“Transflammation”: When Innate Immunity Meets Induced Pluripotency
A surprising link between innate immunity and nuclear reprogramming is reported by Lee et al.; this discovery may boost the efficiency of stem cell production.
متن کاملOperating Room Noise: More than Meets the Ear
The OR can be a noisy environment due to multiple contributing factors (e.g. movement of equipment, surgical instruments/machines/lasers, beepers/phones, overhead pages, conversations, and music). Some factors can be controlled, while others are essential to patient care. Hazards to patient safety and care due to miscommunication amongst OR personnel have been demonstrated in both simulated and...
متن کاملMechanics of the frog ear.
The frog inner ear contains three regions that are sensitive to airborne sound and which are functionally distinct. (1) The responses of nerve fibres innervating the low-frequency, rostral part of the amphibian papilla (AP) are complex. Electrical tuning of hair cells presumably contributes to the frequency selectivity of these responses. (2) The caudal part of the AP covers the mid-frequency p...
متن کاملSignal to Interference and Noise Ratio of an IR system
Infrared (IR), a new medium for indoor wireless communication system due to its abundant bandwidth that is virtually untapped and freely available, is become more and more popular in indoor wireless communication systems. Based on Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS/CDMA) technique, infrared systems will use low power on transmission and reception by spreading spectrum which could...
متن کاملEffect of signal to noise ratio on the speech perception ability of older adults
Background: Speech perception ability depends on auditory and extra-auditory elements. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an extra-auditory element that has an effect on the ability to normally follow speech and maintain a conversation. Speech in noise perception difficulty is a common complaint of the elderly. In this study, the importance of SNR magnitude as an extra-auditory effect on speech...
