Semen cassiae is the ripe seed of Cassia obtusifolia L. or Cassia tora L. of the family Leguminosae. In traditional Chinese medicine, the two forms of Semen cassiae are raw Semen cassiae (R-SC) and parched Semen cassiae (P-SC). To clarify the processing mechanism of Semen cassiae, the pharmacokinetics of R-SC and P-SC extracts were examined. A simple, rapid, sensitive ultra-high-performance liq...

A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) composed of a battery and super-capacitor (SC) can make full use of advantages in energy and power density, which can further improve the performance of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Most studies have been limited to configuration and control to reduce the burden and prolong the life cycle of the battery, seldom focusing on the redesign of energy manageme...

Pre-frailty is a transitional stage between health and frailty. Previous studies have demonstrated that individuals with pre-frailty experience declines in cognitive gait performances compared healthy individuals. However, the basic neural mechanism underlying this needs to be clarified. In cross-sectional study, twenty-one older adults fifteen underwent three conditions, including single task ...

Design of a high speed capacitive digital-to-analog converter (SC DAC) is presented for 65 nm CMOS technology. SC pipeline architecture is used followed by an output driver. For GHz frequency operation with output voltage swing suitable for wireless applications (300 mVpp) the DAC performance is shown to be limited by the clock feed-through and settling effects in the SC array rather than by th...

John Weeks is an economist specializing in development economics and macroeconomic issues. He has taught for many years at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, where he is Professor Emeritus. He has posted in his blog scathing critiques of the economic policy applied by the conservative-liberal government in the United Kingdom. In ‘‘A Brighter Economic Vision for the British Ec...

OBJECTIVES Few and contrastingly data are available about use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DESIGN Comparing the effects of the combination of pulmonary rehabilitation and OMT compared with pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with severely impaired COPD. SETTING Rehabilitative pulmonary department. INTERVEN...

Joints for the ITER superconducting Central Solenoid should perform in rapidly varying magnetic field with low losses and low DC resistance. This paper describes the design of the ITER joint and presents its assembly process. Two joints were built and tested at the PTF facility at MIT Test results are presented; losses in transverse and parallel field and the DC performance are discussed. The d...

In a framework of a CESR upgrade to Charm-Factory [1], there was proposed to install wigglers for obtaining the damping required. Such a wiggler unit supposed to be short enough allowing modular filling of the ring’s free space [2]. As the full-scale wiggler model is a long-time enterprise, it was suggested, that 3-pole model can be manufactured quickly and all nuances of technology and enginee...

The self-assembly behavior of chemoenzymatic high molecular weight (ca. 30 000 Da) poly-l-phenylalanine (ePLP) and the nano-morphologies thereof are investigated.
