Voltage and current unbalance problems of power networks due to AC electrified railway systems are studied and their influences such as the voltage unbalance factor and the current negative sequence contribution factor injected to the network are calculated. Several methods can be used for reducing the power quality unbalance problems which have been proposed and the best of them is chosen by c...

Purpose: The CD52-targeted antibody alemtuzumab induces major clinical responses in a group of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The mechanism underlying this drug effect remains unknown. Experimental Design:We asked whether neoplastic stem cells (NSC) in patients with MDS (n1⁄4 29) or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML; n 1⁄4 62) express CD52. Results: As assessed by flow cytometry, ...

Wintertime freshwater transport into the Gulf of Maine (GoM) is typically controlled by a seasonal velocity increase in fresh upstream Nova Scotia Current (NSC). Repeat satellite observations from Soil Moisture Active Passive mission have mapped significant GoM surface salinity anomalies four five recent winters. These data are used combination with Jordan basin buoy and model datasets to inves...

Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation is a promising treatment to improve the recovery after brain ischemia. However, how the survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of implanted NSC are influenced by endogenous neuronal activity remains unclear. In this work, we used optogenetic techniques to control the activity of striatal neurons and investigated how their activity affected...

BACKGROUND To optimize the antitumor activity of oncrasin-1, a small molecule identified through synthetic lethality screening on isogenic K-Ras mutant tumor cells, we developed several analogues and determined their antitumor activities. Here we investigated in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity of NSC-743380 (1-[(3-chlorophenyl) methyl]-1H-indole-3-methanol, oncrasin-72), one of most potent...

The high minimum light requirement of eelgrass Zosfera marina L. suggests that this species has difficulty in maintaining a positive carbon balance except under high fight conditions. The carbon balance of Z. marina can be studied by following seasonal changes in non&ructural carbohydrate (NSC) reserves, however, little is known about the seasonal variation in NSC reserves in seagrasses or the ...

Plants that store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) may rely on carbon reserves to survive carbon-limiting stress, assuming that reserves can be mobilized. We asked whether carbon reserves decrease in resource stressed seedlings, and if NSC allocation is related to species' relative stress tolerances. We tested the effects of stress (shade, drought, and defoliation) on NSC in seedlings of five ...
