Formation of normal olfactory memory requires the expression of the wild-type amnesiac gene in the dorsal paired medial (DPM) neurons. Imaging the activity in the processes of DPM neurons revealed that the neurons respond when the fly is stimulated with electric shock or with any odor that was tested. Pairing odor and electric-shock stimulation increases odor-evoked calcium signals and synaptic...

We had previously shown that deoxynojirimycin-polysaccharide mixture (DPM) not only decreased blood glucose but also reversed the damage to pancreatic β-cells in diabetic mice, and that the anti-hyperglycemic efficacy of this combination was better than that of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) or polysachharide alone. However, the mechanisms behind these effects were not fully understood. The present s...

Distributed Partial Mixing (DPM) is an approach to creating a distributed audio service that supports optimisation of bandwidth utilization across multiple related audio streams (e.g. from concurrently active audio sources) while maintaining fairness to TCP traffic in best effort networks. This paper extends our DPM prototype to include the application control of selector and database component...

The successful synthesis of germylenes, a-DPM(p-tol)GeCl (2) and a-DPM(Naph)GeX (tol=tolyl, Naph=naphthyl; X=Cl 6, N(TMS)2 7), demonstrates the ability aza-dipyrromethene (a-DPM) to stabilise compounds containing low-valent main group elements. Due presence a-DPM in these they exhibit a significantly red-shifted absorption maximum around 640 nm. More information on this study can be found Resea...

We present strategies for “online” dynamic power management(DPM) based on the notion of the competitive ratio that allows us to compare the effectiveness of algorithms against an optimal strategy. This paper makes two contributions: it provides a theoretical basis for the analysis of DPM strategies for systems with multiple power down states; and provides a competitive algorithm based on probab...

A new iron complex with a thioamide SNS pincer type ligand, [FeBr2(κ(3)-H2L(DPM))] (κ(3)-H2L(DPM) = 2,6-bis(N-2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-isopropylphenylthioamide)pyridine), was synthesized. This complex reacts with NaH in THF to yield a unique Fe(ii) complex with two THF molecules, [Fe(THF)2(κ(3)-L(DPM))] (κ(3)-L(DPM) = 2,6-bis(N-2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-isopropylphenyliminothiolate)pyridine). ...

Elemental carbon (EC) is currently used as a surrogate for diesel particulate matter (DPM) in underground mines since it can be accurately measured at low concentrations and diesels are the only source of submicrometer EC in underground mines. A disadvantage of using EC as a surrogate for DPM is that the fraction of EC in DPM is a function of various engine parameters and fuel formulations, etc...

Dipyridamole (DPM) is widely used to prevent strokes and vascular thrombosis. Combination therapy of DPM and antimetabolites has shown synergistic anticancer activity. This study investigated the chemopreventive effects of DPM in the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter-driven polyoma middle T oncoprotein metastatic breast cancer model. We also investigated the effects of DPM on gene and miRNA ex...

Of 188 government-monitored air toxics, diesel particulate matter (DPM) causes seven times more cancer than all the other 187 air toxics combined, including benzene, lead, and mercury. Yet, DPM is the only air toxic not regulated more stringently under the Clean Air Act, as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). One reason is that regulators use flawed standards of scientific evidence. The article ar...

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a nearly ubiquitous environmental pollutant. It is known to be inflammatory and is linked to a plethora of health effects including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary fibrosis. New research sheds light on which components of DPM are harmful to the lung and what mechanisms they trigger [EHP 119(3):332–336; Reynolds et al.]. The authors...
