Effect of temperature cycles on the sleep-like state in Hydra vulgaris by Aya Sato, Manabu Sekiguchi, Koga Nakada, Taishi Yoshii, Taichi Q. Itoh

“…Conclusions These findings indicate that both light and temperature influence the regulation of the sleep-like state in Hydra. Moreover, these observations highlight the existence of distinct regulatory mechanisms that govern patterns of the sleep-like state in brainless organisms, suggesting the potential involvement of specific regions for responsiveness of environmental cues for regulation of the sleep-like state.…”

Effect of Titania Nano-additives on Fine and Ultrafine Carbonaceous Emissions during Flame Combustion of Diesel by Akshat Jain, Anirudha Ambekar, Thaseem Thajudeen

“…This study focuses on experimentally investigating the change in particulate matter (PM) emissions during the flame combustion of diesel blended with varying quantities of titania (TiO2) nano-additives. The initial observations using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer showed a reduction in the total number concentration (TNC) of PM emissions for TiO2-nanofuel samples compared to diesel. …”

From Book to Playlist: How Open-Access Audio Archives are Renewing the Poetry Collection by Abigail Lang

“…Listening closely to two 1972 readings and examining a reading program for a 1941 reading at the YMHA preserved in the Zukofsky archives, I establish that such sources offer valuable insights into the work, expose a series of criteria used by poets to compose their readings, show how a poet can repurpose old poems in renewed contextures, and ultimately observe that approaching Zukofsky through his audiotexts tilts his work decisively toward song. …”

Degraded products generated by iron stent inhibit the vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation by downregulating AP-1 by Jiabing Huang, Bingjian Liu, Chunguang Zhao, Jing Li, Dongxu Qiu

“…In our previous study, we found that the iron stent reduced the neointimal hyperplasia in an atherosclerotic artery stenosis model, and the iron corroded granules generated by the iron stent inhibited neointimal hyperplasia by suppressing the proliferation of VSMCs. However, this observation needs to be validated through in vitro experimentation. …”

Zigbee Wireless Sensor Networks: Performance Study in an Apartment-Based Indoor Environment by Biswajit Kumar Dash, Jun Peng

“…Our results show that in the deployment of IoT networks in a smart home, radio interference from neighboring homes would not be an important factor, but serious considerations may need to be taken inside the same home. The experimental observations of this paper can serve as a good reference study for Zigbee network deployments in real indoor environments, particularly when interference sources are present in proximity.…”
