BACKGROUND Mitochondrial dysfunction is critical following ischemic disorders. Our goal was to determine whether mild hypothermia could limit this dysfunction through per-ischemic inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. METHODS First, ROS production was evaluated during simulated ischemia in an vitro model of isolated rat cardiomyocytes at hypothermic (32°C) vs. normothermic (...

Fashion, as a “second nature” to human being, plays a quite non-trivial role not only in economy but also in many other areas of our society, including education, politics, arts, and even academics. We investigate fashion through a network game model, which is referred to as the fashion game, where there are two types of agents, conformists and rebels, who are allocated on a network. Each agent...

A simple procedure for the voltammetric detection of antioxidative activity of plant extracts based on the protection from DNA damage at the electrode surface is reported. A disposable electrochemical DNA biosensor fabricated as a carbon-based screen-printed electrode modified by a surface layer of the calf thymus double stranded (ds) DNA was used as a working electrode in combination with a si...

Obesity continues to be a global health problem, and thus it is imperative that new pathways regulating energy balance be identified. Recently, it was reported: (Hayashi K, Cao T, Passmore H, Jourdan-Le Saux C, Fogelgren B, Khan S, Hornstra I, Kim Y, Hayashi M, Csiszar K. J Invest Dermatol 123: 864-871, 2004) that mice carrying a missense mutation in myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3rc) have re...

Flourish development of grid computing have been seen in recent years which has enabled researchers to collaborate more efficiently by sharing computing, storage, and instrumental resources. Data grids focusing on large-scale data sharing and processing are most popular and data management is one of most essential functionalities in a grid software infrastructure. Applications such as astronomi...

Fashion, as a “second nature” of human being, has great economic impacts. In this paper, we apply a heterogenous network game to analyze the existence of a fashion cycle. There are two types of agents in the network game, conformists and rebels. Conformists prefer to match the action taken by the majority of her neighbors while rebels like to mismatch. Our results imply that social interaction ...

MODULARIZED MULTILEVEL AND Z-SOURCE POWER CONVERTER AS RENEWABLE ENERGY INTERFACE FOR VEHICLE AND GRID-CONNECTED APPLICATIONS By Dong Cao Due the energy crisis and increased oil price, renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, or thermoelectric generation module, are used more and more widely for vehicle and grid-connected applications. However, the output of these rene...
