Microsoft Office for Mac has for long been criticized for its lack of support of Unicode and BiDi languages, notably Arabic and Hebrew. This has not changed in the Office 2008 version. Microsoft Office 2010 (also called Office 2010 and Office 14) is the current version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite for Microsoft Windows, and the successor to Microsoft Office 2007. With Office 2010, users are in control, getting things done and producing amazing results however and wherever they work best. Ms Office 2010 is the last version of Microsoft Office with support for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 due to Office 2013 requiring Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or Windows RT. Adaptive hardware (Ugurdag, 2006) reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve its performance in the context of internal or external changes. Adaptation at hardware levels increases the system capabilities beyond what is possible with software-only solutions. Algorithms, techniques, and their implementation in hardware are developed over a diverse variety of applications. The methodology of the On-Off-Line adaptable processors (Todoroi & Micusha, 2012) support development of adaptable software and hardware. Automatic creation of the Off-Line adaptable processors are proved. Development of the On-Line and On-Off-Line adaptable processors based on Off-Line processing creation method is proposed (Todoroi, Micu^a, & Todoroi, 2009; Todoroi, 2008a, 2008b)展开更多

The performance of this speech coder has been improved by using the dynamic features generated by an algorithm for speech parameter generation from HMM because the generated speech parameter vectors reflect not only the means of static and dynamic feature vectors but also the covariance of those. The encoder part is equivalent to an HMM based phoneme recognizer and transmits phoneme indexes, state durations, pitch information and speaker characteristics adaptation vectors to the decoder. The decoder receives those messages and concatenates phoneme HMM sequence according to the phoneme indexes. Then the decoder generates a sequence of mel cepstral coefficient vectors using HMM based speech parameter generation technique. Finally the decoder synthesizes speech by directly exciting the MLSA(Mel Log Spectrum Approximation) filter with the generated mel cepstral coefficient vectors, according to the pitch information.展开更多

Hydrogels have emerged as a promising biomaterial for promoting peripheral nerve regeneration, while conventional hydrogels are generally unable to support endogenous cell infiltration due to limited network dynamics, thereby compromising the therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we present a cell adaptable hydrogel containing a tissue-mimetic silk fibroin network and a dynamically crosslinked bisphosphonated-alginate network. The dynamic network of this hydrogel can respond to cell-generated forces to undergo the cell-mediated reorganization, thereby effectively facilitating the rapid infiltration of Schwann cells and macrophages, as well as the ingrowth of axons. We further show that the magnesium ions released from the hydrogel not only promote neurite outgrowth but also regulate the polarization of macrophages in a sequential manner, contributing to the formation of a regenerative microenvironment. Therefore, this hydrogel effectively prevents muscle atrophy and promotes the regeneration and functional recovery of nerve defects of up to 10 mm within 8 weeks. The findings from this study demonstrate that adaptable hydrogels are promising inductive biomaterials for enhancing the therapeutic outcomes of peripheral nerve injury treatments.展开更多

The generation of these new neurons in the olfactory bulb supports both structural and functional plasticity, aiding in circuit remodeling triggered by memory and learning processes. However, the presence of these neurons, coupled with the cellular diversity within the olfactory bulb, presents an ongoing challenge in understanding its network organization and function. Moreover,the continuous integration of new neurons in the olfactory bulb plays a pivotal role in regulating olfactory information processing. This adaptive process responds to changes in epithelial composition and contributes to the formation of olfactory memories by modulating cellular connectivity within the olfactory bulb and interacting intricately with higher-order brain regions. The role of adult neurogenesis in olfactory bulb functions remains a topic of debate. Nevertheless, the functionality of the olfactory bulb is intricately linked to the organization of granule cells around mitral and tufted cells. This organizational pattern significantly impacts output, network behavior, and synaptic plasticity, which are crucial for olfactory perception and memory. Additionally, this organization is further shaped by axon terminals originating from cortical and subcortical regions. Despite the crucial role of olfactory bulb in brain functions and behaviors related to olfaction, these complex and highly interconnected processes have not been comprehensively studied as a whole. Therefore, this manuscript aims to discuss our current understanding and explore how neural plasticity and olfactory neurogenesis contribute to enhancing the adaptability of the olfactory system. These mechanisms are thought to support olfactory learning and memory, potentially through increased complexity and restructuring of neural network structures, as well as the addition of new granule granule cells that aid in olfactory adaptation. Additionally, the manuscript underscores the importance of employing precise methodologies to elucidate the specific roles of adult neurogenesis amidst conflicting data and varying experimental paradigms. Understanding these processes is essential for gaining insights into the complexities of olfactory function and behavior.展开更多

Herein, we present a cell adaptable hydrogel containing a tissue-mimetic silk fibroin network and a dynamically crosslinked bisphosphonated-alginate network. The dynamic network of this hydrogel can respond to cell-generated forces to undergo the cell-mediated reorganization, thereby effectively facilitating the rapid infiltration of Schwann cells and macrophages, as well as the ingrowth of axons. We further show that the magnesium ions released from the hydrogel not only promote neurite outgrowth but also regulate the polarization of macrophages in a sequential manner, contributing to the formation of a regenerative microenvironment. Therefore, this hydrogel effectively prevents muscle atrophy and promotes the regeneration and functional recovery of nerve defects of up to 10 mm within 8 weeks. The findings from this study demonstrate that adaptable hydrogels are promising inductive biomaterials for enhancing the therapeutic outcomes of peripheral nerve injury treatments.

文摘Covalent adaptable networks(CANs),comprising polymer networks crosslinked by dynamic covalent bonds(DCBs),have garnered considerable attention as sustainable materials.Mastering the stress relaxation of CANs is essential for controlling their viscoelastic properties.An unexpected acceleration of stress relaxation has been observed in CANs containing dual dynamic bonds.The dynamic behavior of the second dynamic bonds can accelerate stress relaxation and lower the relaxation activation energy of dual dynamic CANs compared to analogous CANs that rely on only one type of DCB.These findings complement current approaches that utilize catalysts or adjust network parameters.In this minireview,we summarize the synergistic acceleration effects in various CANs containing dual dynamic bonds.We classify these effects based on the second dynamic bonds,including noncovalent bonds,mechanical bonds,and the second DCBs.We also discuss the mechanisms behind this synergy.Finally,we highlight the challenges and offer perspectives on harnessing the synergistic effects of these dual dynamic systems to expand the chemistry and applications of CANs.

文摘Achieving a straightforward design of tough,printable,and adaptable polymeric eutectogels is still challenging in related fields due to the uncontrollable polymerization and solvent-exchanging processes,and inherent contrasting multiple networks.Here,we report a one-step synergistic strategy based on ruthenium chemistry-catalyzed photopolymerization and solvent effect for preparing high-performance eutectogels.This orthogonal ruthenium photochemistry helps multinetworks formation via phenol-coupling of gelatin and copolymerization of acrylamide(AAm)and[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium tetrafluoroborate(META)monomers in seconds.The obvious difference in the supramolecular interactions of free AAm monomers and polymerized units in P(AAm-co-META)with deep eutectic solvents(DESs)significantly promotes the microphase-separation behavior in eutectogels.Consequently,the in situ polymerization and microphase-separation behavior enable the as-prepared eutectogel materials to have excellent mechanical properties(stress of∼1.2 MPa),toughness(∼4.0 MJ m^(−3)),elasticity,adaptivity,and conductivity(∼0.5 S m^(−1)at room temperature).Also,the critical strength of the resultant eutectogels can be modulated by varying the DES constituents.This rapid and well-controlled synergistic approach is compatible with extrusion printing techniques to make flexible sensors with high sensitivities and response times to detect pressure in a range of 0–500 kPa.Such a general and simple strategy has application potential in biological,engineering,and material sciences.

文摘Covalent adaptive networks(CANs)are capable of undergoing segment rearrangement after being heated,which endows the materials with excellent self-healing and reprocessing performance,providing an efficient solution to the environment pollution caused by the plastic wastes.The main challenge remains in developing CANs with both excellent reprocessing performance and creep-resistance property.In this study,a series of CANs containing dynamic covalent benzopyrazole-urea bonds were developed based on the addition reaction between benzopyrazole and isocyanate groups.DFT calculation confirmed that relatively low dissociation energy is obtained through undergoing a five-member ring transition state,confirming excellent dynamic property of the benzopyrazole-urea bonds.As verified by the FTIR results,this nice dynamic property can be well maintained after incorporating the benzopyrazole-urea bonds into polymer networks.Excellent self-healing and reprocessing performance is observed by the 3-ABP/PDMS elastomers owing to the dynamic benzopyrazole-urea bonds.Phase separation induced by the aggregation of the hard segments locked the benzopyrazole-urea bonds,which also makes the elastomers display excellent creep-resistance performance.This hard phase locking strategy provides an efficient approach to design CANs materials with both excellent reprocessing and creep-resistance performance.

文摘Hydrogels are three-dimensional platforms that serve as substitutes for native extracellular matrix.These materials are starting to play important roles in regenerative medicine because of their similarities to native matrix in water content and flexibility.It would be very advantagoues for researchers to be able to regulate cell behavior and fate with specific hydrogels that have tunable mechanical properties as biophysical cues.Recent developments in dynamic chemistry have yielded designs of adaptable hydrogels that mimic dynamic nature of extracellular matrix.The current review provides a comprehensive overview for adaptable hydrogel in regenerative medicine as follows.First,we outline strategies to design adaptable hydrogel network with reversible linkages according to previous findings in supramolecular chemistry and dynamic covalent chemistry.Next,we describe the mechanism of dynamic mechanical microenvironment influence cell behaviors and fate,including how stress relaxation influences on cell behavior and how mechanosignals regulate matrix remodeling.Finally,we highlight techniques such as bioprinting which utilize adaptable hydrogel in regenerative medicine.We conclude by discussing the limitations and challenges for adaptable hydrogel,and we present perspectives for future studies.
文摘Recyclable thermosets and thermoset composites with covalent adaptable networks(CANs,or dynamic covalent networks) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the combined merits of excellent mechanical and thermal properties,and chemical stabilities of traditional thermosets and recyclable,remoldable,and reprocessable attributes of thermoplastics.In this paper,we present an overview of the current strategies for synthesizing recyclable thermosets based on CANs,which involve recyclability,reprocessability,and possible rehealability.The recent literature examples are categorized based on the underlying controlled-cleavable linkages such as transesterification,DA/retro-DA chemistry,imine bonds,disulfide metathesis,dynamic B-O bonds,hemiaminals/hexahydrotriazines,and acetal linkages.Various degradation and malleability methods and resulting mechanical properties of the recycled thermosets and thermoset composites are presented.The emerging applications of recyclable thermosets and thermoset composites,with emphasis on their usage in adhesives,biomedical materials,wearable devices,coatings,and 3D printing materials,are also illustrated.Finally,a perspective on the challenges and future perspectives is briefly summarized.

文摘Covalent adaptable networks(CANs),which combine the benefits of traditional thermosets and thermoplastics,have attracted considerable attention.The dynamics of reversible covalent bonds and mobility of polymer chains in CANs determine the topological rearrangement of the polymeric network,which is critical to their superior features,such as self-healing and reprocessing.Herein,we introduce an ionic liquid to dimethylglyoximeurethane(DOU)-based CANs to regulate both reversible bond dynamics and polymer chain mobility by cooperative chemical coupling and physical lubrication.Small-molecule model experiments demonstrated that ionic liquids can catalyze dynamic DOU bond exchange.Ionic liquid also breaks the hydrogen bonds between polymeric chains,thereby increasing their mobility.As a combined result,the activation energy of the dissociation of the dynamic network decreased from 110 to 85 kJ mol^(−1).Furthermore,as a functional moiety,the ionic liquid imparts new properties to CANs and will greatly expand their applications.For example,the consequent conductivity of resultant ionic CAN(iCAN)has demonstrated a great power to build high-performance multifunctional wearable electronics responsive to multiple stimulations including temperature,strain,and humidity.This study provides a new design principle that simultaneously uses the chemical and physical effects of two structural components to regulate material properties enabling novel applications.

文摘The investigation of covalent adaptable networks(CANs)is expanding rapidly due to the growing demand for sustainable materials,as CANs show thermoset-like behavior and yet can be reprocessed,recycled,and healed.However,most of the CANs reported so far have a trade-off between mechanical strength and reversible properties and often show performance reduction after reprocessing and/or recycling.Herein,we designed and synthesized a coordination adaptable network(CoAN)by crosslinking low-molecular-weight monomers with abundant coordination bonds.Owning to its excellent variable-stiffness property,leading to high stiffness at ambient conditions and low viscosity at elevated temperature,the as-prepared CoAN showed high mechanical rigidity but could be reprocessed rapidly and recycled at mild conditions.After reprocessing or recycling,the mechanical properties of the samples showed no performance reduction,compared with a pristine sample.Density functional theory calculations showed that free thiol ligands played a key role in reducing the activation energy for bond exchange.When used as binders for composites,the embedded carbon fibers could be recycled rapidly and still maintain the original microstructure.The material also showed temperature-sensitive dielectric and conductive properties due to the release of metal ions upon heating.Overall,such performances are superior among the CANs reported previously.
文摘Adult neurogenesis persists after birth in the subventricular zone, with new neurons migrating to the granule cell layer and glomerular layers of the olfactory bulb, where they integrate into existing circuitry as inhibitory interneurons. The generation of these new neurons in the olfactory bulb supports both structural and functional plasticity, aiding in circuit remodeling triggered by memory and learning processes. However, the presence of these neurons, coupled with the cellular diversity within the olfactory bulb, presents an ongoing challenge in understanding its network organization and function. Moreover,the continuous integration of new neurons in the olfactory bulb plays a pivotal role in regulating olfactory information processing. This adaptive process responds to changes in epithelial composition and contributes to the formation of olfactory memories by modulating cellular connectivity within the olfactory bulb and interacting intricately with higher-order brain regions. The role of adult neurogenesis in olfactory bulb functions remains a topic of debate. Nevertheless, the functionality of the olfactory bulb is intricately linked to the organization of granule cells around mitral and tufted cells. This organizational pattern significantly impacts output, network behavior, and synaptic plasticity, which are crucial for olfactory perception and memory. Additionally, this organization is further shaped by axon terminals originating from cortical and subcortical regions. Despite the crucial role of olfactory bulb in brain functions and behaviors related to olfaction, these complex and highly interconnected processes have not been comprehensively studied as a whole. Therefore, this manuscript aims to discuss our current understanding and explore how neural plasticity and olfactory neurogenesis contribute to enhancing the adaptability of the olfactory system. These mechanisms are thought to support olfactory learning and memory, potentially through increased complexity and restructuring of neural network structures, as well as the addition of new granule granule cells that aid in olfactory adaptation. Additionally, the manuscript underscores the importance of employing precise methodologies to elucidate the specific roles of adult neurogenesis amidst conflicting data and varying experimental paradigms. Understanding these processes is essential for gaining insights into the complexities of olfactory function and behavior.
