Measures of youth e-cigarette use: strengths, weaknesses and recommendations

Frontiers in Public Health
This perspective discusses how to best define “e-cigarette use” among youth in a way that is relevant to individual and human health. Commonly-used definitions of youth e-cigarette use have been adapted from measures validated for tobacco cigarette ...

Role of interactions in time-of-flight expansion of atomic clouds from optical lattices

, 2010
We calculate the effect of interactions on the expansion of ultracold atoms from a single site of an optical lattice. We use these results to predict how interactions influence the interference pattern observed in a time of flight experiment.

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Engineering tandem VHHs to target different epitopes to enhance antibody‐dependent cell‐mediated cytotoxicity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tandem VHH targeting distinct EGFR epitopes were engineered into a monovalent bispecific antibody (7D12‐EGA1‐Fc) with more potent ADCC without increasing affinity to EGFR. Structural modeling of 7D12‐EGA1‐Fc showed cross‐linking of separate EGFR domains to enhance CD16a engagement on NK cells.

The polarization of F1 strings into D2 branes: "Aut Caesar aut nihil"

, 2001
We give matrix and supergravity descriptions of type IIA F-strings polarizing into cylindrical D2 branes. When a RR four-form field strength F_4 is turned on in a supersymmetric fashion (with 4 supercharges), a complete analysis of the solutions reveals ...

Erythropoietin modulates hepatic inflammation, glucose homeostasis, and soluble epoxide hydrolase and epoxides in high‐fat diet‐induced obese mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Erythropoietin administration suppresses hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression, leading to increased CYP‐derived epoxides. This is associated with a shift in hepatic macrophage polarization characterized by reduced M1 markers and increased M2 markers, along with reduced hepatic inflammation, suppressed hepatic lipogenesis, and attenuated ...

Laser gas-discharge absorption measurements of the ratio of two transition rates in argon

, 2002
The ratio of two line strengths at 922.7 nm and 978.7 nm of argon is measured in an argon pulsed discharge with the use of a single-mode Ti:Sapphire laser.

Device signal strength self-calibration using histograms

2012 International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN), 2012
Traditionally, positioning with WLAN Received Signal Strength (RSS) fingerprints involves the laborious task of collecting a radiomap with a reference mobile device. Best accuracy can be guaranteed only in case the user carries the same device, while positioning with different devices requires a calibration step to make the new devices' RSS values ...

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.
