Reactive oxygen species induce formation of 15-F(2t)-isoprostane (15-F(2t)-IsoP), a specific marker of in vivo lipid peroxidation, which is increased after myocardial ischemia and during the subsequent reperfusion. 15-F(2t)-IsoP possesses potent bioactivity under pathophysiological conditions. However, it remains unknown whether 15-F(2t)-IsoP, by itself, can influence myocardial ischemia-reperf...

Let sq denote the q-ary sum-of-digits function and let P1(X), P2(X) ∈ Z[X] with P1(N), P2(N) ⊂ N be polynomials of degree h, l ≥ 1, h 6= l, respectively. In this note we show that (sq(P1(n))/sq(P2(n)))n≥1 is dense in R. This extends work by Stolarsky (1978) and Hare, Laishram and Stoll (2011).

Introduction Small quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) have been designed to prevent undernutrition, including stunting, wasting and micronutrient deficiencies [1]. A daily 20 g ration of SQ-LNS provides about 110–120 kcal along with protein, essential fatty acids and 22 micronutrients. Studies assessing the impact of SQ-LNS and medium-quantity LNS (MQ-LNS; at ~50 g or ~250-280 k...

Plant isoprenoids represent a large group of compounds with a wide range of physiological functions. In the cytosol, isoprenoids are synthesized via the classical acetate/mevalonate pathway. In this pathway, farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) occupies a central position, from which isoprene units are dispatched to the different classes of isoprenoids, with sterols as the major end products. The present...

Sulfoquinovose (SQ; 6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose) is the polar head group of the plant sulfolipid SQ-diacylglycerol, and SQ comprises a major proportion of the organosulfur in nature, where it is degraded by bacteria. A first degradation pathway for SQ has been demonstrated recently, a "sulfoglycolytic" pathway, in addition to the classical glycolytic (Embden-Meyerhof) pathway in Escherichia coli K-1...

As semiconductor technologies have continued to scale according to Moore’s Law, complexity, power consumption, and energy dissipation have become first-order considerations in microprocessor design. In processors that issue instructions out-of-order, store-load forwarding is a source of significant complexity and energy dissipation. To decrease the complexity and improve the energy efficiency o...
