With the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), massive terminal devices are connected to the network, generating a large amount of IoT data. The reliable sharing of IoT data is crucial for fields such as smart home and healthcare, as it promotes the intelligence of the IoT and provides faster problem solutions. Traditional data sharing schemes usually rely on a trusted centralized server to achieve each attempted access from users to data, which faces serious challenges of a single point of failure, low reliability, and an opaque access process in current IoT environments. To address these disad...

An Evaluation of the Clinical Tools Used to Monitor Illicit Methamphetamine Use Among Chronic Pain Patients: A Cross Sectional Retrospective Study
Discussion: Confirmatory testing with mass spectrometry can detect illicit drugs, such as methamphetamine, with high sensitivity and specificity and should be used with all samples given the low sensitivity of screening immunoassay. It is of utmost importance that opioid pain medicine prescribers know the many possible interpretations of these results so that they are equipped to make appropriate clinical decisions to ensure the safety of the patient, prescriber, and practice.PMID:38560537 | PMC:PMC10977063 | DOI:10.1177/00185787231174752 (Source: Pain Physician)

Research on risk management incentive strategy based on the green financial ecosystem
by ZhongPing Cui, Shuang Lu, JinRong Liu
Taking the green financial ecosystem composed of innovators, green financial institutions and regulators as the object of research, it explores the issue of how to improve the level of efforts of the three types of subjects and the benefits of risk management in the green financial ecosystem. The optimal level of effort, optimal level of return, and optimal level of return on risk management of green financial ecosystems for innovators, green financial institutions, and regulators under the three modes of No-incentive Contract, Cost-sharing Contract, and Synergistic Cooperation Con...

gkiadakis
The technology landscape has been dynamically reshaped by the rapid growth of the Internet of Things, introducing an era where everyday objects, equipped with smart sensors and connectivity, seamlessly interact to create intelligent ecosystems. IoT devices are highly heterogeneous in terms of software and hardware, and many of them are severely constrained. This heterogeneity and potentially constrained nature creates new challenges in terms of security, privacy, and data management. This work proposes a Monitoring-as-a-Service platform for both monitoring and management purposes, offering a comprehensive sol...

The role of calcium in neuronal membrane tension and synaptic plasticity
Biochem Soc Trans. 2024 Mar 27:BST20231518. doi: 10.1042/BST20231518. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCalcium is a primary second messenger that plays a role in cellular functions including growth, movement and responses to drugs. The role that calcium plays in mediating communication between neurons by synaptic vesicle release is well established. This review focuses on the dependence of the physical properties of neuronal plasma membranes on calcium levels. After describing the key features of synaptic plasticity, we summarize the general role of calcium in cell function and the signaling pathways responsible for intracell...

After wounding, a G-protein coupled receptor promotes the restoration of tension in epithelial cells
Mol Biol Cell. 2024 Mar 27:mbcE23050204. doi: 10.1091/mbc.E23-05-0204. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe maintenance of epithelial barrier function involves cellular tension, with cells pulling on their neighbors to maintain epithelial integrity. Wounding interrupts cellular tension, which may serve as an early signal to initiate epithelial repair. To characterize how wounds alter cellular tension, we used a laser-recoil assay to map cortical tension around wounds in the epithelial monolayer of the Drosophila pupal notum. Within a minute of wounding, there was widespread loss of cortical tension along both radial and tange...
