-The trustworthiness of safety critical system (SCS) is very important. To assess their trustworthiness depends on data from test. In order to ensure the reliability and validity of test data, especially for such complex SCS, development of test languages is inevitable trend for automatic test of SCS. As general test language for SCS should be independent of specific equipment, in the paper typ...

S U M M A R Y We infer shear attenuation in the lower mantle by using the method of instantaneous frequency matching to calculate differential t∗ between core-reflected ScS and direct S (δt∗ScS−S). The instantaneous frequency at the envelope peak of a seismic phase is related to the average Fourier spectral frequency of that phase. To estimate δt∗ScS−S for a given trace, we first calculate the ...

BACKGROUND Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been shown to provide pain relief in painful diabetic polyneuropathy (PDPN). As the vasculature system plays a great role in the pathophysiology of PDPN, a potential beneficial side-effect of SCS is peripheral vasodilation, with high frequency (HF) SCS in particular. We hypothesize that HF-SCS (500 Hz), compared with conventional (CON) or low frequen...

Stem-like cells may be integral to the development and maintenance of human cancers. Direct proof is still lacking, mainly because of our poor understanding of the biological differences between normal and cancer stem cells (SCs). Using the ErbB2 transgenic model of breast cancer, we found that self-renewing divisions of cancer SCs are more frequent than their normal counterparts, unlimited and...

The objective of the present study was to construct and validate a short-form version of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). Two Dutch samples were used to construct and cross-validate the factorial structure of a 12-item Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF). The SCS-SF was then validated in a third, English sample. The SCS-SF demonstrated adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha ≥ 0.8...

The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling pathway contributes to the cell migration and adhesion that is critical for wound healing and regeneration of damaged muscle, but its function in skeletal muscle satellite cells (SCs) is less clear. We compared the migration and adhesion of SCs derived from two species of pig (Lantang and Landrace) in vitro, and explored how FAK signaling modulates the ...
