    Abstract: A device and a signal processing method that can monitor human memory performance by recognizing and characterizing high-gamma (65-250 Hz) and beta (14-30 Hz) band oscillations in the left Brodmann Area 40 (BA40) of the brain that correspond with the strength of memory encoding or correct recall. The signal processing method detects high-gamma and beta band oscillations in the electrical signals recorded from left BA40, and quantifies the spectral content, power, duration, onset, and offset of the oscillations. The oscillation's properties are used to classify the subject's memory performance on the basis of a comparison with the subject's prior human memory performance and the properties of the corresponding oscillations. A report of the subject's current memory performance can be utilized in a closed loop brain stimulation device that serves the purpose of enhancing human memory performance.

    Abstract: A method of monitoring physiological conditions including an acoustic measurement device and a remote controller. The remove controller configured to measure physiological conditions; calculate absolute tidal volume, a direction of tidal volume, and a rate of change of tidal volume; correlate absolute tidal volume, a direction of tidal volume, and a rate of change of tidal volume to a risk score; calculate a direction trend and rate of change for each physiological condition; correlate the direction trend and rate of change for each physiological condition; detect predefined patterns in the direction trend and rate of change of the measured physiological condition at the predetermined interval; and generating at least one from the group consisting of an alert, an alarm, and a medical treatment if the risk score defined on the predefined scale exceeds a first predetermined risk score threshold and at least one predefined pattern is detected.

    Abstract: A method for specifically and efficiently quantifying the expression of targeted RNA variants with specific terminal sequences suitable to identify multiple isoforms bearing complex heterogeneity in terminal sequences by hybridizing a 5′-Dbs-adapter to the 5′-end of target RNAs, wherein the 5′-Dbs-adapter has a stem-loop structure whose protruding 5′-end base-pairs with the 5′-end of target RNAs, and wherein the loop region of 5′-Dbs-adapter contains a base-lacking spacer which will terminate reverse transcription in a subsequent step; hybridizing a 3′Db-adapter to the 3′-end of target RNAs, wherein the 3′-Db-adapter has a stem-loop structure whose protruding 3′-end base-pairs with the 3′-end of target RNAs; ligating both adapters with target RNAs by RN12 ligation to form a “dumbbell-like” structure; and, amplifying and quantifying the ligation product by RT-PCR.

    Abstract: Applications of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) based atmospheric pressure plasma jets are often limited by the relatively small area of treatment due to their 1D configuration. This system generates 2D plasma jets permitting fast treatment of larger targets. DBD evolution starts with formation of transient anode glow, and continues with development of cathode-directed streamers. The anode glow can propagate as an ionization wave along the dielectric surface through and outside of the discharge gap. Plasma propagation is not limited to 1D geometry such as tubes, and can be organized in a form of a rectangular plasma jet, or other 2D or 3D shapes. Also described are a method for generating 2D plasma jets and use of the 2D plasma jets for cancer therapy.
