This study provides the scientific basis for the anti-inflammatory effects of licorice extract in a t-BHP (tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide)-induced liver damage model and the effects of its ingredients, glycyrrhizic acid (GA), liquiritin (LQ) and liquiritigenin (LG), in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated microglial cell model. The GA, LQ and LG inhibited the LPS-stimulated elevation of pro-infl...

Let I = [a, b] ⊂ R, let 1 < q ≤ p <∞, let u and v be positive functions with u ∈ Lp′(I), v ∈ Lq(I) and let T : Lp(I) → Lq(I) be the Hardy-type operator given by

BACKGROUND Tibial eminence fractures occur most commonly in skeletally immature children. Several techniques using physeal-sparing fracture fixation have been described, but their structural properties have not been evaluated. PURPOSE To determine the strength and resistance to displacement of physeal-sparing techniques used to fix tibial eminence fractures. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laborato...

The flow coupled liquid level control systems are extensively used e. g. in chemical processes and refineries in the petrochemical industry. These processes are characterized by high-order dynamic behaviour or large time constants and time-delays. Time-delays (dead time) are mainly caused by the duration needed to transport mass, energy or information. In many cases time-delay is caused by the ...

Let Lq(s) be the product of Dirichlet L-functions modulo q. Then Lq(s) has at most one zero in the region Rs ≥ 1− 1 6.3970 logmax(q, q|Is|) .

Neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering measurements by the COHERENT collaboration provide us with a unique capability to test various beyond standard model scenarios. In this work, we constrain scalar leptoquarks (LQs) using data. LQs arise in many extensions of Standard Model (SM). Generally, mass is assumed be very high avoid bounds from proton decay. However, there are low-scale LQ models whic...

BACKGROUND High-risk (hr)HPV testing plays an important role in primary cervical cancer screening. Subsequent hrHPV genotyping might contribute to better risk stratification. The majority of hrHPV tests do not include identification of individual hrHPV genotypes. OBJECTIVES The digene HPV Genotyping RH Test (strip-based) and LQ Test (xMAP-based) allow genotyping of GP5+/6+ amplimers, but thei...

Proof of Lemma 1: This retailer would see (y/L) of the total demand, hence the cumulative distribution function of its demand is H(s) = F(sL/y) where F() gives the cumulative distribution function for total market demand, x.

One of the fundamental tools in radiation biology is a formalism describing time-dose relationships. For example, there is a need for reliable predictions of radiotherapeutic isoeffect doses when the temporal exposure pattern is changed. The most commonly used tool is now the linear-quadratic (LQ) formalism, which describes fractionation and dose-protraction effects through a particular functio...

In the heavy quark limit, the heavy baryon LQ (Q5b or c) can be regarded as composed of a heavy quark and a scalar light diquark which has good spin and flavor quantum numbers. Based on this picture we establish the Bethe-Salpeter ~BS! equation for LQ in the leading order of 1/mQ expansion. With the kernel containing both the scalar confinement and one-gluon-exchange terms we solve the BS equat...
