In 1994, Ericsson Mobile Communications launched an initiative to study low-power, low-cost radio interfaces between mobile phones and their accessories. A radio-access solution was sought because it would eliminate the need for cables and overcome lineof-sight restrictions. It was also recognized that a low-cost solution would usher in wireless connectivity for a multitude of new applications ...

Salvioti’s insight—that the earth is not the center of the universe—which clashed with 2000 years of Ptolemaic assumptions, is a useful metaphor as we ponder the predominant influence of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) on neuroscience. Since the birth of DSM half a century ago— a significant step forward in legitimizing psychiatry— new insights in the genesis of ...

This study sought to analyze the outcome of patients with post-treatment locally recurrent uterine carcinoma treated with Au-198 seed permanent interstitial re-irradiation (Au-198 IRI). A retrospective review of the data of 15 patients with post-treatment locally recurrent uterine carcinoma treated with Au-198 IRI between 1991 and 2009 was performed to evaluate the disease response, local contr...

Anthracycline antibiotics like doxorubicin (DOX) are known to exert their antitumor effects primarily via DNA intercalation and topoisomerase II inhibition. By contrast, the noncross-resistant cytoplasmically localizing DOX analogue, N-benzyladriamycin-14valerate (AD 198), only weakly binds DNA and does not inhibit topoisomerase II, yet it displays superior antitumor activity, strongly suggesti...

In this research, the removal of Reactive Red 198 dye (RR-198) by Cuttlefish bone powder was investigated. The adsorbent was prepared in laboratory conditions and ground by ASTM standard sieves (60-100 mesh). The progress of the process is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of dye at 518 nm wavelength. In addition, the effects of process parameter...

There are reports of early evidence that suggest the involvement of chronic low-grade inflammation in the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes. Thus, substances that have effects in reducing inflammation could be potential drugs for Type 2 diabetes. Leonurine (4-guanidino-n-butyl syringate; SCM-198) is an alkaloid in HL (Herba leonuri), which was reported to possess anti-inflammatory properties. We ...
