This paper develops a method for generating tra-jectories for a rigid body with speciied boundary conditions at the end points and intermediate locations. It is well known that SE(3), the set of all rigid body positions and orientations, is a non Euclidean space. In general, the problem of determining trajectories that are optimal with respect to some meaningful metric does not have an analytic...

PURPOSE To evaluate the hypotensive effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) on a rabbit model of ocular hypertension (OH) induced by triamcinolone acetonide (TA). METHODS Forty New Zealand White Rabbits were divided as follows: control (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution); GL (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution, then fed with 25mg GL/day); TA (intravitreal TA injection); TA...

D-Glucaric acid is a non-toxic natural compound found in many fruits and vegetables. Our previous studies have shown that the β-glucuronidase inhibitor D-glucaro-1,4-lactone, an active metabolite of D-glucaric acid, inhibits chemically-induced tumorigenesis in rodents. D-Glucaro-1,4-lactone has a synthetic precursor, 2,5-di-O-acetyl-D-glucaro-1,4:6,3-dilactone or aceglatone (ACE), known as a po...

We consider various aspects of the Segre variety S := S1,1,1(2) in PG(7, 2), whose stabilizer group GS < GL(8, 2) has the structure N o Sym(3), where N := GL(2, 2) × GL(2, 2) × GL(2, 2). In particular we prove that S determines a distinguished Z3-subgroup Z < GL(8, 2) such that AZA−1 = Z, for all A ∈ GS , and in consequence S determines a GS invariant spread of 85 lines in PG(7, 2). Furthermore...

Actions of GL q (2, C) on C(1, 3) and its four dimensional representations Abstract. A complete classification is given of all inner actions on the Clif-ford algebra C(1, 3) defined by representations of the quantum group GL q (2, C), q m = 1 with nonzero perturbations. As a consequence of this classification it is shown that the space of invariants of every GL q (2, C)-action of this type, whi...

Fabry disease, an inherited deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A, causes progressive intralysosomal accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) and premature death from renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular manifestations. To determine the long-term safety and efficacy of recombinant human alpha-galactosidase A, an open-label, phase III extension study was conducted, involvin...

An immunolabeling approach was developed for quantitative in situ labeling of photosystems I and II (PSI and PSII). Photosynthetic membranes from the phycobilisome-containing red alga Porphyridium cruentum were isolated from cells in which different photosystem compositions were predetermined by growing cells in green light (GL) or red light (RL). Based on phycobilisome densities per membrane a...
