Rev-Erb modulates retinal visual processing and behavioral responses to light

2016

International audience; The circadian clock is thought to adjust retinal sensitivity to ambient light levels, yet the involvement of specific clock genes is poorly understood. We explored the potential role of the nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group D, member 1 (REV-ERB; or NR1D1) in this respect. In light-evoked behavioral tests, compared with wild-type littermates, Rev-Erb(-/-) mice showed enhanced negative masking at low light levels (0.1 lx). Rev-Erb(-/-) mouse retinas displayed significantly higher numbers of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs; 62% more compared with wild-type) and more intense melanopsin immunostaining of individual ipRGCs. In agreement with a…

Neuronal cell cycle: the neuron itself and its circumstances.

2015

Neurons are usually regarded as postmitotic cells that undergo apoptosis in response to cell cycle reactivation. Nevertheless, recent evidence indicates the existence of a defined developmental program that induces DNA replication in specific populations of neurons, which remain in a tetraploid state for the rest of their adult life. Similarly, de novo neuronal tetraploidization has also been described in the adult brain as an early hallmark of neurodegeneration. The aim of this review is to integrate these recent developments in the context of cell cycle regulation and apoptotic cell death in neurons. We conclude that a variety of mechanisms exists in neuronal cells for G1/S and G2/M check…

Joint Resource Allocation and UAV Scheduling With Ground Radio Station Sleeping

2021

Applications of Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have advanced rapidly in recent years. The UAVs are used for a variety of applications, including surveillance, disaster management, precision agriculture, weather forecasting, etc. In near future, the growing number of UAV applications would necessitate densification of UAV infrastructure (ground radio station (GRS) and ground control station (GCS)) at the expense of increased energy consumption for UAV communications. Maximizing the energy efficiency of this UAV infrastructure is important. Motivated by this, we propose joint resource allocation and UAV scheduling with GRS sleeping (GRSS). Further, we propose the use of coordinated multi-poi…

Sejas un žokļu traumas Paula Stradiņa Klīniskajā Universitātes slimnīcā

2020

Sejas un žokļu traumu ietekme uz hospitalizācijas ilgumu un neiroloģisko simptomātiku Paula Stradiņā Klīniskajā Universitātes slimnīcā. Viena no plašākajām traumu kategorijām, kas tieši pieder pie jebkuras valsts galvenajām sociālekonomiskajām problēmām un skar visus pasaules iedzīvotāju slāņus, un ir galvaskausa, sejas un apakšžokļu traumas. Sejas traumas ir bieži izplatītas, jo seja ir visatklātākā un neaizsargātākā ķermeņa daļa ar nelielu aizsargpārklājumu. Mutes dobuma un augšžokļa sejas traumas, papildus sejas estētikai, ietekmē tādas funkcijas kā elpošana, košļāšanas, rīšanas un runas funkcijas. Darba mērķi: noskaidrot FISS skalas ietekmi uz pareģojošo pacientu hospitalizācijas ilgumu…

G-CSF (filgrastim) treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: protocol for a phase II randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group,…

2020

IntroductionAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal progressive neurological disorder characterised by a selective degeneration of motor neurons (MNs). Stem cell transplantation is considered as a promising strategy in neurological disorders therapy and the possibility of inducing bone marrow cells (BMCs) to circulate in the peripheral blood is suggested to investigate stem cells migration in degenerated ALS nerve tissues where potentially repair MN damage. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a growth factor which stimulates haematopoietic progenitor cells, mobilises BMCs into injured brain and it is itself a neurotrophic factor for MN. G-CSF safety in humans has been de…

Erle-copter Simulation using ROS and Gazebo

2020

The recent decrease in the price as well as size of semi-conductor logic and due to significant advancements in technologies such as microcontrollers, motors and sensors, the application of quadcopters in several fields has been achieved. However, testing of quadcopter prototypes still has a risk of damage due to faults and unexpected behavior. Hence, a method of testing of quadcopters in simulation mimicking the actual conditions of the real environment in an actual hardware test has been proposed. For this purpose, Gazebo simulator integrated with ROS has been chosen for the simulation of the path of the quadcopter. Moreover, the software Matlab/Simulink has been interfaced with Gazebo in…

Immateriaalioikeuksien esiintyminen SIGCSE-konferenssien julkaisuissa

2017

Immateriaalioikeuksiin liittyvien sääntöjen ja haasteiden kohtaaminen on arkipäiväistynyt opetuksessa. Opiskelijat saavat suurimman osan valmiuksistaan immateriaalioikeuksien noudattamiseen ja ammatillisuuteen koulutuksestaan. Immateriaalioikeustietämys on nostanut merkitystään erityisesti tietotekniikan ammattilaisten vaatimuksena. Aihe on ajankohtainen ja opetussuunnitelmassa usein vähäiselle huomiolle jäävä. Opetuksen kehityksen suunta on opiskelijoiden omaa luovuutta tukevien ympäristöjen tehokkaampi hyödyntäminen, mutta niiden käyttö usein edellyttää aiempaa parempaa immateriaalioikeustietämystä. Tässä työssä selvitettiin, miten paljon ja millä tavoin immateriaalioikeuksia koskevat asi…

Évaluation de la réserve en eau à l'échelle des pédopaysages de Bourgogne

2009

National audience; L'étude porte sur l'adaptation au changement climatique en Bourgogne. Elle vise à définir la sensibilité de la ressource en eau des territoires Bourguignons à ces évolutions climatiques et à en estimer les incidences par secteurs géographiques et d'activité. Ce projet pluri-disciplaire a été mis en place par Alterre Bourgogne dont la tache a été de fédérer un réseau d'acteurs régionaux aux compétences variées : climatologie, pédologie et hydrologie. La première étape, présentée ici, a consisté à estimer la capacité des sols à stocker de l'eau, c'est-à-dire à calculer la taille de leur réserve utile. Ces calculs ont été réalisés à partir du référentiel pédologique de Bourg…
