Abstract:
AbstractDendritic cells (DCs) are a family of leukocytes that initiate T- and B-cell immunity against pathogens. Migration of antigen-loaded DCs from sites of infection into draining lymphoid tissues is fundamental to the priming of T-cell immune responses. In humans, the major peripheral blood DC (PBDC) types, CD1c+ DCs and interleukin 3 receptor–positive (IL-3R+) plasmacytoid DCs, are significantly expanded in vivo with the use of Flt3 ligand (FL). DC-like cells can also be generated from monocyte precursors (MoDCs). A detailed comparison of the functional potential of these types of DCs (in

Background. Multivoxel pattern analysis has provided new evidence on somatotopic representation in the human brain. However, the effects of stimulus modality (e.g., penetrating needle versus non-penetrating touch) and level of classification (e.g., multiclass versus binary classification) on patterns of brain activity encoding spatial information of body parts have not yet been studied. We hypothesized that performance of brain-based prediction models may vary across the types of stimuli, and neural patterns of voxels in the SI and parietal cortex would significantly contribute to the predicti

Full text
Abstract:
Some neurons throughout the animal kingdom respond to an intracellular current injection or to an appropriate sensory stimulus with a stereotypical sequence of two to five fast spikes riding upon a slow depolarizing envelope. The entire event, termed a burst, is over within 10-40 msec and is usually terminated by a profound afterhyperpolarization (ΑΗΡ). Such bursting cells are not a random feature of a certain fraction of all cells but can be identified with specific neuronal subpopulations. What are the mechanisms generating this intrinsic firing pattern and what is its meaning? Bursting cells can easily be distinguished from a cell firing at a high maintained frequency by the fact that bursts will persist even at a low firing frequency. As illustrated by the thalamic relay cell of Fig. 9.4, some cells can switch between a mode in which they predominantly respond to stimuli via single, isolated spikes and one in which bursts are common. Because we believe that bursting constitutes a special manner of signaling important information, we devote a single, albeit small chapter to this topic. In the following, we describe a unique class of cells that frequently signal with bursts, and we touch upon the possible biophysical mechanisms that give rise to bursting. We finish this excursion by focussing on a functional study of bursting cells in the electric fish and speculate about the functional relevance of burst firing. Neocortical cells are frequently classified according to their response to sustained current injections. While these distinctions are not all or none, there is broad agreement for three classes: regular spiking, fast spiking, and intrinsically bursting neurons (Connors, Gutnick, and Prince, 1982; McCormick et al., 1985; Connors and Gutnick, 1990; Agmon and Connors, 1992; Baranyi, Szente, and Woody, 1993; Nuńez, Amzica, and Steriade, 1993; Gutnick and Crill, 1995; Gray and McCormick, 1996). Additional cell classes have been identified (e.g., the chattering cells that fire bursts of spikes with interburst intervals ranging from 15 to 50 msec; Gray and McCormick, 1996), but whether or not they occur widely has not yet been settled. The cells of interest to us are the intrinsically bursting cells.

Abstract:
Social insect nest architectures can be complex, intricate structures. Stigmergy (see section 1.2.3), that is, the coordination of activities through the environment, is an important mechanism underlying nest construction in social insects. Two types of stigmergy are distinguished: quantitative, or continuous stigmergy, in which the different stimuli that trigger behavior are quantitatively different; and qualitative, or discrete stigmergy, in which stimuli can be classified into different classes that differ qualitatively. If quantitative stigmergy can explain the emergence of pillars in termites, the building behavior of the paper wasps Polistes dominulus seems to be better described by qualitative stigmergy. In this chapter, a simple agent-based model inspired by discrete stigmergy is introduced. In the model, agents move in a three-dimensional grid and drop elementary building blocks depending on the configuration of blocks in their neighborhood. From the viewpoint of bricks, this model is a model of self-assembly. The model generates a large proportion of random or space-filling forms, but some patterns appear to be structured. Some of the patterns even look like wasp nests. The properties of the structured shapes obtained with the model, and of the algorithms that generate them, are reviewed. Based on these properties, a fitness function is constructed so that structured architectures have a large fitness and unstructured patterns a small fitness. A genetic algorithm based on the fitness function is used to explore the space of architectures. Several examples of self-assembling systems in robotics, engineering, and architecture are described. Self-assembling or self-reconfigurable robotic systems, although they are not directly inspired by nest construction in social insects, could benefit from the discrete-stigmergy model of nest building. The method of evolutionary design, that is, the creation of new designs by computers using evolutionary algorithms, is a promising way of exploring the patterns that self-assembling models can produce. Many animals can produce very complex architectures that fulfill numerous functional and adaptive requirements (protection from predators, substrate of social life and reproductive activities, thermal regulation, etc.).

Abstract:
Self-healing materials (SHM’s) is an emerging class of smart materials, which are capable of autonomous or spontaneous repair of their damage under external stimuli, such as heat, light, and solvent, to the original or near original functionalities much like the biological organisms. The emergence of self-healing in metallic materials presents an exciting paradigm for an ideal combination of metallic and biological properties. The driving force behind this effort is to decrease the consequences of accidents, reduction of cost and extending the service life of metallic components. While previous reviews have focused on self-healing in polymers, composite, concrete and cementous materials, and ceramic, discussions about self-healing in metallic materials remains scarce and the survey of literatures suggests Ti-based self-healing materials known to be biocompatible in human body is rare. The present chapter examines the art of self-healing in titanium-based alloys with the scope to provide an overview of recent advancements and to highlight current problems and perspectives with respect to potential application.

Full text
Abstract:
Conventionally, textiles are known to cover up the human skin, but by scientific administration, clothing can be extended to serve other human skins’ functions. Accepting the chemical and dermatological complexity of human skin, the effect of humidity, microbes, pH, temperature, and wind can be engineered by wrapping it by functional clothing. In this regard, the latest class of textile material has been added called functional textiles. Such clothing materials consist of the potential of delivering more than one functionality apart from its primary function to coverups the human body. This present chapter offers state-of-the-art viewpoints on the application of functional textiles, including assorted concerns. First, the skin responds to various environmental stimuli and then overviews various techniques to incorporate functionalities in textiles. Finally, the applications and future scope and possibilities of research in this field are included in this chapter. Miniaturisation to small micro to nanometre scale is registered as one of the most exciting meadows in engineering and science over the past few decades. This drift also grasps colossal potential to functionalise the textiles. Various techniques are available now to develop a thin uniform film of functional materials on clothing surface to offer extra functionalities hitherto unrevealed to textile processors. These technologies are based on layer-by-layer assembling, immobilisation of enzymes on textile surfaces, nanocoating of textile substances, plasma for nanoscale modifications, and loading of various functional biomaterials micro and nanoencapsulation by minimum influence on breathability, feel, handle, and strength. The manufacturing of functional textiles can be classified into two groups. One is to functionalise the fibre by adding dope additives, modifying the fibre forming polymer, and then converting it to clothing. The fibre surface is also functionalised by adding some resins on the fibre surface. The other is to modify the textile surfaces by functional biomaterials, resins, finishes.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter takes the perspective that ‘working memory’ refers to a class of behaviours that can be accomplished by the coordinated recruitment of sensory-, representational-, action-, and control-related mechanisms and representations. There is no working memory system, per se. This idea is illustrated with findings from cognitive neuroscience, with an emphasis on studies of human working memory with functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography, and on simulations of human behaviour with recurrent neural network modelling. Understanding principles of attention and oculomotor control are central to understanding the selection of stimulus information and its retention ‘in’ working memory, as well as for the moment-to-moment prioritization of subsets of the contents of working memory. Recent research from a dynamical systems perspective suggests a principled framework for understanding how, and under what circumstances, knowledge from long-term memory is recruited to support working memory performance. An important challenge for contemporary cognitive neuroscience is to develop an accepted procedure for assessing when multiple regions can be shown to represent stimulus-specific information, whether these regions are all supporting the same function, or perhaps different functions that nonetheless all entail the active representation of the same information.

Abstract:
Ferroelectric ceramic is one of the most important functional materials, which has great importance in modern technologies. A ferroelectric ceramic simultaneously exhibits dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and pyroelectric properties. The inherent ferroelectric properties are directly related to long-range electric dipoles arrangement in the ferroelectric domains and its response to external stimuli. However, the interruption of the long-range ordering of dipoles leads to the formation of a special class of material is known as relaxor ferroelectric. It shows quite different physical properties as compared to ferroelectric (normal ferroelectric). The origin and design of relaxor ferroelectric are quite interesting for fundamental perspective along with device applications. Therefore, the origin of relaxor ferroelectric along with its fundamental understanding for possible future applications, have been explained briefly in the present chapter.

Abstract:
Concomitant with the explosive development and progress made in the field of molecular biology, initiated by development and proof of the double helix structure of DNA some 40 years ago, there has been a much more subdued, but equally exciting and important, development in the area of signal transduction (Nishizuka, 1992; Berridge, 1984; Exton, 1990). What makes the latter subject so enchanting to biochemists is the finding that membrane phospholipids are intimately involved in the transduction process. Interestingly, the potential role of phospholipids in the signal transduction pathway was formulated some 40 years ago also. (Perhaps all great discoveries occur in 40 year cycles.) In any event the first hint of any possible involvement of phospholipids in cellular stimulus responses was gained from the work of Hokin and Hokin, which first appeared in 1953. In this classic paper, these investigators reported that treatment of pigeon pancreas slices with acetylcholine or carbamylcholine (cholinergic drugs) resulted not only in the secretion of amylases but also in the turnover of two specific membrane phospholipids, namely, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidic acid. While the entire process of stimulus response in a mammalian cell is now much more complicated, nevertheless the findings by Hokin and Hokin were of major importance in the maturation of this field. Unfortunately, the impact of the Hokins’ observations was not immmediately felt. At that point in time, phospholipids were viewed mainly as semipermeable membrane structures whose main function was to regulate the ion content of the cell. In addition, another deterrent was the limited information on the chemical structure of the mammalian cell phospholipids. Hence there was a hiatus of many years in which low-profile lipid chemists and biochemists labored to solve the chemical nature of membrane lipids and to deduce their physical arrangement in the cell. Then in 1975, Michell published a key paper (Michell, 1975) in which he noted the importance of the inositol-containing phospholipids in the membrane process known as calcium gating. This paper initiated what can be called the “PI” era, which is still very much alive and well today.

Abstract:
In future applications, materials will need to extend beyond that of the bulk response or even simple engineered behavior. This paper attempts to articulate an integrated vision and even push it further to the next realm of materials defined here as Nexus materials, the synergistic connection that weaves it all together. The applications in mind will demand complex functionality such as higher order actuation across surfaces/volumes, distributed conformal sensing, and full-spectrum instantaneous color change. Looking beyond the horizon, the level of complexity needs to be raised to radical sta

Abstract:
A general class of car-following models is analyzed where the longitudinal acceleration of a vehicle is determined by a nonlinear function of the distance to the vehicle in front, their velocity difference, and the vehicle’s own velocity. The driver’s response to these stimuli includes the driver reaction time that appears as a time delay in governing differential equations. The linear stability of the uniform flow is analyzed for human-driven and computer-controlled (robotic) vehicles. It is shown that the stability conditions are equivalent when considering ring-road and platoon configuratio

Abstract:
Presented is a multiscale modeling method applied to light activated shape memory polymers (LASMP). LASMP are a new class of shape memory polymer (SMP) being developed for applications where a thermal stimulus is undesired. Rotational Isomeric State (RIS) theory is used to build a molecular scale model of the polymer chain yielding a list of distances between the predicted cross-link locations, or r-values. The r-values are then fit with Johnson probability density functions and used with Boltzmann statistical mechanics to predict stress as a function of strain of the phantom network. Junction

Abstract:
The long-term vision of our work is to create a new class of smart material that utilizes networks of active, synthetic cell membranes for sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting. Having multiple membrane structures is specifically targeted because a higher density of functional membranes is expected to enable amplification and collective utility, similar to how living tissues and organisms utilize networks of highly connected cells to accomplish large tasks. While there are several known methods for assembling droplet-based networks of synthetic lipid bilayers, there has been much less effo

Abstract:
The transport of charge due to electric stimulus is the primary mechanism of actuation for a class of polymeric active materials known as ionomeric polymer transducers. Continuum-based models of ion transport have been developed for the purpose of understanding charge transport due to diffusion and migration. In this work a two dimensional ion hopping model has been built to describe ion transport in ionomeric polymer transducer (IPT) with Monte-Carlo simulation. In the simulation, cations are distributed on 50nm × 50nm × 1nm (or 50nm × 10 nm × 1nm) lattice cells of IPT while the same number o
