Previously we reported that stable transfection of human UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (hUGP2) rescued galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT)-deficient yeast from "galactose toxicity." Here we test in human cell lines the hypothesis that galactose toxicity was caused by excess accumulation of galactose-1-phosphate (Gal-1-P), inhibition of hUGP2, and UDP-hexose deficiency. We found that ...

This document updates the IPv6 specification (RFC 2460) to improve performance when a tunnel protocol uses UDP with IPv6 to tunnel packets. The performance improvement is obtained by relaxing the IPv6 UDP checksum requirement for tunnel protocols whose header information is protected on the "inner" packet being carried. Relaxing this requirement removes the overhead associated with the computat...

This paper develops an unsupervised discriminant projection (UDP) technique for feature extraction. UDP takes the local and non-local information into account, seeking to find a projection that maximizes the non-local scatter and minimizes the local scatter simultaneously. This characteristic makes UDP more intuitive and more powerful than the up-to-date method ocality preserving projection (LP...

[reaction: see text] A reliable and efficient synthetic route to UDP-alpha-D-galactofuranose (UDP-Galf) has been developed. Reaction of UMP-N-methylimidazolide with Galf 1-phosphate proceeds rapidly to provide UDP-Galf with excellent reproducibility and in a yield approximately twice as high as those reported previously.

In [1], UDP is proposed to address the limitation of LPP for the clustering and classification tasks. In this communication, we show that the basic ideas of UDP and LPP are identical. In particular, UDP is just a simplified version of LPP on the assumption that the local density is uniform.

With the objective of contrasting performance between STREAMS and legacy approaches to system facilities, a comparison is made between the tested performance of the Linux Native Sockets UDP implementation and STREAMS TPI UDP and XTIoS UDP implementations using the Linux Fast-STREAMS package [? ].

A microtiter plate assay for UDP-galactopyranose mutase, an essential cell wall biosynthetic enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, was developed. The assay is based on the release of tritiated formaldehyde from UDP-galactofuranose but not UDP-galactopyranose by periodate and was used to identify a uridine-based enzyme inhibitor from a chemical library.
