Downregulation of MerTK in circulating T cells of patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy by Shimiao Bu, Shimiao Bu, Jiang-Yue Ling, Jiang-Yue Ling, Xiaojun Wu, Xiaojun Wu, Liting Zhang, Liting Zhang, Xiangyu Shi, Lang Huang, Zheng Zhao, Ying Yang, Zongqin Xiang, Yong U. Liu, Yong U. Liu, Yufeng Liu, Yuehong Zhang, Yuehong Zhang

“…Through flow cytometry, we assessed the protein levels and cellular distribution of MerTK, finding a predominant expression in monocytes and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), with a marked reduction in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as in natural killer T (NKT) cells. Patients with DM demonstrated a significant deviation in the PBMCs composition, particularly in B cells, CD4+ T cells, and NK cells, when compared to HDs. …”

风机偏心对空冷梁式桥架振动实验研究 by 郭铁能, 孟令军, 白春生, 华旭

“…The vibration problem of air-cooling fan bridge has been troubling the north thermal power plant.Excessive vibration amplitude causes the damage of fan,motor,reducer and other equipment,and affects the stability and economic benefit of power plant operation.In this paper,the vibration speed of the air-cooling fan exceeded the standard as the research object,and the data acquisition instrument and acceleration sensor were used to test the vibration of the air cooling fan bridge in the power plant of xiaoyi in Shanxi Province.According to the frequency characteristics generated by these incentives,the main influence factors of the vibration of the fan bridge caused by the original fan blades were explored.By analyzing the vibration signal,the main influencing factors of the vibration of fan bridge are explored according to the frequency characteristics.The test results show that the excessive vibration of the bridge is caused by the interference force caused by the fan eccentric mass.During the operation of the fan,the phase of the sensor at the middle of the bridge alternates positively and negatively,and the fan shaft produces a sway,which is inconsistent with the expected horizontal vibration of the bridge.In order to verify the rationality of the above analysis,the finite element analysis of the bridge frame was carried out,and the results are consistent with the above conclusions.Through the forced vibration test and hammer test of the fan bridge,it is found that the maximum frequency value of the vibration of the fan bridge caused by eccentric mass is far away from the natural vibration frequency of the fan bridge,and will not cause the resonance phenomenon of the fan bridge.Therefore,the vibration of the fan bridge caused by eccentric mass is only related to the static stiffness of the fan bridge.The test results will provide a basis for the design of beam bridge and the avoidance of vibration caused by fan eccentricity.…”

Transversal Movements between Gender and Environment: Interdisciplinarity in Higher Education by Kajsa Widegren

“…In these contexts, gender and environment were articulated within a frame of meta-theoretical accounts of disciplinary power, scrutinizing categorizations and conceptualizations in, for example, Natural Sciences. In the courses taught in other disciplines, gender was merely a perspective on the core concepts of, for example, developmental studies and relied more on empiricist notions of gender as a preconceived category.…”
