This study seeks to demonstrate that a navigation system using stereophonic sound technology is effective in supporting visually impaired people in public spaces.In the proposed method, stereophonic sound is produced by a pair of parametric speakers for a person who comes to a specific position, detected by an RGB-D sensor.The sound is a stereophon
Exploring the effects of polls on public opinion: How and when media reports of policy preferences can become self-fulfilling prophesies
Recent work has suggested that media reporting about the public’s policy preferences may be self-reinforcing, contributing to greater policy conformity.This article presents additional evidence in support of this theory and adds new detail about the conditionality of these effects.Results from two experiments are described in which respondents ar
A method for time difference correction for real-time seismic-while-mining data
Objective Seismic-while-mining (SWM) data are usually acquired using multiple stations, each of which is equipped with multiple data acquisition traces.However, the SWM data received by these stations Recycling Bins exhibit time differences due to the lack of GPS signals underground and the fact that current network synchronization technologies are
Single-cell RNA sequencing uncovers molecular mechanisms of intravenous immunoglobulin plus methylprednisolone in Kawasaki disease: attenuated monocyte-driven inflammation and improved NK cell cytotoxicity
IntroductionIntravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) plus methylprednisolone as initial intensive therapy or additional therapy in Kawasaki disease (KD) has been used in clinical practice.However, its molecular and cellular mechanism is unclear.MethodsWe performed single-cell analysis on 14 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples obtained from 7
Partial p53 reactivation is sufficient to induce cancer regression
Abstract Background Impaired p53 function is one of the central molecular features of a tumor cell and even a partial reduction in p53 activity can increase the cancer risk in mice and men.From a therapeutic perspective it is noteworthy that tumor cells often become addicted to the absence of p53 providing a rationale for developing p53 reactivatin
