A novel Mutein of TNFα Containing the Arg-Gly-Asp Sequence Shows Reduced Toxicity in Intestine by H. Shikama, K. Miyata, N. Sakae, K. Kuroda, K. Nishimura, S. Yotsuya, M. Kato

“…The expression of the cell adhesion molecules including endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 or intercellular adhesion molecule-1 on F4168- stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial ceils was significantly lower than that stimulated with TNFα. These results suggest that the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence introduced into the TNFα molecule abrogates the side effect of this cytokine such as tissue injury or shock, and that F4168 could be useful for systemic therapy.…”

STRESS AND ANXIETY IN ROMANIAN COVID-19 PATIENTS: THE ROLE OF ALCOHOL, SMOKING, AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC by Ioana Silistraru, Radu Petru Soroceanu, Radu Gheorghe Grigore, Mihaela Moscalu, Anisia-Iuliana Alexa, Ioan-Adrian Ciureanu

“…Study results suggest that in the COVID-19 positive group, alcohol consumption was associated with higher perceived stress, while smoking was associated with lower stress scores. In both groups anxiety levels predicted a high perceived stress, suggesting that high levels of anxiety were pervasive during the pandemic. …”

Single-Path High-Resolution Digital PWM Architectures With Cascadability of Delay Lines by Marziyeh Hajiheidari, Joel Fushekati, Mohammad Emad, Bas J. D. Vermulst, Jeroen van Duivenbode, Henk Huisman

“…The proposed cascaded architecture can be used to increase the DPWM resolution without raising the system clock frequency or, alternatively, to reduce the FPGA system clock frequency (relaxing timing challenges) without lowering the resolution. Both architectures have been implemented and verified using a mid-range Artix-7 FPGA with both triangular and sawtooth carriers. …”

Does administrative divisions adjustment affect polluting industries dependence? Evidence from township-town merge in China by Xiaodan Zheng, Shangpu Li, Junwen Li, Yihong Sun

“…Evidence also highlights a notable boundary effect of TTM, though its impact is minimal in districts/counties at provincial borders due to their potentially lower public investment inclination. TTM also increases the decentralization level of districts/counties, thus explaining the increase in local government’s dependence on polluting industries. …”
