Sleep Apnea Detection by Means of Analyzing Electrocardiographic Signal
PublicationObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition of cyclic, periodic ob-struction (stenosis) of the upper respiratory tract. OSA could be associated with serious cardiovascular problems, such as hypertension, arrhythmias, hearth failure or peripheral vascular disease. Understanding the way of connection between OSA and cardiovascular diseases is important to choose proper treatment strategy. In this paper, we present a method for integrated...

The Analysis of Patients' Airflow with Respect to Early Detection of Sleep Apnea
PublicationThe paper discusses the analysis of the respiratory events of sleep apnea patients. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the patient's airflow. As a result of the conducted analysis we proposed an algorithm which establishes an individual respiratory pattern for each subject. The algorithm could be implemented in the measurement - control system which manages the prosthetic device applying positive airway pressure. Its...

Influence of sheet/purlin fasteners spacing on shear flexibility of the diaphragm
PublicationThe paper presents the influence of sheet/purlin fasteners location (in reference to trapezoidal profile cross section) on shear flexibility of the cladding acting as a diaphragm. Analytical procedures were presented and their limitations were discussed. Next, selected schemes of fasteners location, known from engineering practice, but not included in European codes and recommendations, were analysed numerically in order to observe...

Induction of immune responses in sheep by vaccination with liposome-entrapped DNA complexes encoding Toxoplasma gondii MIC3 gene
PublicationToxoplasma gondii is a parasite that has been extensively studied due to its medical and veterinary importance in terminating pregnancies. Consequently, a satisfactory vaccine is required to control itsadverse effects on pregnant animals. The microneme protein, MIC3, is a major adhesion protein that binds to the surface of host cells and parasites, and is therefore a potential vaccine against T. gondii.The viability of MIC3 as...

Thermo-resonance analysis of an excited graphene sheet using a new approach
PublicationForced vibration of graphene nanoplate based on a refined plate theory in conjunction with higher-order nonlocal strain gradient theory in the thermal environment has been investigated. Regarding the higher-order nonlocal strain gradient theory, both stress nonlocality and size-dependent effects are taken into account, so the equilibrium equations which are governing on the graphene sheet have been formulated by the theory....

Serodiagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection in farm animals (horses, swine, and sheep) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using chimeric antigens
PublicationToxoplasma gondii infects all warm-blooded animals including humans, causing serious public health problems and great economic loss in the animal husbandry. Commonly used serological tests for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis involve preparation of whole Toxoplasma lysate antigen (TLA) from tachyzoites. The production of this antigen is associated with high costs and lengthy preparation and the possibility of staff infection. There are...

The immune responses of sheep after DNA immunization with Toxoplasma gondii MAG1 antigen - with and without co-expression of ovine interleukin 6
PublicationW niniejszej pracy porównano odpowiedź immunologiczną owiec, którym podano domięśniowo plazmid DNA zawierający gen kodujący białko macierzy cyst tkankowych (MAG1) Toxoplasma gondii - pojedynczo bądź z DNA plazmidu kodującego owczą interleukinę 6 (IL-6). Dzięki wykorzystaniu plazmidu zawierającego gen mag1 odnotowano podwyższony poziom przeciwciał IgG1 oraz IgG2 w surowicach szczepionych zwierząt.

Evaluation of immune responses in sheep induced by DNA immunization with genes encoding GRA1, GRA4, GRA6 and GRA7 antigens of Toxoplasma gondii
PublicationW niniejszej pracy oszacowano odpowiedź immunologiczną owiec szczepionych domięśniowo szczepionkami DNA zawierającymi geny kodujące cztery antygeny granul o dużej gęstości (GAR1, GRA4, GRA6 oraz GRA7) Toxoplasma gondii. Wykazano, iż wykorzystanie DNA plazmidu pGRA7 indukuje znaczący poziom przeciwciał IgG-2 anty-GRA7 oraz IFN-gammma, podczas gdy iniekcja pGRA1, pGRA4 oraz pGRA6 stymuluje odpowiedź przeciwciał IgG1 z ograniczoną...

Modulation of immune response to Toxoplasma gondii in sheep by immunization with a DNA vaccine encoding ROP1 antigen as a fusion protein with ovine CD154
PublicationNiniejszy artykuł prezentuje porównanie skuteczności działania w immunizacji owiec dwóch antytoksoplazmozowych szczepionek DNA: kodującej białko ROP1 Toxoplasma gondii oraz kodującej w/w antygen i owczą cząsteczkę CD154 lokalizowaną na powierzchni aktywowanych komórek T. Otrzymane wyniki badań pokazały, iż domięśniowe podanie szczepionki DNA zawierającej gen kodujący ROP1 i CD154 znacząco wzmacnia odpowiedź immunologiczną szczepionych...

A Compact Basis for Reliable Fast Frequency Sweep via the Reduced-Basis Method
PublicationA reliable reduced-order model (ROM) for fast frequency sweep in time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations by means of the reduced-basis method is detailed. Taking frequency as a parameter, the electromagnetic field in microwave circuits does not arbitrarily vary as frequency changes, but evolves on a very low-dimensional manifold. Approximating this low-dimensional manifold by a low dimension subspace, namely, reduced-basis space, gives...

Automated detection of sleep apnea and hypopnea events based on robust airflow envelope tracking
PublicationThe paper presents a new approach to detection of apnea/hypopnea events, in the presence of artifacts and breathing irregularities, from a single-channel airflow record. The proposed algorithm identifies segments of signal affected by a high amplitude modulation corresponding to apnea/hypopnea events. It is shown that a robust airflow envelope—free of breathing artifacts—improves effectiveness of the diagnostic process and allows...
