Inflammation is a known mechanism that facilitates HIV acquisition and the spread of infection. In this study, we evaluated whether curcumin, a potent and safe anti-inflammatory compound, could be used to abrogate inflammatory processes that facilitate HIV-1 acquisition in the female genital tract (FGT) and contribute to HIV amplification. Primary, human genital epithelial cells (GECs) were pre...

Evaluating sums of multivariate Gaussians is a common computational task in computer vision and pattern recognition, including in the general and powerful kernel density estimation technique. The quadratic computational complexity of the summation is a significant barrier to the scalability of this algorithm to practical applications. The fast Gauss transform (FGT) has successfully accelerated ...

Abstract The Fe n GeTe 2 systems are recently discovered two-dimensional van-der-Waals materials, exhibiting magnetism at room temperature. sub-systems belonging to class special because they show site-dependent magnetic behavior. We focus on the critical evaluation of properties and electron correlation effects in ( = 3, 4, 5) (FGT) performing first-principles calculations. Three different ab ...

The control of spin current is pivotal for spintronic applications, especially spin-orbit torque devices. Spin Hall effect (SHE) a prevalent method to generate current. However, it difficult manipulate its polarization in nonmagnet. Recently, the discovery ferromagnet offers opportunity realize manipulation. In present work, van der Waals Fe3GeTe2 (FGT) with varying magnetization theoretically ...

This paper presents a decomposed co-design optimization framework for an electric vehicle powertrain equipped with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). We jointly design the sizes of components and energy management strategy, considering dynamics transmission. Specifically, we divide resulting nonlinear problem into separate hierarchical subproblems leveraging concept Analytical Target Cas...
