    Abstract Integration of multiple features including shape memory, biodegradation, and sustained drug delivery in a single material offers the opportunity to significantly improve the abilities of implantable devices for cardiovascular system regeneration. Two types of shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs): PU-PLGA and PU-PLLA/PEG differing in soft segments composition that comprising blends of various biodegradable polyols, i.e. D,l-lactide-co-glycolide diol (o-PLGA), poly(e-caprolactone) diols (o-PCL) with various molecular weights, poly-l-lactide diol (o-PLLA), polyethylene glycol (o-PEG) were synthesized and further utilized to electrospun nanofibrous - rapamycin (Rap) delivery system. Structure characterization by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DCS) and hydrophilicity measurements were performed to gain more insights on the influence of the particular units of the softs segments on the transition temperature (T

    Abstract A new type of organobentonite foundry binder composed of a composite of bentonite (SN) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was analyzed using thermal analysis (TG-DTG-DSC) and pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The temperature range in which the composite retains its binding properties was identified using thermal analysis of the composite and its components. Results showed that the thermal decomposition process is complex and involves physicochemical transformations that are mainly reversible at temperatures in the ranges of 20-100 °C (related to evaporation of solvent water) and 100-230 °C (related to intermolecular dehydration). The decomposition of PAA chains occurs between 230 and 300 °C, while complete decomposition of PAA and formation of organic decomposition products takes place at 300-500 °C. Dehydroxylation of montmorillonite (MMT) in bentonite begins at about 500 °C, which leads to a drastic structural transformation. An endothermic effect associated with the remodeling of the mineral structure was observed on the DSC curve in the range of 500-750 °C. The produced SN/PAA composite was found to be thermostable during degradation in both oxidative and inert atmosphere, similar to the starting bentonite, and even maintained over a relatively higher and wider temperature range compared to organic binding materials used. At the given temperatures of 300 °C and 800 °C, only CO

    Abstract In many applications, multilayer mirrors are exposed to damaging fluences of x rays. In x-ray laser cavities intense optical and broad-band x radiation, from the x-ray laser plasma amplifier, can damage multilayer mirrors on time scales of hundreds of picoseconds. We describe experiments using short duration (500 ps) bursts of soft x rays from a laser produced gold plasma to damage multilayer mirrors designed to reflect wavelengths close to 45 Å at normal incidence. The effect of the damaging x-ray flux on normal incidence reflectivity was time resolved for W/C, WRe/C, WC/C, 303-stainless-steel/C, and Cr3C2/C multilayers. The damage thresholds of the different mirrors were compared, and the Cr3C2/C mirrors were found to be the most resilient. The outer layers of the multilayers were observed to expand slowly as x rays were absorbed, and a more rapid expansion then preceded the total loss of reflectivity, at temperatures well below the melting temperature of the mirror components. It is believed that the dominant expansion mechanism is a change in the amorphous carbon layers to a more graphitic structure. The data are fit quite well by a model that assumes expansion of up to 25% in the thickness of the outermost carbon layers, followed by intermixing of the hotter layers. The rapid expansion has been observed to occur in times from 40 to 150 ps and may be the fastest resolution to date of the phenomenon of graphitization. The integrated reflectivity of the mirrors was observed to increase by up to a factor of 2.5 as they damaged; this reflectivity increase may be consistent with a reduction in the layer roughness.

    Abstract Typical approaches to visual vehicle tracking across large area require several cameras and complex algorithms to detect, identify and track the vehicle route. Due to memory requirements, computational complexity and hardware constrains, the video images are transmitted to a dedicated workstation equipped with powerful graphic processing units. However, this requires large volumes of data to be transmitted and may raise privacy issues. This paper presents a dedicated deep learning detection and tracking algorithms that can be run directly on the camera's embedded system. This method significantly reduces the stream of data from the cameras, reduces the required communication bandwidth and expands the range of communication technologies to use. Consequently, it allows to use short-range radio communication to transmit vehicle-related information directly between the cameras, and implement the multi-camera tracking directly in the cameras. The proposed solution includes detection and tracking algorithms, and a dedicated low-power short-range communication for multi-target multi-camera tracking systems that can be applied in parking and intersection scenarios. System components were evaluated in various scenarios including different environmental and weather conditions.

    Title translation Gene therapy for the treatment of patients with brain gliomas.
    Abstract The prognosis of patients with brain gliomas remains poor despite the use of advanced surgical techniques, radio- and chemotherapy. In this respect, gene engineering techniques altering the glioma genome in order to regulate the function of key genes involved in cancerogenesis seem to be promising. The premise for applying a gene therapy in patients with brain gliomas is described, together with basic strategies and results of hitherto performed experimental and clinical studies, mostly with the use of virus vectors. The rapid progress in molecular techniques may enable to overcome methodological problems related to the introduction of the therapeutic gene into the target cell, and thus to improve so far unsatisfactory results of glioma gene therapy. The important role of a neurosurgeon in the process of precise gene vector application to the tumour area should not be underestimated.

    Abstract Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are being explored as a therapeutic target for interventions in different types of cancer. HDAC8 is a class I HDAC that is implicated as a therapeutic target in various indication areas, including different types of cancer and particularly childhood neuroblastoma. Most previously described HDAC8-selective inhibitors contain a hydroxamate function as zinc binding group (ZBG) to confer potency. However, hydroxamate class HDAC inhibitors have raised increasing concerns about their mutagenic character. Therefore, non-hydroxamate based inhibitors could prove to be safer than hydroxamates. In the present work, a series of novel 5-naphthylidene-2,4-thiazolidinedione was designed and evaluated as potential antiproliferative agents targeting selectively HDAC8 enzyme. Eleven novel derivatives were synthesized, purified and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 3k and 3h was found to be most potent selective inhibitors of HDAC8 with IC

    Abstract In neural circuits, action potentials (spikes) are conventionally caused by excitatory inputs whereas inhibitory inputs reduce or modulate neuronal excitability. We previously showed that neurons in the superior paraolivary nucleus (SPN) require solely synaptic inhibition to generate their hallmark offset response, a burst of spikes at the end of a sound stimulus, via a post-inhibitory rebound mechanism. In addition SPN neurons receive excitatory inputs, but their functional significance is not yet known. Here we used mice of both sexes to demonstrate that in SPN neurons, the classical roles for excitation and inhibition are switched, with inhibitory inputs driving spike firing and excitatory inputs modulating this response. Hodgkin-Huxley modeling suggests that a slow, NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated excitation would accelerate the offset response. We find corroborating evidence from
