Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mental characterized by at least two weeks of low mood which present across most situations. Diagnosis MDD using rest-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data faces many challenges due to the high dimensionality, small samples, noisy and individual variability. To our best knowledge, no studies aim classification with effective connectivity measures between patients healthy controls. In this study, we performed data-driving analysis whole...

The hollow mold revolutionizes conventional dense design as it can optimize the solidification and cooling processes of casting offer potential to improve performance castings. In this paper, effect structures on microstructure mechanical properties a low pressure thin-walled aluminum alloy conical cabin was investigated. A combined by four sectors with different shell thicknesses tactfully designed. delayed casting. They significantly reduced pore defect from 0.4 % 0.03 at lower, 0.68 0.04...

The application of deep learning methods in brain disease diagnosis is becoming a new research hotspot. This study constructed functional networks based on the magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, and proposed novel convolutional neural network combined with prototype (CNNPL) framework to classify for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). At bottom CNNPL, traditional CNN was employed as basic feature extractor, while at top CNNPL multiple prototypes were automatically learnt features represent...

Scene-selective regions were shown to be significantly affected by spatial frequencies (SF) and have different sensitivities low (LSF) high (HSF). However, previous studies mainly focused on the neural activations or patterns in a single SF band. To investigate extent which information of is used scene category representations, we not only decoded categories each SF, but also LSF HSF decode non-filtered (NF) scenes based fMRI data using multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA). As luminance...

A temperature sensor based on a fiber ring laser embedded with liquid-filled photonic crystal (PCF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. High refractive index liquid infiltrated into an index-guiding PCF to generate band gap-like effect then used as the filter sensing head simultaneously. With increasing, emission wavelength of shifts shorter output intensity increases due gaps' movement. The sensitivity -1.747 nm/°C 0.137 dB/°C are obtained utilizing modulation modulation,...

A tunable single-polarization filter is designed by filling high index liquid into the silver-coated air holes of photonic crystal fiber and polarization characteristics are analyzed utilizing finite element method. Results show that can be used to realize, our best knowledge, filtering an incoming signal at 1310 1550 nm bands simultaneously in two orthogonal states with narrowband full width half maximum only 9 (at bands). The confinement losses unwanted polarized mode reach up 53.1 305.1...

The default mode network (DMN) is thought to reflect endogenous neural activity, which considered as one of the most intriguing phenomena in cognitive neuroscience. Previous studies have found that key regions within DMN are highly interconnected. Here, we characterized genetic influences on causal or directed information flow during resting state. In this study, recruited 46 pairs twins and collected fMRI imaging data using a 3.0 T scanner. Dynamic modeling was conducted for each...

A high sensitivity hollow fiber temperature sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and liquid core is designed analyzed using a finite element method. Toluene with refractive index large thermo-optic coefficient sealed into the hollow-core of to guarantee total internal reflection works as sensing medium. One single air hole near coated gold generate plasmons, two orthogonal polarization modes ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...

Resveratrol is a natural phytoalexin occurring in grapes, vines and peanuts possesses both antitumor antioxidation capabilities. Its chemoprotective actions are attributed partially to its anti-inflammation effect. The present study aimed at checking the inhibitory of resveratrol on release mediators from bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells (BMMC) vitro. Mast were prepared by isolating marrow intact mice femora culturing them for 4 weeks presence IL-3 FCS. reaction was triggered IgE or...

Abstract Humans can easily recognize others' facial expressions. Among the brain substrates that enable this ability, considerable attention has been paid to face‐selective areas; in contrast, whether motion‐sensitive areas, which clearly exhibit sensitivity movements, are involved expression recognition remained unclear. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study used multi‐voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) explore decoding both and areas. In a block design experiment,...

Emotions can be perceived through the face, body, and whole-person, while previous studies on abstract representations of emotions only focused face body. It remains unclear whether represented at an level regardless all three sensory cues in specific brain regions. In this study, we used representational similarity analysis (RSA) to explore hypothesis that emotion category is independent stimulus types decoded based activity patterns elicited by different emotions. Functional magnetic...

Claudin 5 is one of the major proteins tight junctions and responsible for cerebrovascular integrity BBB function. Muscone (+)-borneol ingredient moschus borneolum, respectively, with antioxidative anti-inflammatory activities. This study investigated whether muscone combination protected claudin by targeting ROS-mediated IL-1β accumulation. reduced cerebral infarct volume leakage protection in mice after stroke, largely due to inhibiting ROS accumulation inflammatory infiltrate microglia....
