Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are disabling conditions characterised by chronic, relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Current treatments are not universally effective or, in the case of therapeutic antibodies, are hampered by immune responses. Janus kinase inhibitors are orally delivered small molecules that target cytokine signall...

In chemical functionalization of colloidal particles, the functional moieties are generally distributed rather homogeneously on the particle surface. Recently, a variety of synthetic protocols have been developed in which particle functionalization may be carried out in a spatially controlled fashion, leading to the production of structurally asymmetrical particles. Janus particles represent th...

Generalized Janus nematic colloids based on various morphologies of particle surface patches imposing homeotropic and planar surface anchoring are demonstrated. By using mesoscopic numerical modeling, multiple types of Janus particles are explored, demonstrating a variety of novel complex colloidal structures. We also show binding of Janus particles to a fixed Janus post in the nematic cell, wh...

This study introduces liquid crystal (LC) Janus droplets. We describe a process for the preparation of these droplets, which consist of nematic LC and polymer compartments. The process employs solvent-induced phase separation in emulsion droplets generated by microfluidics. The droplet morphology was systematically investigated and demonstrated to be sensitive to the surfactant concentration in...

JANUS-II is a research system to design and test components of speech-to-speech translation systems as well as a research prototype for such a system. We will focus on two aspects of the system: 1) new features of the speech recognition component JANUS-SR, 2) the end-to-end performance of JANUS-II, including a comparison of two machine translation strategies used for JANUS-MT (PHOENIX and GLR*).

BACKGROUND Long-term efficacy and safety of tacrolimus-eluting stent (Janus) for treatment of coronary artery disease in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) "real world" is uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Janus stent for treating coronary heart disease in PCI daily practice, the safety of 4-month clopidogrel therapy after Janus stent implantatio...

There is increasing interest in the preparation of Janus particles owing to their potential for application in a number of fields, such as the development of microrheological probes, optical biosensors, functional surfactants, and electronic devices. Janus particles can also be used to fabricate complex superstructures that would not be accessible from uniformly functionalized particles. Microf...

This paper presents Janus, a novel MAC protocol for full–duplex wireless networks. Unlike other full-duplex MACs, Janus allows partially interfering nodes to cooperate by finding the appropriate transmission rates based on interference levels, making better use of the channel. Computing the optimal schedule and transmission rates is NPComplete, so Janus uses a cheaper heuristic approach. Janus ...
