TL;DR: Results show that the N-terminal region needs to be inserted in the lipid membrane before the oligomerization into the final pore and imply that there is no need for a stable prepore formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a performance augmenting exoskeleton on the metabolic cost of an able-bodied user/pilot during periodic squatting was investigated, and the effects of different non-invasive control strategies, such as gravity compensation, position-based and oscillator-based control, were compared.
Abstract: A number of studies discuss the design and control of various exoskeleton mechanisms, yet relatively few address the effect on the energy expenditure of the user. In this paper, we discuss the effect of a performance augmenting exoskeleton on the metabolic cost of an able-bodied user/pilot during periodic squatting. We investigated whether an exoskeleton device will significantly reduce the metabolic cost and what is the influence of the chosen device control strategy. By measuring oxygen consumption, minute ventilation, heart rate, blood oxygenation, and muscle EMG during 5-min squatting series, at one squat every 2 s, we show the effects of using a prototype robotic knee exoskeleton under three different noninvasive control approaches: gravity compensation approach, position-based approach, and a novel oscillator-based approach. The latter proposes a novel control that ensures synchronization of the device and the user. Statistically significant decrease in physiological responses can be observed when using the robotic knee exoskeleton under gravity compensation and oscillator-based control. On the other hand, the effects of position-based control were not significant in all parameters although all approaches significantly reduced the energy expenditure during squatting.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple PbF 2 crystals and micro-channel plate photomultipliers (MCP PMTs) were used to improve the measurement of arrival time difference of positron photons arising from annihilation of a positron in positron emission tomography (PET).
Abstract: This work investigates the possibilities of improving the measurements of arrival time difference of the two 511 keV photons arising from annihilation of a positron in positron emission tomography (PET). The new technique of detecting the prompt Cherenkov light, produced by absorption of the annihilation photon in a suitable crystal, could considerably improve the image quality. A simple apparatus with PbF 2 crystals and microchannel plate photomultipliers (MCP PMTs) has been constructed and coincidence resolutions of 71 ps FWHM and 95 ps FWHM have been achieved with 5 and 15 mm thick crystals, respectively. Simulation calculations are in agreement with the experimental findings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a statistical approach to estimate the time in which an operating gear will reach a critical stage, which relies on measured vibration signals, and then their evolution over time is predicted.
