Abstract Wearing masks has been a recommended protective measure due to the risks of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) even in its coming endemic phase. Therefore, deploying “smart mask” monitor human physiological signals is highly beneficial for personal and public health. This work presents smart mask integrating an ultrathin nanocomposite sponge structure‐based soundwave sensor (≈400 µm), which allows high sensitivity wide‐bandwidth dynamic pressure range, i.e., capable detecting...
As drones become interwoven in human activities, increasingly taking on tasks interpreted as creative and performative, such choreographed light shows, there is emerging interest understanding how humans can perform together. Humans have different habits when performing with partners opposed to solo. How do people adapt their behaviors perspectives improvising robotic partners? To explore these questions, we conducted a study investigating dancer-drone interactions using system of micro...
The inhibition of twenty-five 1,2-fused/disubstituted benzimidazoles on the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro were investigated in this work. It was found that four compounds (1i, 1k, 1l, and 1m) showed obvious inhibitory effect Mpro. 1k (IC50 46.86 μM) best. UV-vis, fluorescence, CD molecular docking methods used to reveal mechanisms interaction between these Results indicated static quenching main type quenching. 1i, 1m may alter conformation microenvironment dominant forces 1i (or 1l) hydrogen bonds or van...
Abstract Since the outbreak of COVID‐19, one strategies used to search for potential drugs has been screen inhibitors SARS‐CoV‐2 Mpro. This work investigated inhibitory effects 4‐thiazolidinone derivatives on main protease (Mpro) using various methods, including enzyme activity assays, kinetics, spectroscopy experiments, molecular docking simulations, microscale thermophoresis, and cytotoxicity tests. Compound 3a demonstrated best inhibition effect among compounds tested, with IC 50 = 2.36 ±...
Robots are increasingly deployed in crowded, large-scale environments where the demands on their services can outweigh ability to respond. When robots fail respond, humans may interpret unintended consequence negatively as a form of rejection, leading loss trust. How do service recover from such rejection remediate human trust due perceived rejection? We created task mimicking shopping malls robot arm is asked provide coffee, juice, or tea participants. rendered elsewhere, participants...
Inhibition of virus replication and inflammatory response is important for the treatment severe COVID-19 patients. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) indispensable SARS-CoV-2 replication, Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitors exert immunosuppressive effects. RdRp/JAK1 dual-target drugs are expected to ameliorate severity disease. The N-terminal nidovirus RdRp-associated nucleotidyltransferase (NiRAN) domain RdRp a pseudokinase, it has structural similarities with JAK1. Herein, we evaluated...
Abstract A global sentiment in early 2022 is that the COVID-19 virus could become endemic just like common cold flu viruses soon. The most optimistic view that, with minimal precautions, such as vaccination, boosters and optional masking, life for people will proceed normal However, warned by A. Katzourakis of Oxford University recently [1], we must set aside lazy optimism, be realistic about likely levels death, disability sickness brought on a ‘COVID-19’ endemic. Moreover, world also...
