Iron-loaded transferrin (Tf) is detrimental whereas iron-free Tf confers protection against brain ischemia by modifying blood Tf saturation and subse…
2018
Despite transferrin being the main circulating carrier of iron in body fluids, and iron overload conditions being known to worsen stroke outcome through reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage, the contribution of blood transferrin saturation (TSAT) to stroke brain damage is unknown. The objective of this study was to obtain evidence on whether TSAT determines the impact of experimental ischemic stroke on brain damage and whether iron-free transferrin (apotransferrin, ATf)-induced reduction of TSAT is neuroprotective. We found that experimental ischemic stroke promoted an early extravasation of circulating iron-loaded transferrin (holotransferrin, HTf) to the ischemic brain parenchyma.…
Studying the stability of Solvent Red 19 and 23 as excise duty components under the influence of controlled factors
2020
Abstract In this study, we examine the chemical stability of two disazo dyes, namely Solvent Red 19 and 23 (SR 19 and SR 23), under simulated conditions. Both dyes are considered to be chemically stable under normal exploitation conditions and therefore, are used extensively as excise duty components that enable a rapid visual verification of the tax levels that were imposed on fuel products as well as identifying fuel usage. However, the results from this study confirmed that the colour of the samples that had been fortified with either SR 19 or SR 23 fades under the influence of external conditions such as UV-A irradiation and temperature over time. The UV-A irradiation was the dominant f…
Optical sectioning microscopy through single-shot Lightfield protocol
2020
Optical sectioning microscopy is usually performed by means of a scanning, multi-shot procedure in combination with non-uniform illumination. In this paper, we change the paradigm and report a method that is based in the light field concept, and that provides optical sectioning for 3D microscopy images after a single-shot capture. To do this we fi rst capture multiple orthographic perspectives of the sample by means of Fourier-domain integral microscopy (FiMic). The second stage of our protocol is the application of a novel refocusing algorithm that is able to produce optical sectioning in real time, and with no resolution worsening, in the case of sparse f luorescent samples.We provide the…
The Lightfield Microscope Eyepiece
2021
Lightfield microscopy has raised growing interest in the last few years. Its ability to get three-dimensional information about the sample in a single shot makes it suitable for many applications in which time resolution is fundamental. In this paper we present a novel device, which is capable of converting any conventional microscope into a lightfield microscope. Based on the Fourier integral microscope concept, we designed the lightfield microscope eyepiece. This is coupled to the eyepiece port, to let the user exploit all the host microscope’s components (objective turret, illumination systems, translation stage, etc.) and get a 3D reconstruction of the sample. After the optical design, …
Machine Learning-Based View Synthesis in Fourier Lightfield Microscopy
2022
Current interest in Fourier lightfield microscopy is increasing, due to its ability to acquire 3D images of thick dynamic samples. This technique is based on simultaneously capturing, in a single shot, and with a monocular setup, a number of orthographic perspective views of 3D microscopic samples. An essential feature of Fourier lightfield microscopy is that the number of acquired views is low, due to the trade-off relationship existing between the number of views and their corresponding lateral resolution. Therefore, it is important to have a tool for the generation of a high number of synthesized view images, without compromising their lateral resolution. In this context we investigate h…
Do p annihilations at rest choose the Eightfold way?
1993
Dynamical selection rules observed in pp annihilation at rest are linked to relations between SU(3) invariant amplitudes. The ϱπ puzzle, the KK suppression in P wave, and the unexplained production rates of πa2 (1320) are shown to be manifestions of one SU(3) amplitude ratio. The dynamical selection rules observed in the production of strange mesons lead to symmetries in SU(3) amplitudes. We conjecture that these symmetries reflect the underlying quark-gluon dynamic. It is shown that the contribution of annihilation diagrams to important annihilation channels like ϱ0π0 or ηω is small or vanishes. Hence rearrangement must play an important role. The use of SU(3) relations in the context of N…

Peut-on réduire les herbicides sans perdre de rendement ?
2019
Afin de concevoir des systèmes agricoles durables et économes en herbicides, il est indispensable de comprendre les relations entre usage d'herbicides, niveau d’infestation par les adventices et pertes de rendement. Comme les agriculteurs raisonnent l'utilisation des herbicides en fonction de la flore et de leurs autres pratiques (ex. travail du sol, date de semis, rotation), il est difficile d'évaluer ces relations directement en parcelles agricoles, tant les possibilités sont nombreuses. Notre étude a donc choisi de traiter la question via l’utilisation d’un modèle de simulation. Nous avons collecté et simulé 272 systèmes de culture d'agriculteurs de sept régions avec la flore adventice t…

Capture and visualization of biological 3D samples through lightfield imaging and display techniques
2022
La microscopía óptica convencional proporciona imágenes de alta resolución de muestras microscópicas. Sin embargo, su escasa profundidad de campo y su falta de seccionado óptico hacen que sea inadecuada para la observación de especímenes tridimensionales. Para solucionar este problema, se han propuesto varias técnicas de microscopía 3D, la mayoría de ellas basadas en procedimientos de escaneo. La microscopía lightfield, en cambio, es una técnica de reciente desarrollo, que es capaz de capturar información 3D de muestras gruesas en una sola toma. Esto se consigue registrando de forma simultánea la información espacial y angular de los rayos procedentes de cada punto del objeto. Esta caracter…
