Why Study the Overlap Between “Ought” and “Is” Anyways? On Empirically Investigating the Conventional Validity of the Pragma-Dialectical Discussion Rules
Secondary Nucleation in Amyloid Formation
Research into Alzheimer's disease is still hampered by a lack of fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms. While the aggregation of the amyloid β peptide (Aβ) into amyloid fibrils is highly implicated as a key factor in the disease, the molecular nature of its involvement has proven complex and elusive. This thesis and the work herein is part of an ongoing effort to map out the aggre

Linking war, natural resources and public revenues: the case of the War of the Pacific (1879-1883)
We argue that wars over natural resources, even if they are limited in their military scope, can have long-term consequences on the level and composition of public revenues. Military success in a resource war may lead to the annexation of natural resource-rich areas from enemy combatants, which provides the winning coalition with valuable and easy-to-tax sources of income. This, however, might dis

Four-dimensional tomographic reconstruction by time domain decomposition
For classical tomography, it is essential that the sample does not change during the acquisition of one tomographic rotation. We derived and successfully implemented a tomographic reconstruction method, which relaxes this requirement of quasistatic samples. In the present paper, dynamic tomographic data sets are decomposed in the temporal domain by projecting to a lower dimensional subspace of bas
Anti-cruelty, violence and the law. Animal protection in early 19th-century England
In 1822 the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed The Cruel Treatment of Cattle Act, which today is considered to be an important forerunner to modern animal protection and anti-cruelty legislation. However, the new Enlightenment attitudes to animals stemmed from an overly anthropocentric perception of the natural world and the place of the human animal in it. At the heart of the movement agains
Optimising performance in clinical capsule endoscopy
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE), perfomed by ingesting a small vitamin-sized camera pill, was developed over a period of a couple of decades and –since its introduction in clinical practice at the dawn of the millennium– has become an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of small bowel (SB) diseases. At the same time, other fields such as minimally invasive diagnosis of other parts of the

Exercise and Peak Bone Mass
Purpose of review: The main goal of this narrative review is to assess whether physical activity (PA) influences peak bone mass and fracture risk. Recent findings: Several randomized controlled trials (RCT) show that short-term PA intervention programs in childhood improve the accrual of bone mineral. There are now also long-term controlled PA intervention studies demonstrating that both boys and
Cell-permeable succinate prodrugs rescue mitochondrial respiration in cellular models of acute acetaminophen overdose
Acetaminophen is one of the most common over-the-counter pain medications used worldwide and is considered safe at therapeutic dose. However, intentional and unintentional overdose accounts for up to 70% of acute liver failure cases in the western world. Extensive research has demonstrated that the induction of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are central to the development of acetam

TNFR1 is associated with short-term mortality in patients with diabetes and acute dyspnea seeking care at the emergency department
Background: Circulating levels of TNF alpha receptor 1 (TNFR1) and 2 (TNFR2) are associated with increased long-term mortality and impaired kidney function. Aim: To study association between circulating levels of TNFR1 and TNFR2 and short-term mortality in patients with diabetes and dyspnea. Population and methods: Patients aged ≥ 18 years seeking at emergency department (ED) during daytime on wee
Cross-Point Arrays with Low-Power ITO-HfO2 Resistive Memory Cells Integrated on Vertical III-V Nanowires
Vertical nanowires with cointegrated metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET) selectors and nonvolatile resistive random access memory (RRAM) cells represent a promising candidate for fast, energy-efficient, cross-point memory cells. This paper explores indium-tin-oxide-hafnium-dioxide RRAM cells integrated onto arrays of indium-arsenide (InAs) vertical nanowires with a resulting
New paradigm of lean six sigma in the 4th industrial revolution era
Purpose: In early 2000s Six Sigma and Lean were combined into Lean Six Sigma (LSS), which has been one of the major strategic quality initiatives all over the world. Now, we are in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution (IR), which changes almost everything including LSS and quality management (QM) in the companies. We need new paradigm of LSS to boost LSS activities in this 4th IR era. In this
DPVis : Visual Analytics with Hidden Markov Models for Disease Progression Pathways
Clinical researchers use disease progression models to understand patient status and characterize progression patterns from longitudinal health records. One approach for disease progression modeling is to describe patient status using a small number of states that represent distinctive distributions over a set of observed measures. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) and its variants are a class of models
Protein Quality Control Pathways at the Crossroad of Synucleinopathies
The pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy, and many others converge at alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation. Although it is still not entirely clear what precise biophysical processes act as triggers, cumulative evidence points towards a crucial role for protein quality control (PQC) systems in modulating α-Syn aggregation and toxicity. These enc
