Reduced NLRP3 Gene Expression Limits the IL-1β Cleavage via Inflammasome in Monocytes from Severely Injured Trauma Patients by Shinwan Kany, Johann-Philipp Horstmann, Ramona Sturm, Katharina Mörs, Borna Relja

“…This study demonstrates that CD14+ monocytes from TP are significantly diminished in their function and that the presence of NLRP3 components is necessary in recovering the ability of monocytes to produce active IL-1β. This recovery of the NLRP3 inflammasome in monocytes may imply a new target for treatment and therapy of immune suppression after severe injury.…”

Rheological Properties of Cement Pastes with Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes by Gintautas Skripkiunas, Ekaterina Karpova, Irmantas Barauskas, Joana Bendoraitiene, Grigory Yakovlev

“…The combined modification by PCE and MWCNT dispersion shows the decrease in plastic viscosity of cement pastes by 9.90% in dosage of MWCNT equal to 0.5% by weight of cement, reduction of water demand by 20% for the same workability, and decrease of yield stress till 0 Pa. It gives the ability to obtain the self-compacting mixtures. The cement pastes with and without MWCNT dispersion revealed the shear-thinning behavior during 120 min after mixing. …”

Optimal Control Strategy of Platform Load Oriented to Network and Load Cooperation by Xuesong Shao, Gaoying Cui, Xiao Chen, Xinrong Ji, Yongxian Yi

“…Based on the uncertainty and mathematical characterization method of the active response of flexible loads, the optimal combination control strategy of demand response resources was proposed to eliminate the problems of heavy load and overload of regional power grid equipment by using the active response ability of flexible loads. Finally, the IEEE 14-node system is selected for simulation verification, which provides a theoretical basis for alleviating the power grid operation pressure in the peak load period of the power grid in the urban core area, improving the safety and economic operation level of regional power grid dispatching and the utilization rate of power grid equipment assets.…”
