PPARβ/δ agonism upregulates forkhead box A2 to reduce inflammation in C2C12 myoblasts and in skeletal muscle by Phua, Wendy Wen Ting, Tan, Wei Ren, Yip, Yun Sheng, Hew, Ivan Dongzheng, Wee, Jonathan Wei Kiat, Cheng, Hong Sheng, Leow, Melvin Khee Shing, Wahli, Walter, Tan, Nguan Soon

“…Using PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 upregulates FoxA2, which in turn, attenuates the production of proinflammatory cytokines and reduces the infiltration of CD45+ immune cells in two mouse models of muscle inflammation, systemic LPS and intramuscular injection of carrageenan, which mimic localized exercise-induced inflammation. …”

Psychological contract, motivation, perceived supervisor support and monitoring : relationships with effort by Hu, Sheena Min En, Pan, Wynne Huimin, Tan, Yane Chang

“…Specifically, it also studies the impacts of a) perceived employer inducement due to pay and b) perceived employer inducement due to support on the different types of employee motivation (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation) and perceived supervisor support, which may in turn affect employees' effort at work. Other determinants of effort like psychological contract breach and monitoring were also included in our proposed model.…”

Quantum Maxwell's demon assisted by non-Markovian effects by Poulsen, Kasper, Majland, Marco, Lloyd, Seth, Kjaergaard, Morten, Zinner, Nikolaj T

“…In thermodynamics, the demon is an intelligent being who utilizes the entropic nature of information to sort excitations between reservoirs, thus lowering the total entropy. So far, implementations of Maxwell's demon have largely been limited to Markovian baths. …”

Thermorefringent noise in crystalline optical materials by Kryhin, Serhii, Hall, Evan D., Sudhir, Vivishek

“…This theory—in conjunction with poorly understood anisotropic thermal stress coefficients of crystalline coatings—predict that thermo-refringent noise in crystalline mirror coatings may be lurking within an order of magnitude of Brownian noise (below 100 Hz). Thus, in order to appreciate the full promise of crystalline optical materials, a more precise understanding of their anisotropic material constants is necessary. …”

A simplified formulation to estimate influence of gearbox parameters on the rattle noise by Zhang, Jidong, Sui, Wentao, Dhupia, Jaspreet

“…This method is then verified by comparing the analytical results with the simulation results from a dynamic model built in SIMPACK as well as previously published experimental results. Thus, the proposed analytical evaluation method can optimize the gearbox specifications at the design stage to reduce the gear rattle noise level.…”
