The regulation of type I interferon production by paramyxoviruses
No full textResearch supported by The Wellcome Trust (087751/A/08/Z)Experimentally, paramyxoviruses are conventionally considered good inducers of type I interferons (IFN-alpha/beta), and have been used as agents in the commercial production of human IFN-alpha. However, in the last few years it has become clear that viruses in general mount a major challenge to the IFN system, and paramyxoviruses are no exception. Indeed, most paramyxoviruses encode mechanisms to inhibit both the production of, and response to, type I IFN. Here we review our knowledge of the type I IFN-inducing signals (by so-called pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or PAMPs) produced during paramyxovirus infections, and discuss how paramyxoviruses limit the production of PAMPs and inhibit the cellular responses to PAMPs by interfering with the activities of the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), mda-5, and RIG-I, as well as downstream components in the type I IFN induction cascades.Peer reviewe
Implementasi Protokol Keamanan Dan Segmentasi Jaringan Dalam Project Pembangunan WLAN Untuk PT Pan Pacific Insurance
No full textSecurity of data and network devices is essential in the development of a computer network, either in the creation of new computer networks or in the development of existing computer networks. PT. Pan Pacific Insurance as a company that holds large amounts of data along with its supporting computer network's infrastructure, focuses on security aspects in addition to performance aspects in its computer network. To get the flexibility of its computer network, the company developed a wireless local area network (WLAN) in line with the relocation of its head office. The Existing company's network needs to be improved with a WLAN network, so it does not only improve employee performance and provides the best security for company data. For those purposes, the authors applied the use of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), Cisco Access Point and applied the WPA+WPA2 PSK security protocol for the SSID used by employees. Using this protocol when employees want to connect to the network wireless, they will be forced to type the password that has been set. In addition to implementing the security protocol, the author also applies the Web Policy Authentication security protocol for the SSID used by guests. So that guests who want to connect to a wireless network will be directed to a web browser to be asked to enter a username and password first. A series of security protocols, also added with network segmentation on each SSID to use a different network address. Thus, the essence of network security and performance is expected to increase. From the results of the tests carried out, obtained security guarantees on the PT. Pan Pacific Insurance successfully directs every user connected to the network as part of the security protocol implemented. Furthermore, with network segmentation, user traffic is more controlled because guests get their network segmentation, so they don't interfere with network traffic for users or company staff in company operations
Titanium oxide adhesion layer for high temperature annealed Si/Si3N4/TiOx/Pt/LiCoO2 battery structures
No full textThis work describes the influence of a high annealing temperature of about
700C on the Si(substrate)/Si3N4/TiOx/Pt/LiCoO2 multilayer system for the
fabrication of all-solid-state lithium ion thin film microbatteries. Such microbatteries
typically utilize lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) as cathode material
with a platinum (Pt) current collector. Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is used to act as a
barrier against Li diffusion into the substrate. For a good adherence between
Si3N4 and Pt, commonly titanium (Ti) is used as intermediate layer. However,
to achieve crystalline LiCoO2 the multilayer system has to be annealed at high
temperature. This post-treatment initiates Ti diffusion into the Pt-collector
and an oxidation to TiOx, leading to volume expansion and adhesion failures.
To solve this adhesion problem, we introduce titanium oxide (TiOx) as an
adhesion layer, avoiding the diffusion during the annealing process. LiCoO2,
Pt and Si3N4 layers were deposited by magnetron sputtering and the TiOx
layer by thermal oxidation of Ti layers deposited by e-beam technique. Asdeposited
and annealed multilayer systems using various TiOx layer thicknesses
were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and time-of-flight
secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS). The results revealed that an annealing process at temperature
of 700C leads to different interactions of Ti atoms between the layers, for
various TiOx layer thicknesses (25–45 nm).This work was financially supported by FEDER/ COMPETE and FCT funds with the Projects PTDC/ EEA-ELC/114713/2009, PEst-C/QUI/UI0686/2013 and UID/EEA/04436/2013, first author scholarship SFRH/BPD/95905/2013 and second author scholarship SFRH/BD/78217/2011.

Elucidating the Visual Snow Spectrum: A Latent Class Analysis Study
No full textOBJECTIVE: People with visual snow syndrome (VSS) experience a range of perceptual phenomena, in addition to visual snow (VS; flickering pinpricks of light throughout the visual field). We investigated the patterns of perceptual phenomena associated with VSS in a large sample of people without prior knowledge of VSS or its associated symptoms. Methods and Measures. Two thousand participants completed a screening questionnaire assessing the frequency and severity of perceptual phenomena associated with VSS. We used latent class analysis (LCA), a clustering technique which identifies qualitatively different subgroups within a given population, to investigate whether the presence (or absence) of VS impacted class structure. RESULTS: Of 1,846 participants included for analysis, 41.92% experienced VS some of the time, including 4.49% who had VSS without prior knowledge. The mean number of perceptual phenomena experienced was 2.03. Optimal four-class LCA solutions did not substantially differ whether VS was included in the model; instead, classes differed in the frequency and total number of symptoms experienced. Discussion. Our results suggest that the perceptual phenomena associated with VSS are likely to be common in the general population and do not necessarily indicate an underlying pathology. We also showed that visual snow itself does not explain the presence of other perceptual phenomena

Effect of Pt bottom electrode texture selection on the tetragonality and physical properties of Ba 0.8Sr 0.2TiO 3 thin films produced by pulsed laser deposition
No full textThe effect of platinum (Pt) bottom electrode texture on the tetragonality, dielectric, ferroelectric, and polarization switching response of pulsed laser deposited Ba 0.8Sr 0.2TiO 3 (BST) thin films has been studied. The x-ray diffraction and Raman analysis revealed the higher tetragonality of BST films when they were grown on higher (111) textured Pt layer. The properties like dielectric permittivity, polarization, switching time, and leakage currents were found to be correlated to tetragonality and orientation of the BST films. The polarization current was observed to be higher in BST films on Pt epitaxial layer and it exhibits exponential dependence on the electric field. The voltage-current measurements displayed Ohmic behavior of leakage current irrespective of Pt texture for low voltages (up to 1 V), whereas at higher voltages the conduction mechanism was found to be dependent on texture selection of bottom Pt electrode. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.The author J.P.B.S. thanks FCT for the financial support (Grant SFRH/BD/44861/2008).
