The transcriptome qualities of vestibular organs through postponed endolymphatic hydrops patients (Meniere's ailment).
However, such noticeable changes in peak widths with pressure were not observed in Ho3Co. At ambient pressure, peak of -ΔSM(-ΔSMpk) scales with (H/TN)2/3for both the compounds, consistent with the prediction of mean field theory (MFT) for second order magnetic transition. However, deviation from MFT was noticed at high pressures as -ΔSMpkwas found to scale with (H/TN)3/4instead of (H/TN)2/3for both the alloys. Further, normalised -ΔSMcurves for different ΔH and pressures collapse on a single universal curve in both the compounds thereby indicating that the second order magnetic transition persists even up to ∼1 GPa pressure. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.Green-emitting water-soluble amino-ketoenole dye AmyGreen is proposed as an efficient fluorescent stain for visualization of bacterial amyloids in biofilms and the detection of pathological amyloids in vitro. Autophagy inhibitor This dye is almost non-fluorescent in solution, displays strong green emission in the presence of amyloid fibril of proteins. AmyGreen is also weakly fluorescent in presence to biomolecules that are components of cells, extracellular matrix or medium nucleic acids, polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins. Thus, the luminescence turn-on behavior of AmyGreen can be utilized for visualization of amyloid components of bacterial biofilm extracellular matrix. Herein we report the application of AmyGreen for fluorescent staining of a number of amyloid-contained bacteria biofilms produced by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bordetella avium, and Staphylococcus aureus. The effectiveness of AmyGreen was compared to traditional amyloid sensitive dye Thioflavine T. The main advantage ofnfocal and fluorescence microscopy analysis. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.Cellulose-based nanofiber membrane fabrication remains a global challenge, especially on the use of alternative and sustainable sources of cellulosic materials. Herein, an easy and highly scalable cellulose-based nanofiber membrane was successfully fabricated using solution blow spinning (SBS) method. Such membrane fabrication was carried out with the assistance of an easy-to-spun precursor polymer (i.e., polyacrylonitrile (PAN)). Through this strategy, Cellulose acetate (CA) was successfully spun into a ready-to-use membrane. The formation of CA with PAN nanofiber is concentration-dependent that requires high air pressure to effectively overcome the composite precursor's surface tension and eventually produce nanofibers. Favourable CA concentration in PAN (i.e., 50 - 65 % v/v CAN/PAN) is significant to form sufficient molecular entanglement with PAN in solution. Upon fulfilling its optimized CA concentration, high air pressure (i.e., ≥ 3 bars) is used to produce jet-like polymeric fibers of PAN dragging off CA, forming numerous nanofibers and collected into a substrate forming a membrane. Further characterizations of the CA/PAN composite nanofiber were carried out through Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Such unique composite nanofiber membranes have potential as filter and adsorbent membranes for air and water/wastewater applications, as well as for biorefinery applications. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.The performance of brain-computer interface (BCI) systems is influenced by the user's mental state, such as attention diversion. In this study, we propose a novel online BCI system able to adapt with variations in the users' attention during real-time movement execution. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals were recorded from healthy participants and patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) while attention to the target task (a dorsiflexion movement) was drifted using an auditory oddball task. For each participant, the selected channels, classifiers and features from a training data set were used in the online mode to predict the attention status. For both healthy controls and patients, feedback to the user on attentional status reduced the amount of attention diversion. The findings presented here demonstrate successful monitoring of the users' attention in a fully online BCI system, and further, that real-time neurofeedback on the users' attention state can be implemented to focus the attention of the user back onto the main task. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.Brain-computer interface (BCI) has demonstrated its effectiveness in epilepsy treatment and control. In a BCI-aided epilepsy treatment system, therapic electrical stimulus is delivered in response to the prediction of upcoming seizure onsets, therefore timely and accurate seizure prediction algorithm plays an important role. However, unlike typical signatures such as slow or sharp waves in ictal periods, the signal patterns in preictal periods are usually subtle, and highly individual-dependent. How to extract effective and robust preictal features is still a challenging problem. Most recently, graph convolutional neural network (GCNN) has demonstrated the strength in the electroencephalogram (EEG) and intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) signal modeling, due to its advantages in describing complex relationships among different EEG/iEEG regions. However, current GCNN models are not suitable for seizure prediction. The effectiveness of GCNNs highly relies on prior graphs that describe the underlying relationships in EEG regions. However, due to the complex mechanism of seizure evolution, the underlying relationship in the preictal period can be diverse in different patients, making it almost impossible to build a proper prior graph in general. To deal with this problem, we propose a novel approach to automatically learn a patient-specific graph in a data-driven way, which is called the joint graph structure and representation learning network (JGRN). JGRN constructs a global-local graph convolutional neural network which jointly learns the graph structures and connection weights in a task-related learning process in iEEG signals, thus the learned graph and feature representations can be optimized toward the objective of seizure prediction. Experimental results show that our JGRN outperforms CNN and GCNN models remarkably, and the improvement is more obvious when preictal features are subtle. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
