The subject of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) standardization is becoming increasingly important to the telecommunications and information processing communities. A number of OS1 standards have been completed, others are near completion, and initial product offerings by vendors have begun. This paper briefly defines what OS1 is, the interrelationships of the various standards bodies, and th...

An investigational anticancer agent that contains a thiophene moiety, 3-[(quinolin-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-N-[4-trifluoromethox)phenyl] thiophene-2-carboxamide (OSI-930), was tested to investigate its ability to modulate the activities of several cytochrome P450 enzymes. Results showed that OSI-930 inactivated purified, recombinant cytochrome P450 (P450) 3A4 in the reconstituted system in a mechanis...

INTRODUCTION Modern computer networks are characterized by layered protocol architectures, allowing network designs to accommodate unlimited applications and interconnection techniques. This layered approach allows protocols to become modularized; that is, developed independently and put together with other protocols in such a way as to create one complete protocol. The recognized basis of prot...
