In this study, electromagnetic interference testing of microcontroller units (MCUs) under different pulse (EMP) amplitudes, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and angles was carried out on an EMP cell. The coupling path the radiation-type experiment circuit board is random. However, in several experiments with two pins specific to a certain integrated circuit, by measuring voltage MCU pins, sta...

With the increasing scale of deployment of Internet of Things (IoT), concerns about IoT security have become more urgent. In particular, memory corruption attacks play a predominant role as they allow remote compromise of IoT devices. Control-flow integrity (CFI) is a promising and generic defense technique against these attacks. However, given the nature of IoT deployments, existing protection...

INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia is a serious health problem prevailing in diabetes patients. Treatment for hyperglycemia by various oral anti-hyperglycemic drugs have associated with side effects, hence there is growing awareness towards the use of herbal products due to their efficacy, minimal side effects and relatively low costs. This study is designed to evaluate anti-hyperglycemic activity of C...

This manuscript is a contribution on the modeling of H.263 traffic in multipoint videoconference sessions over IP Networks. Our study includes analysis and assessment of modeling of extensive data gathered during realistic videoconference sessions between commercial H.263-compliant terminal clients (with different videoconference software packages installed). All terminal clients were communica...

Mitochondrial calcium uptake is present in nearly all vertebrate tissues and is believed to be critical in shaping calcium signaling, regulating ATP synthesis and controlling cell death. Calcium uptake occurs through a channel called the uniporter that resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Recently, we used comparative genomics to identify MICU1 and MCU as the key regulatory and putative...

BACKGROUND In critically ill patients, dosing of unfractionated heparin (UFH) is difficult due to unpredictable pharmacokinetics, which has an impact on the time to reach therapeutic anticoagulation. We evaluated the quality of UFH therapy in critically ill patients in terms of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test values and time to therapeutic range. METHODS Patients admitted to...

The paper deals with engineering an electric wheelchair from a common wheelchair and the development of a BCI system (Brain-Computer Interface) between the electric wheelchair and the human brain. The target populations for the mind controlled wheelchair are the patients who are paralyzed below the neck and are unable to use conventional wheelchair interfaces. A portable EEG headset, MCU and fi...

Mitochondrial Ca(2+) controls numerous cell functions, such as energy metabolism, reactive oxygen species generation, spatiotemporal dynamics of Ca(2+) signaling, cell growth and death in various cell types including neurons. Mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation is mainly mediated by the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter (MCU), but recent reports also indicate that mitochondrial Ca(2+)-influx mechani...

INTRODUCTION Stimulating recreational and leisure activities (RLAs) are essential to physical and mental well-being; however, people living in memory care units (MCUs) may lack access to them. Technology has the potential to facilitate and enrich activity engagement in this context. OBJECTIVES In this 6-month study, we evaluated a commercially available system designed to encourage the engage...

Background: Mitochondrial Ca uptake is a pivotal pathophysiological process for neuronal survival when subjected to ischemic insult. Mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) has been demonstrated as a key regulator of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), identified as a tetrameric highly specific channel that modulates mitochondrial Ca+ uptake. Methods: Adult male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats u...
