theoretical and empirical literature on the macroeconomic effects of capital inflows posits that a net inflow of foreign capital leads to an equilibrium real exchange rate (RER) appreciation through an expansion in aggregate demand.
