A Comparative Study of Cerebral Oxygenation During Exercise in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cognitive impairment and exercise intolerance are common in dialysis patients. Cerebral perfusion and oxygenation play a major role in both cognitive function and exercise execution; HD session per se aggravates cerebral ischemia in this population. This study aimed to compare cerebral oxygenation and perfusion at rest and in mild

A High-Performance and Temperature-Insensitive Shape Sensor Based on DPP-BOTDA

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
Distributed optical fiber strain sensing significantly increases the number of sensing points compared with fiber Bragg grating sensor, which makes it an excellent candidate for shape sensing. Theoretical analysis indicates that the spatial resolution of

Discontinuous Deformation Monitoring of Smart Aerospace Structures Based on Hybrid Reconstruction Strategy and Fiber Bragg Grating

Sensors
A hybrid enhanced inverse finite element method (E-iFEM) is proposed for real-time intelligent sensing of discontinuous aerospace structures. The method can improve the flight performance of intelligent aircrafts by feeding back the structural shape ...

Wing Shape Sensing from Measured Strain [PDF]

AIAA Infotech @ Aerospace, 2015
A new two-step theory is investigated for predicting the deflection and slope of an entire structure using measured strain at discrete locations. In the first step, a measured strain is fitted using a piecewise least-squares curve fitting method together with the cubic spline technique.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

How aging shapes our sense of agency

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
AbstractThe sense of agency refers to the feeling of controlling one’s actions and their effects on the external environment. Here, we tested how the physiological process of aging affects the agency experience by taking advantage of a validated ecological experimental paradigm and exploring the different dimensions of agency.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
