Additional file 1. Supplemental Fig 1. BM-MSCs cocultured with splenocytes induced the Treg population and increased the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1. Splenocyte (5× 106 cells) were freshly isolated from mice and cocultured with BM-MSCs (1×105 cells) for 72 h. Representative flow cytometry scatter plots (A) and qualification results (B) confirmed CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs from splenocytes and splenocytes+BM-MSCs. The cocultured supernatant were examined IL-10 and TGF-β1 by ELISA. SEM ± SD, **p

The development of technology and the growth in human population had resulted in a surge in energy demand and biomass waste production. Metal-air battery (MAB) is a potential energy storage technology with high theoretical energy density and safety. However, the conventional air cathode material synthesized from carbon nanotube (CNT) is rather costly. In this study, several biomass wastes such as oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB), garlic peel (GP) and oil palm frond (OPF) were investigated to identify a suitable greener and efficient precursor to syntheelesize carbon nanoparticle as air electrode material for MAB. The carbon materials were synthesized through carbonization of precursor at different temperatures of 450 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C before activation with potassium hydroxide (KOH) through wet impregnation method. The materials synthesized were evaluated based on its chemical and physical properties through characterization using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersion x-ray (SEM-EDX), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis. Based on the experiments conducted, it was found that the suitable precursor was the OPF as it displayed a better tunability for enhanced electrical conductivity as it was able to achieve smaller sized particles with higher specific surface area of 548.26 m2/g and hierarchical porous structure at 700 °C compared to OPEFB and GP. This study proved that OPF could be a promising alternative to CNT as an electrode material which is more sustainable and cost efficient for energy storage application such as MAB.

In this paper, we utilize simulation to estimate the shift value in the panel. Topology optimization is applied to improve the design of aluminum extrusion and lighten the weight of the product. Moreover, optical optimization of LED with lens is carried out to diminish the thickness of the curved display.

This paper provides a way to quantify thermal mura by heat stress on panel using thermal and structure coupling simulation method. Meanwhile, we use this method to investigate the influence of heat sink width and propose its critical value under different power density, which is meaningful to module design.

A new frame-type backcover with skeleton brackets is introduced in this paper. It is shown that the frame-type backcover satisfies strength, heat dissipation and optical cosmetic requirements. Meanwhile, backcover cost and weight are decreased by 15.9%~19.3% and 52%~56% respectively, which suggests an economical way for module design and manufacture.

As the candidate for the next generation information infrastructure, The grid is catched the close attention of research workers in recent years. Grid resource management makes up of resource discovery, resource allocation, resource location, resource monitoring, and resource renew and so on. In the middle of them, that resource discovery, resource allocation and resource location are implemented needs a foundation that is reasonable resource description and register. So in the grid, How to describe the grid resource is the key issue. The paper presents a resource description model based on wsrf.

The embedded technology in the 21st century is one of the most viable high-tech, highly practical, comprehensive and applied. Embedded system is a relatively new course, but also have a strong application background, this is the need for the University's undergraduate curriculum. In this paper, combining the embedded system experiments planning and construction of the base of Computer Science and Technology department in our school, around embedded system experiment course, as well as the existing problems carry out the research and exploration, with the goal of enhancing student training in basic skills, training and improving the students hands-on innovation.

Software testing is an important link of software quality guarantee, regarding to the embedded software testing that is much more compelxed, needing a clear stage development test model that better controlled. The article discussed the model that already existed, further excavates the parallelism between test stages, trys to proposes a improved V model, This model make the software testing pass through the each stage of software development cycle, That can discover software mistakes as early as possible simultaneously unify the actual small software development project-GPRS extender board correspondence experiment, has proven the accuracy and the validity of this model.
