Differences in stress reactivity between zebrafish with alternative stress coping styles [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Animals experience stress in a variety of contexts and the behavioural and neuroendocrine responses to stress can vary among conspecifics. The responses across stressors often covary within an individual and are consistently different between individuals,

Virtual Energy Management for Physical Energy Savings in a Legged Robot Hopping on Granular Media

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
We discuss an active damping controller to reduce the energetic cost of a single step or jump of dynamic locomotion without changing the morphology of the robot. The active damping controller adds virtual damping to a virtual leg spring created by direct-

Near-wall dynamics of single cavitation bubbles imaged by total internal reflection fluorescence

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
This study introduces total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) as a method for investigating the dynamics of a single laser-induced cavitation bubble in water within a thin layer near a solid surface.

Gray zone sample testing in enhancing blood safety

Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2021
Background: Gray zone samples with optical density (OD) lying between cutoff OD and 10% below the cutoff OD (cutoff OD × 0.9) were identified during routine Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTI) screening.

Retrospective Analysis of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions in Pediatric Patients With Mixed Chimerism After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is an essential therapy for several malignant and nonmalignant diseases, but relapse and graft loss remain the principal threats to its success. Routine monitoring of chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) enables early detection of imminent recurrence and guides ...

A randomization and unrolling framework to improve deep neural networks modelling chemistry integration across multiple combustion regimes

Applications in Energy and Combustion Science
Solving finite-rate chemical kinetics through direct integration is computationally expensive and often becomes a performance bottleneck in high-fidelity combustion simulations.

Powers and Power Factor in Non-Sinusoidal and Non-Symmetrical Regimes in Three-Phase Systems

Energies, 2022
The paper presents several theories related to definitions of powers and power factors in non-sinusoidal and non-symmetrical regimes. The theories must meet some requirements: (a) to facilitate the measuring of power quantities by using acquired ...

Pediatric Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Is Often Severe But Responsive to Siltuximab

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a potentially fatal immunologic disorder marked by widespread lymphadenopathy and inflammation. Siltuximab, an interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) inhibitor, is the only FDA‐approved treatment for adult patients with iMCD.

Non-responders in a quitline evaluation are more likely to be smokers – a drop-out and long-term follow-up study of the Swedish National Tobacco Quitline

Tobacco Induced Diseases, 2016
Introduction A previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Swedish National Tobacco Quitline detected no significant differences in smoking cessation outcomes between proactive and reactive services at 12-month follow-up. However, the response rate
