Effects of the traditional medicine, Dai-Ken-Chu-To on obesity and glucose intolerance induced by long-term feeding on a high-fat diet in mice

The traditional medicine Dai-Ken-Chu-To (DK) is used to treat gastrointestinal diseases. The drug may have an anti-obesity effect through its gastrointestinal activities. In this study, we examined the effects of DK on obesity and glucose intolerance induced by long-term feeding on a HF diet. Male C57BL/6N mice (5 weeks old) consumed a HF diet, a HF diet plus 1% or 3% DK extract, or a HF diet p...

MAPFS-DAI, an extension of OGSA-DAI based on a parallel file system

Since current applications demand access to a huge volume of data, new and sophisticated I/O systems are required. Several mass storage systems have been developed from different institutions to access their own data repositories. These systems expose native interfaces not interoperable among them. In order to deal with this requirement, OGSA-DAI has emerged to provide a uniform access to data ...

Chu Spaces

Jeannette Bigler , Chu

A method is presented for the analysis of fluorescently labeled random amplified polymorphic DNA (FRAPD) fragments. A DNA sequencer and collection and analysis software were used to estimate the sizes of DNA fragments based on their mobilities relative to in-lane size markers. This allowed confident identification and comparison of FRAPD markers both within and between polyacrylamide gels. In c...

The Chu Construction

We take another look at the Chu construction and show how to simplify it by looking at it as a module category in a trivial Chu category This simpli es the construction substantially especially in the case of a non symmetric biclosed monoidal category We also show that if the original category is accessible then for any of a large class of polynomial like functors the category of coalgebras has...
