We observed the curative effect of the 3C insulin system in combination with non-invasive ventilation in a patient with type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The 3C insulin pump is a system of devices that closely monitors and effectively regulates blood glucose levels. Non-invasive ventilation has been shown to be an effective treatment for OSAS. A type 2 diabetes patien...

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) encodes a single polyprotein, which is post-translationally processed. This processing represents an essential step in capsid formation. The virus possesses only one protease, 3C, responsible for all cleavages, except for that at the VP1/2A junction region, which is processed by cellular proteases. In this study, data demonstrates that HAV polyprotein processing by Esche...

This paper proposes a three-component bidirectional reflectance distribution function (3C BRDF) model consisting of diffuse, quasi-specular, and glossy components for calculation of effective emissivities of blackbody cavities and then investigates the properties of the new reflection model. The particle swarm optimization method is applied for fitting a 3C BRDF model to measured BRDFs. The mod...

If 3C is a separable (complex) Hubert space, and A is a (bounded, linear) operator on 3C, then A is a commutator if there exist operators B and C on 3C such that 4 = BCCB. I t was shown by Wintner [8] and also by Wielandt [7] that no nonzero scalar multiple of the identity operator I on 3C is a commutator, and this was improved by Halmos [5] who showed that no operator of the form X / + C is a ...

A transcription/translation system for generating poliovirus proteins in vitro has been used to assess the proteolytic activity of various polypeptides containing the virus-coded 3C region towards the poliovirus precursor protein P1. Plasmids containing a phage T7 promoter followed by either the complete poliovirus P1 sequence or various sequences containing the 3C region were used for this pur...

The quasar 3C 345 is one of the best examples of extra-galactic jet with superluminal components moving on helical paths. To get better constraints on the jet physics, we have imaged the source at the highest possible resolution, using mm-VLBI and space-VLBI observations. We observed 3C 345 at 5 different epochs so far (1 epoch with 3-mm ground VLBI, and 4 epochs with space VLBI at 6 cm and 18 ...
