Tissue engineered corneal endothelium transplantation in an ex vivo human cornea organ culture model by Meng-Chen Tsai, Alvena Kureshi, Julie T. Daniels

“…The results showed that PCECs formed a high-density monolayer on RAFT expressing endothelial cell markers, ZO-1, Na/K ATPase and N-cadherin. More importantly, the cell-seeded RAFT transplantation successfully restored corneal endothelium function, drawing the thickness of endothelium-wounded cornea back to normal in two weeks of the ex vivo human cornea organ culture.…”

Saturation Characteristics of Multi‐Band EMIC Waves in the Inner Magnetosphere and Observational Evidence for the Second Saturation Process by Zuxiang Xue, Zhigang Yuan, Dan Deng, Xiongdong Yu

“…Previous numerical studies mainly focused on the evolution of total wave energy/amplitude, whose maximum is usually modeled as a function of initial conditions. Recent quasilinear theory analysis shows existence of a second saturation of multi‐band EMIC waves which exhibits a dip of the total amplitude, emphasizing the need for more precise band‐specific models. …”

Investigation of The Relationship Between Athletes’ Psychological Resilience, Emotional Reactivity, Psychological Maladjustment and Trait Anger Control by Murat Ozan, Ismail Secer

“…In line with the findings, although emotional reactivity in athletes exerts pressure on psychological maladjustment (depression, anxiety, and stress), psychological resilience has a protective function. It can be said that athletes with high psychological resilience may be in a more positive position in terms of showing trait anger and psychological maladjustment, whereas athletes with low psychological resilience may be in a disadvantageous position. …”

Nonlinear Model for Condition Monitoring and Fault Detection Based on Nonlocal Kernel Orthogonal Preserving Embedding by Bo She, Fuqing Tian, Weige Liang, Gang Zhang

“…Different from kernel orthogonal neighborhood preserving embedding (KONPE) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), the NLOPE and NLKOPE models aim at preserving global and local data structures simultaneously by constructing a dual-objective optimization function. In order to adjust the trade-off between global and local data structures, a weighted parameter is introduced to balance the objective function. …”
