INTRODUCTION: Studies on the prevalence of asthma and allergies often lack representation of the pediatric population, and their impact has not been examined using children without these diseases as a reference group. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of asthma and allergies in children under 14 years old in Spain and their impact on health-related quality of life, activities, healthcare utilization, and environmental and household exposure risk factors. METHODS: Data came from a Spanish population-based representative survey of children aged <14 years (N=6297)...

We propose a photonic-aided dual-vector radio-frequency (RF) signal generation and detection scheme enabled by bandpass delta-sigma modulation and heterodyne detection. With the aid of the bandpass delta-sigma modulation, our proposed scheme is transparent to the modulation format of the dual-vector RF signals and can support the generation, wireless transmission, and detection of both single-carrier (SC) and orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) vector RF signals with high-level quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) modulation...

This work presents the straightforward design of an integral controller with an anti-windup structure to prevent undesirable behavior when actuator saturation is considered, and the proposed controller improves the performance of the closed-loop dynamics of a class of nonlinear oscillators. The proposed integral controller has an adaptive control gain, which includes the absolute value of the named control error to turn off the integral action when it is saturated. Closed-loop stability analysis is performed under the Lyapunov theory framework, where it can be concluded that the system behaves in an asymptotically stable way...

Stevia ( Stevia rebaudiana ) has been employee for developing food products as a substitute for sucrose, low caloric, and natural sweetener. Different studies have evaluated the effect of this ingredient on the physicochemical, nutritional and technological properties of products; their application in dairy products affects some sensory characteristics such as taste; in the case of bread, cookies, and cakes modify the properties of the dough, altering attributes of the manufactured product, including color, texture, and flavor; also the use of stevia reduces gelling and affects the optical properties of the final product; and in beverages cases, the total substitution of sugar has led to bitter and unpleasant flavor...

Non-contact technology for monitoring the vital signs of multiple individuals, such as respiration and heartbeat, has been investigated in recent years due to the rising cardiopulmonary morbidity, the risk of disease transmission, and the heavy burden on medical staff. Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars have shown great promise in meeting these needs, even using a single-input-single-output (SISO) setup. However, contemporary techniques for non-contact vital signs monitoring (NCVSM) via SISO FMCW radar, are based on simplistic models and present difficulties in coping with noisy environments containing multiple objects...

The face is a defining feature of our individuality, crucial for our social interactions. But what happens when the face connected to the self is radically altered or replaced? We address the plasticity of self-face recognition in the context of facial transplantation. While the acquisition of a new face following facial transplantation is a medical fact, the experience of a new identity is an unexplored psychological outcome. We traced the changes in self-face recognition before and after facial transplantation to understand if and how the transplanted face gradually comes to be perceived and recognized as the recipient's own new face...

The conventional Mason's gain formula is limited to single-input single-output (SISO) systems and is inadequate for coupled multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems as it does not consider matrix operations. To fill this gap, this paper introduces a novel unified gain formula for control diagrams with matrix-based transfer functions. The formula is developed using partitioned matrix theory and feature extraction methods. Applying the partitioned matrix concept, the transfer function between any input and output of three type control diagrams is derived...

Stimulation from the road surface can cause vehicle vibrations. Vehicle vibration is evaluated based on the change of displacement and acceleration values of the vehicle body. In order to improve ride comfort, an active suspension system should be used. This article proposes a new method for controlling the functioning of the active suspension system. The AFSPIDF algorithm was designed based on PID, SMC, and Fuzzy algorithms. The PID algorithm is only applicable to SISO objects with linear oscillations. The SMC algorithm can be applied to nonlinear systems; however, a chattering phenomenon can still occur...

The goal of the paper is the design of soft sensors for single input single output (SISO) nonlinear processes. This goal is of essential importance for process monitoring, fault detection and fault isolation. The observer-based technique, being a fruitful direction in soft sensor design, is followed to develop soft sensors for nonlinear processes with known dynamics and unknown physical parameters. A new and general approach, based on the identified I/O linear approximant system descriptions, around prespecified operating points, and a bank of switching linear observers, will be developed...

Receptor‑binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells (RCAS1) is a tumor‑associated antigen that is expressed in a number of human malignancies. RCAS1 acts as a ligand for a putative RCAS1 receptor that is present on various human cells including T and B lymphocytes and natural killer cells, in which it induces cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. It has been suggested that RCAS1 might serve an important role in tumor cell evasion from the host immune system. In fact, RCAS1 expression is related to malignant characteristics including tumor size, invasion depth, clinical stage and poor overall survival...

Benign and malignant nerve sheath tumors (NST) pose a major challenge in routine diagnostic anatomic pathology because of shared histomorphological features with other soft-tissue tumors (STT). As a result, NST are often diagnosed as STT, a broad category that encompasses various entities including perivascular wall tumors (PWT) and that represents approximately 15% of all skin tumors in dogs. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can assist the identification of histologic subtypes of STT. This IHC pilot study applies various markers largely expressed by peripheral nerves to twelve benign and six malignant NST and determines the intratumoral protein expression of laminin, periaxin-1, Sox-10 and S-100 in the NST subtypes...

Physical layer secret key generation (PLKG) is a promising technology for establishing effective secret keys. Current works for PLKG mostly study key generation schemes in ideal communication environments with little or even no signal interference. In terms of this issue, exploiting the reconfigurable intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) to assist PLKG has caused an increasing interest. Most IRS-assisted PLKG schemes focus on the single-input-single-output (SISO), which is limited in future communications with multi-input-multi-output (MIMO)...
