Tea is the most popularly consumed beverage worldwide, also was popular in Indonesia. There are three main types of tea: black tea, green tea and Oolong tea. Oolong tea is produced by a partial oxidation of the leaf, intermediate between the process for green and black tea. Most of people in the world consume Black tea. The possible beneficial health effects of tea are being investigated and ha...

In acoustic multi-channel equalization techniques, such as complete multi-channel equalization based on the multiple-input/output inverse theorem (MINT), relaxed multi-channel least-squares (RMCLS), and partial multi-channel equalization based on MINT (PMINT), the length of the reshaping filters is generally chosen such that perfect dereverberation can be achieved for perfectly estimated room i...

Four spearmint, and two peppermint clonal lines, selected for enhanced rosmarinic acid content (50-120 mg g -1 rosmarinic acid DW), where up to 80% of the antioxidant activity was correlated to rosmarinic acid content, were examined to determine the effects of environmental and physiological conditions on the accumulation of rosmarinic acid in leaf tissues. Exposure to a short photoperiod of 12...

Mint adaptor proteins bind to the membrane-bound amyloid precursor protein (APP) and affect the production of pathogenic amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides related to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies have shown that loss of each of the three Mint proteins delays the age-dependent production of amyloid plaques in transgenic mouse models of AD. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underl...

Several hundred PDZ (postsynaptic density-95, Drosophila disks-large, ZO-1) domain-containing proteins have been identified in the human genome. PDZ domains play a critical role in organization and function of cellular signaling pathways. Thus, small molecule inhibitors of PDZ domain association with their targets have wide potential applications as research and therapeutic agents. PDZ domains ...
