The neural activity patterns associated with advanced cognitive processes are characterized by a high degree of collective organization, which raises the question of whether macroscopic quantum phenomena play a significant role in cortical dynamics.In order to pursue this question and scrutinize the feasibility of macroscopic quantum coherence in t
Targeting miR-497-5p rescues human keratinocyte dysfunction upon skin exposure to sulfur mustard
Abstract Sulfur mustard (SM) is a highly toxic chemical warfare agent.Exposure to SM results in various pathologies including skin lesions with subsequent impaired wound healing.To date, there are no effective treatments available.Here we discover a SM-triggered pathomechanism involving miR-497-5p and its target survivin which contributes to kerati
Nonlinear Programming-Based Robot Motion Planning for Automatic Gait Measurement of a Passing Pedestrian in Corridors
Patrol robots in hospital wards are expected not only to ensure the safety of their movements, but also to perform gait measurement as part of their monitoring functions.In this study, we present a system that enables a patrol robot to perform a 5-meter walk test (5mWT) on passing pedestrians apac1/60/1/cw in a corridor.The pedestrian’s posi
