Influence of Test Protocol on Filtration Efficiency of Medical Face Mask Material by Aurélie Joubert, Ala Bouhanguel, Yves Andrès, Laurence Le Coq

“…Several polydisperse test aerosols were used - DEHS, alumina, HOLI, NaCl, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Emesvirus zinderi (MS2) - produced by liquid atomization and/or powder dispersion, and sized by optical and aerodynamic counters or cascade impactors. The results have shown that the particle size distribution and charges for a given type of aerosol can differ depending on the generator used, in particular the wet or dry nature of generation. …”

Dioscin pretreatment ameliorates ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction via inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress by Chang Wu, Xueping Shen, Pan Lou, Dongyan Song

“…Moreover, Dioscin exerted its protective effects by inhibiting ER stress markers, such as the phosphorylation levels of PERK and eIF2α proteins, and the expression levels of BIP and ATF4 proteins, thus disrupting the ER stress-mediated signaling cascade associated with ferroptosis. Conclusion Overall, our findings suggested that Dioscin holds promise as a therapeutic agent against post-MI cardiac injury by mitigating ferroptosis via the suppression of ER stress. …”

Tearing-mediated Alfvénic Turbulence in a Relativistic Plasma by Stanislav Boldyrev, Nuno F. Loureiro

“…If the opposite inequality holds, the Alfvénic cascade is instead affected by charge starvation at scales below ${a}_{\mathrm{ch}}\sim {d}_{\mathrm{rel}}{\left({d}_{\mathrm{rel}}/{L}_{\perp }\right)}^{1/3}{\tilde{\sigma }}^{2/3}$ , and the energy spectrum becomes steeper than W ( k ) dk ∝ k ^−3 dk . …”

The Discriminative Lexicon: A Unified Computational Model for the Lexicon and Lexical Processing in Comprehension and Production Grounded Not in (De)Composition but in Linear Discr... by R. Harald Baayen, Yu-Ying Chuang, Elnaz Shafaei-Bajestan, James P. Blevins

“…The discriminative lexicon also incorporates the insight from machine learning that end-to-end modeling is much more effective than working with a cascade of models targeting individual subtasks. The computational engine at the heart of the discriminative lexicon is linear discriminative learning: simple linear networks are used for mapping form onto meaning and meaning onto form, without requiring the hierarchies of post-Bloomfieldian ‘hidden’ constructs such as phonemes, morphemes, and stems. …”

In vitro Release of Eosinophil Proteins in Allergic and Atopic Dermatitis Patients by L. K. Poulsen, C. M. Reimert, C. Bindslev-Jensen

“…To investigate whether eosinophils are stimulated in vivo or have acquired an increased susceptibility to stimuli from the coagulation cascade, the release of eosinophil proteins was compared for three groups of donors with different levels of serum IgE. (1) with atopic dermatitis (s-IgE > 5000 IU/ml, n = 11); (2) with inhalant allergy (200 < s-IgE < 2 000 IU/ml, n = 10); and (3) non-allergic (s- IgE < 100 IU/ml, n = 10). …”
