Published: August 2011

We study the interaction distance in the lateral force detection, using a standard quartz tuning fork as a force transducer. That is the distance at which the interaction sample-probe starts to be detected. We study in particular the dependence on the approaching angle. For angles smaller than 0.366 radians, we found an exponential behavior of the interaction distance as a function of the approaching angle. We show an equation that adjusts well with the experimental data, and discuss the possible phenomena.

Gene regulatory network inference based on modified adaptive lasso.

J Bioinform Comput Biol

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) reveal the regulatory interactions among genes and provide a visual tool to explain biological processes. However, how to identify direct relations among genes from gene expression data in the case of high-dimensional and small samples is a critical challenge. In this paper, we proposed a new GRN inference method based on a modified adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (MALasso).

This study explores the preparation of lubricating oleo-dispersions using electrospun nanofibrous mats made from low-sulfonate lignin (LSL) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The rheological and tribological properties of the oleo-dispersions were significantly modulated for the first time through the exploration of LSL/PCL ratio and electrospinning conditions such as applied voltage, distance between the tip and collector, flow rate, ambient humidity, and collector configuration. Adequate uniform ultrathin fibers and Small-amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) functions of the oleo-dispersions, with storage modulus values ranging from 10 to 10 Pa at 25 °C, were obtained with a flow rate of 0.

Remote sighted assistance (RSA) offers prosthetic support to people with visual impairments (PVI) through image- or video-based conversations with remote sighted assistants. While useful, RSA services introduce privacy concerns, as PVI may reveal private visual content inadvertently. Solutions have emerged to address these concerns on image-based asynchronous RSA, but exploration into solutions for video-based synchronous RSA remains limited.

Tidal Deformation and Dissipation Processes in Icy Worlds.

Tidal interactions play a key role in the dynamics and evolution of icy worlds. The intense tectonic activity of Europa and the eruption activity on Enceladus are clear examples of the manifestation of tidal deformation and associated dissipation. While tidal heating has long been recognized as a major driver in the activity of these icy worlds, the mechanism controlling how tidal forces deform the different internal layers and produce heat by tidal friction still remains poorly constrained.

Evaluating the Effects of Mental Health e-Learning on the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Primary Healthcare Professionals in Mali. A Pilot Study.

Early Interv Psychiatry

Institute of Epidemiology and Tropical Neurology, OmegaHealth, Inserm U1094, IRD U270, Univ. Limoges, CHU Limoges, EpiMaCT - Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases in Tropical Zone, Limoges, France.

Background: Despite their high prevalence and significant burden, mental disorders remain grossly under-diagnosed and under-treated. In low-and-middle-income countries, such as Mali, integrating mental health services into primary care is the most viable way of closing the treatment gap. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a mental health e-learning program on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of primary healthcare professionals in Mali.
