Hybridization among diverse parents is a great way to create variability within genus with narrow genetic base. During Kharif, 2021 and 2022, an experiment was conducted in bell pepper at the research farm of Department Vegetable Science Floriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur (HP) using randomized complete block design under open field conditions evaluate 15 (12 lines three testers) their 36 F1 hybrid...

Niemann-Pick Type C disease (NPC) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by progressive neurological deterioration. Previously, we reported that intravenous administration of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPB-CD) in two patients with NPC had only partial and transient beneficial effects on neurological function. The most likely reason for HPB-CD not significantly i...

Objective: To determine the perceptions of general surgery PDs (program directors) concerning the necessity for HPB (hepatopancreatobiliary) fellowships to practicing HPB surgery. Methods: A 22-question electronic survey was sent to 250 general surgery PDs recognized by the American Association of Medical Colleges in the United States regarding the experience and competency of graduating genera...

An Experimental Study on Depigmenting Activity of 4-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-Butanone in C57 Black Mice: Depigmenting Activity of HPB in Black Mice: Yoshiharu FUKUDA, et al. Department of Public Health, Kumamoto University School of Medicine— The authors previously reported three cases of occupational leukoderma in workers engaged in a 4-(phydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone (HPB, Raspberry Ketone) manufactur...

The acute and accumulated toxicity of the rare earth borotungstate heteropoly blues, HPB-2, Ce2H3[BW9(VI)W2(V)Mn(H2O)O39].12H2O, which is active against influenza virus in Kunming mice, were investigated in Kunming mice following oral and intraperitoneal administration. The activity of HPB-2 against influenza virus (FM1) in the mice was then investigated. HPB-2, given either orally (p.o.) or in...

Hexakis(4-methoxyphenyl)benzene (HPB-OMe(1)) and hexakis(2,6-dimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl)benzene (HPB-OMe(2)) were synthesized via organometallic complex catalysis. The treatment of HPB-OMe(1) with FeCl3 caused cyclodehydrogenation at two positions to yield an oligophenylene with an indeno[1,2-b]fluorene structure (IF-OMe). Deprotection of the methoxy groups of these compounds was conducted by tre...

Approximate partial phase diagrams for nine amphiphile-protic ionic liquid (PIL) systems have been determined by synchrotron source small angle X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry and cross polarised optical microscopy. The binary phase diagrams of some common cationic (hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, CTAC, and hexadecylpyridinium bromide, HDPB) and nonionic (polyoxyethyle...

Hierarchical phrase-based (HPB) translation provides a powerful mechanism to capture both short and long distance phrase reorderings. However, the phrase reorderings lack of contextual information in conventional HPB systems. This paper proposes a contextdependent phrase reordering approach that uses the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to help the HPB decoder select appropriate reordering patter...

Hierarchical phrase-based (HPB) models have shown strong capability in generalization and reordering. However, they are heavily dependent on continuous phrases and are difficult for modeling natural linguistic discontinuities directly. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for integrating discontinuous phrases into the Chinese-to-English HPB system. We focus on the extraction method of dis...

Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) emergencies include an ample range of conditions with overlapping clinical presentations and diverse therapeutic options. The most common etiologies are related to cholelithiasis (acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and cholangitis) and non-traumatic injuries (common bile duct or duodenal). Although the true incidence of HPB emergencies is difficult to determine due ...
