Abstract:
Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by deterioration of articular cartilage functions. Previous studies have confirmed the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in OA, but the role of mechanical stress–related circRNA (circRNA-MSR) in OA is unknown. Design The human chondrocytes C28/I2 were cultured and treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish the OA model. The mRNA and protein levels were measured by qRT-PCR or Western blot. Cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was carried out to detect cell apoptosis. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β

Abstract:
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging biomedical imaging modality, offering numerous advantages, including high resolution and high contrast. In its application to brain imaging, however, the photoacoustic (PA) signals from brain tissue weaken considerably due to the distortion effects of the skull. This attenuation reduces the resolution and contrast significantly. To address this issue, here we describe a Log-MSR algorithm that combines the logarithmic depth logarithmic enhancement (Log) algorithm and the multi-scale Retinex (MSR) algorithm. In this method, the Log algorithm performs lo

Narcissistic personality disorder is a heterogeneous and complex pathology which manifests itself very differently in individuals. The aim of the present study was to analyze differences and similarities in morality and sensitivity to feelings of guilt among grandiose narcissism (GN), vulnerable narcissism (VN), and malignant self-regard (MSR). We expected that MSR and VN would be most sensitive to deontological and altruistic guilt, and that MSR and VN would have higher levels of moral standards than GN.

Abstract:
Animals respond to stress by activating a wide array of physiological and behavioral responses that are collectively referred to as the stress response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs that play key roles in the regulation of homeostasis. There are many reports demonstrating examples of stress-induced miRNA expression profiles. The aim of this study was to determine the circulatory miRNA profile of variable stress-responding lambs (n = 112) categorized based on their cortisol levels as high (HSR, 336.2 ± 27.9 nmol/L), middle (MSR, 147.3 ±9.5 nmol/L), and low (LSR, 32.1 ± 10.4 nmol

Abstract:
Remote passive sonar detection with low-frequency band spectral lines has attracted much attention, while complex low-frequency non-Gaussian impulsive noisy environments would strongly affect the detection performance. This is a challenging problem in weak signal detection, especially for the high false alarm rate caused by heavy-tailed impulsive noise. In this paper, a novel matched stochastic resonance (MSR)-based weak signal detection model is established, and two MSR-based detectors named MSR-PED and MSR-PSNR are proposed based on a theoretical analysis of the MSR output response.

Melt spun ribbons (MSR) of the Ni55Fe20Al25 alloy exhibit a first-order martensitic transition (MT) in the vicinity of a second-order ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic phase transition. Contrasted with a sharp, complete and thermoelastic MT in MSR, a partial, sluggish and non-thermoelastic MT occurs in annealed Ni55Fe20Al25 alloy that possesses a much higher degree of atomic order. However, the annealed samples have stronger local magnetocrystalline anisotropy and higher Curie temperature (TC) than MSR. Negative magnetoresistance, || / , is two times larger in MSR than in the annealed case. |

ABSTRACT A laboratory strain of Drosophila pseudoobscura (L116) is studied that, when crossed to sex-ratio homozygous females, produces sons that exhibit varying levels of the male sex-ratio (msr) phenotype. The msr phenotype occurs only in sex-ratio males and is due to the production of a high frequency of nullo-XY sperm. The level of the msr phenotype is variable, and new variability is generated in one father-son transmission. Pedigree studies indicate the genes for msr reside on the Y chromosome or the autosomes of the L116 stock.

Accurately predicting driving behavior can help to avoid potential improper maneuvers of human drivers, thus guaranteeing safe driving for intelligent vehicles. In this paper, we propose a novel deep belief network (DBN), called MSR-DBN, by integrating a multi-target sigmoid regression (MSR) layer with DBN to predict the front wheel angle and speed of the ego vehicle. Precisely, the MSR-DBN consists of two sub-networks: one is for the front wheel angle, and the other one is for speed. This MSR-DBN model allows ones to optimize lateral and longitudinal behavior predictions through a systematic

Methanol steam reforming (MSR) reactor is a device that converts the methanol into hydrogen. Since the MSR is an endothermic reaction, the methanol conversion is usually affected by the heating conditions. So, to improve the methanol conversion, the heating condition should be managed. This study aims to present a framework and methodology for studying the thermal management of a determined MSR reactor by controlling the heating conditions. Firstly, the characteristics of a three-dimensional MSR reactor are carried out, and the effects of the inlet condition parameters e.g. heating parameters
