Organic foods have great importance in environment sustainability and human nutrition. However, they are commercialized with greatly reduced shelf life, especially fruits and vegetables. Considerable amounts of vegetables are lost due to their rapid deterioration by microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. In this work cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDE) produced by Trichoderma asperellum (T00...

People and animals often demonstrate strong attraction or aversion to options with uncertain or risky rewards, yet the neural substrate of subjective risk preferences has rarely been investigated. Here we show that monkeys systematically preferred the risky target in a visual gambling task in which they chose between two targets offering the same mean reward but differing in reward uncertainty....

We deal with the numerical solution of time-dependent convection-diffusion-reaction equations. We combine the local projection stabilization method for the space discretization with two different time discretization schemes: the continuous Galerkin-Petrov (cGP) method and the discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method of polynomial of degree k. We establish the optimal error estimates and present numer...

THIS PAPER IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE STUDENT PAPER AWARD. It has been shown recently that the dirtypaper coding is the optimal strategy for maximizing the sum rate of multiple-input multiple-output Gaussian broadcast channels (MIMO BC). Moreover, by the channel duality, the nonconvex MIMO BC sum rate problem can be transformed to the convex dual MIMO multiple-access channel (MIMO MAC) problem with a ...

Background: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) enables physicians to recommend advanced cancer treatments at the individual level by identifying patients that are likely and unlikely benefit from targeted therapy or immunotherapy (IO). We assessed utility of CGP-based testing for biomarkers associated with approved therapies, therapies in precision medicine basket clinical trials (CT) across...

The present study was conducted with the aim being to investigate the effect γ-aminobutyric acid type B (GABAB) receptor activation have on spatial cognitive function and hippocampal neurones found in the rat models of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM rat models were then established, randomized, and subsequently assigned into normal control (NC), T2DM, T2DM + chemical grade propylene (CGP...

OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Web-based program, Monitor-Rx, in identifying older adults at risk for drug-related geriatric syndromes or inappropriate medicines. DESIGN This prospective pilot study compared medication related risks generated by the Web-based program with those identified by a certified geriatric pharmacist (CGP). SETTING Wisconsin-ba...

UNLABELLED Cardiac sympathetic function plays an important role in the regulation of left ventricular (LV) function and the pathophysiology of LV dysfunction. (11)C-CGP-12177 ((11)C-CGP) has been used to assess myocardial beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) density in vivo using PET. The aim of this study is to measure myocardial beta-AR density in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy and to...

In this study I attempted to assess, in rats, the role of AT1 and AT2 angiotensin receptor subtypes in the phenomenon of improved learning and memory after an intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of angiotensin II (Ang II) and Ang II (3-7). Selective AT1 (losartan, 1 mg) or AT2 (CGP 42112 A, 2 micrograms) receptor antagonist was dissolved in 2 microliters of saline and given to the left cere...
