Persistent Interleukin‐18 Fuels Expansion of CD38+HLA‐DR+CD8+ T Cells in Still Disease and Macrophage Activation Syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Still disease (SD) is an autoinflammatory disorder characterized by remarkably high interleukin‐18 (IL‐18) levels. Increasing evidence suggests that adaptive immunity also contributes to its pathogenesis, particularly in refractory courses. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), one of SD's most severe complications, is associated with further

Corticosterone and Mitochondrial Efficiency Are Associated With Changes in DNA Oxidative Damage During an Acute Stress Response in Leach's Storm‐Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).

Software In the Loop Simulation for Robot Manipulators

, 2017
In the last decades, the classical verification of robotic software component is postponed until the code is developed enough to function in real hardware. For this reason, the verification of code at early stages is essential to reduce development costs

Development of an electrochemically approximated simulation model and a hardware substitution cell approach for thermal management battery system tests

Automotive and Engine Technology
Battery tests require a high degree of safety-related preparation and constant monitoring of the operating parameters to guarantee the smooth running of tests without incidents or exceptional events such as a thermal runaway.

Sensorial and nutritional qualities of muscles from cross‐bred Salers heifers raised on mid‐mountain pasture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

The usability of open source software: analysis and prospects [PDF]

, 2006
Open source communities have successfully developed many pieces of software although most computer users only use proprietary applications. The usability of open source software is often regarded as one reason for this limited distribution. In this paper

A Methodology for Real-Time HiL Validation of Hydraulic-Press Controllers Based on Novel Modeling Techniques

IEEE Access, 2019
Industrial machines commissioning consumes a great amount of man-hours, due to control designers lack of knowledge about the final controller gains before they start working with it.
