Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

On the Accuracy of Transmission Loss Measurements [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1960
One of the authors [M. Heckl and K. Seifert, Acustica 8, 212–220 (1958)] recently has described the performance of a wall between two, one-dimensional rooms (tubes). It was found that the TL was influenced by the relative lengths of the two rooms and by the sound absorption of the rooms.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

A Self-Adaptive Progressive Support Selection Scheme for Collaborative Wideband Spectrum Sensing

open access: yesSensors, 2018
The sampling rate of wideband spectrum sensing for sparse signals can be reduced by sub-Nyquist sampling with a Modulated Wideband Converter (MWC). In collaborative spectrum sensing, the fusion center recovers the spectral support from observation and ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Optical waveguide analysis using transmission lines [PDF]

open access: yes
Optical fibres have been used as a key medium for telecommunication and networking for more than two decades because in principle they offer sufficient transmission capacity, reaching total rates as high as Tbits/s per fibre.

Modeling and investigation of a multi-resonant metamaterial sound insulator

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics
A design of multi-resonant acoustic metamaterial sound insulator is proposed to attenuate multi-tonal and broadband noise. The unit cell of the metamaterial consists of a porous material with four, nine, and sixteen embedded Helmholtz resonators and its

Design Criteria of a Helmholtz Silencer with Multiple Degrees of Freedom for Hydraulic Systems

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2013
The vibration and noise caused by pressure pulsation, referred to as fluid-borne vibration or fluid-borne noise, are some of the most detrimental problems in hydraulic systems.

First demonstration of a low loss 37-cell hollow core photonic bandgap fiber and its use for data transmission

open access: yes
A low loss (4.5dB/km) 37-cell core HC-PBGF is reported for the first time. Detailed modal analysis using time of flight and S2 techniques, and error-free 40Gbit/s single mode data transmission are ...

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...
