This paper proposes a three-dimensional (3D) non- stationary fixed-to-fixed indoor channel simulator model for human activity recognition. The channel model enables the formulation of temporal variations of the received signal caused by a moving human. The moving human is modelled by …

A non-stationary relay-based 3D MIMO channel model with time-variant path gains for human activity recognition in indoor environments

2021

AbstractExtensive research showed that the physiological response of human tissue to exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields is the induction of an electric current in the body segments. As a result, each segment of the human body behaves as a relay, which retransmits the radio-frequency (RF) signal. To investigate the impact of this phenomenon on the Doppler characteristics of the received RF signal, we introduce a new three-dimensional (3D) non-stationary channel model to describe the propagation phenomenon taking place in an indoor environment. Here, the indoor space is equipped with a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. A single person is moving in the indoor space an…

Incidence de l’endophtalmie aiguë postopératoire après chirurgie de la cataracte par phacoémulsification et injection intracamérulaire d’antibiotique…

2016

National audience; Introduction La chirurgie de la cataracte est l’intervention la plus fréquente dans le monde. Parmi ses complications, l’endophtalmie aiguë postopératoire (EAPO) est une infection intraoculaire sévère, qui peut conduire à la cécité. Les objectifs étaient de déterminer l’incidence de l’EAPO après chirurgie de la cataracte par phacoémulsification en France de 2005 à 2014 et d’analyser l’association entre injection intracamérulaire d’antibiotique (IICA) et EAPO. Méthodes Tous les patients hospitalisés pour une chirurgie de la cataracte en France entre le 1er janvier 2005 et le 31 décembre 2014 ont été identifiés dans le programme de médicalisation des systèmes d’information …

Photoexcitation of the P4480 State Induces a Secondary Photocycle That Potentially Desensitizes Channelrhodopsin-2

2018

Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are light-gated cation channels. In spite of their wide use to activate neurons with light, the photocurrents of ChRs rapidly decay in intensity under both continuous illum...

Phospholipase activities associated with the tonoplast from Acer pseudoplatanus cells: identification of a phospholipase A1 activity

1995

In higher plants, the lipolytic enzymes and their physiological functions are not well characterized [1]. Most reports demonstrated that phospholipid catabolism in plants is achieved by the concerted actions of membrane-bound enzymes including phospholipase D, phosphatidate phosphatase, lipolytic acyl hydrolases and lipoxygenases [1,2]. With the exception of the phospholipase D, the literature on plant phospholipases is still very limited. We previously reported that tonoplast from Acer pseudoplatanus cells contains small amounts of phosphatidc acid and lysophospholipids, which were produced together with free fatty acids, particularly after addition of Ca2+[3]. These data suggested the pos…

Lepidopteran species have a variety of defence strategies against bacterial infections

2017

The insect immune system has versatile ways of coping with microbial insults. Currently, innate immune priming has been described in several invertebrates, and the first insights into its mechanistic basis have been described. Here we studied infections with two different strains of Serratia marcescens bacteria in two different Lepidopteran hosts. The results reveal fundamental differences between the two hosts, a well-known model organism Galleria mellonella and a non-model species Arctia plantaginis. They differ in their strategies for resisting oral infections; priming their defences against a recurring sepsis; and upregulating immunity related genes as a response to the specific pathoge…

AMPA receptor complex constituents: Control of receptor assembly, membrane trafficking and subcellular localization

2018

Fast excitatory transmission at synapses of the central nervous system is mainly mediated by AMPA receptors (AMPARs). Synaptic AMPAR number and function correlates with synaptic strength. AMPARs are thus key proteins of activity-dependent plasticity in neuronal communication. Up- or down-regulation of synaptic AMPAR number is a tightly controlled dynamic process that involves export of receptors from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus, exocytosis and endocytosis as well as lateral diffusion of the receptors in the cell membrane. The four AMPAR subunits are embedded into a dynamic network of more than 30 interacting proteins. Many of these proteins are known to modulate recep…

Repurposing of Bromocriptine for Cancer Therapy

2018

Bromocriptine is an ergot alkaloid and dopamine D2 receptor agonist used to treat Parkinson’s disease, acromegaly, hyperprolactinemia, and galactorrhea, and more recently diabetes mellitus. The drug is also active against pituitary hormone-dependent tumors (prolactinomas and growth-hormone producing adenomas). We investigated, whether bromocriptine also inhibits hormone-independent and multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumors. We found that bromocriptine was cytotoxic towards drug-sensitive CCRF-CEM, multidrug-resistant CEM/ADR5000 leukemic cells as well as wild-type or multidrug-resistant ABCB5-transfected HEK293 cell lines, but not sensitive or BCRP-transfected multidrug-resistant MDA-MB-231 brea…
