We previously established a method for a directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into classical brown adipocytes (BA) by forming aggregates via massive floating culture in the presence of a specific cytokine cocktail.However, use of recombinant cytokines requires significant cost.Moreover, an enforced differentiation by exogenously
Assistive Technologies in Dementia Care: An Updated Analysis of the Literature
Objectives: Technology can assist and support both people with dementia (PWD) and caregivers.Recently, technology has begun to embed remote components.Timely with respect to the pandemic, the present work reviews the most recent Washing Machine Control Module literature on technology in dementia contexts together with the newest studies about techn
A Novel Energy-Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation for WSNs
Data aggregation is a fundamental and efficient algorithm to reduce the communication overhead and energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs).However, WSNs need both energy-efficient and privacy-preserving when being deployed in an unprotected area.In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient and privacy-preserving data aggregation algo
Sloughing skin in intravenous drug user
A 32 year old female, an active intravenous drug user, Dustbuster Vacuum Filter was admitted for fever, myalgias and an erythematous macular rash on her distal extremities.She quickly decompensated and developed septic shock.Her examination was significant for a progressive rash which within two days developed bullae and necrosis with progression t
Bootstrapping pentagon functions
Abstract In Phys.Rev.Lett.116 (2016) 062001, the space of planar pentagon functions that describes all two-loop on-shell five-particle scattering amplitudes was introduced.In the present paper we present a natural extension of this space to non-planar pentagon functions.This provides the basis for our pentagon bootstrap program.We classify the rele
