The mechanical compressor on small cooling appliances has considerable energy consumption to the entire vapor compression system. To improve the efficiency of the compressor in the vapor compression system, an electrochemical compressor (EC) was suggested and its performance was investigated. The EC compresses refrigerant by charging an external voltage to the membrane electrolyte assembly (MEA...

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is one of the most recalcitrant species for in vitro plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis. Callus from only a few cultivars can produce embryogenic callus (EC), but the mechanism is not well elucidated. Here we screened a cultivar, CRI24, with high efficiency of EC produce. The expression of genes relevant to EC production was analyzed between the ...

PURPOSE The cooverexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) observed in many human tumors and their synergistic interaction in the transformation of cells make these receptors important targets for the development of new targeted therapeutics. Targeting of EGFR and HER2 simultaneously has been pursued as a strategy with which to po...

Abstract Combining electrocoagulation with another process is a potential strategy for increasing the efficiency of water and wastewater pollutant removal. The integration advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (EC) demonstrates improved performance. mechanism EC combined ozone (O 3 ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O sulfate radicals, electrooxidation (EO), Fenton/electro-Fenton, UV discussed. This revie...

We present a novel evolutionary computing framework, Wallace, that achieves ease-of-use and genericity, via a domainspecific language, and simultaneously achieves efficiency via meta-programming, as well as supporting parallelism. Wallace also includes a novel multiple representation model of individual development, realised using meta-programming. We describe the Wallace framework, illustratin...

We consider the problem of learning Bayesian network structures from complete data. In particular, we consider the enumeration of their k-best equivalence classes. We propose a new search space for A* search, called the EC graph, that facilitates the enumeration of equivalence classes, by representing the space of completed, partially directed acyclic graphs. We also propose a canonization of t...

Administration of 200 mg/kg of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) to mice bearing human colon carcinoma DLD-1 xenografts resulted in 100% mortality. Oral administration of 2000 mg/kg of 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyluridine (TAU), a prodrug of uridine, in combination with 120 mg/kg of 5-(benzyloxybenzyl)barbituric acid acyclonucleoside (BBBA), the most potent known inhibitor of uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase, EC 2.4...

A field experiment was conducted at the Pulse Research Centre of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Ishurdi, Pabna during Kharif-II season of 2010 to evaluate the efficacy of five herbicides for controlling weeds associated with mungbean (BARI Mung-6). The five herbicides such were: Paraxon (27.6% WV Paraquat dichloride salt), M-clor 5G (Butaclor), Topstar 40 WP (40% Oxadiargyl), Hamme...

The specific features of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) impose new requirements for routing protocols. The aim of this paper is to present an approach that enhances routing performance by integrating ad hoc related characteristics. We propose a loop-free adaptive path energy conserving scheme which attempts to minimize both routing and storage overhead in order to efficiently provide robustnes...
