BACKGROUND (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant of the green tea polyphenols that exhibit a variety of bioactivities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-fatigue effect of EGCG by forced swimming exercise. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mice were divided into one control group and three EGCG-treated groups. The control group was administered with distilled wa...

This paper reports on constructing an exhaustive full program control ow framework for precise data ow analysis of real programs. We discuss the problem of ambiguous calling relations in the presence of function pointers. A ow insensitive analysis is suggested and implemented for real C programs.

Every uniformly exhaustive submeasure is equivalent to a measure. From this, we deduce that every vector measure with compact range in an F-space has a control measure. We also show that co (or any E.-space) is a T;space, i.e. cannot be realized as the quotient of a nonlocally convex F-space by a one-dimensional subspace.

This paper presents an overview of singular perturbations and time scales (SPaTS) in control theory and applications during the period 1984-2001 (the last such overviews were provided by [231, 373]). Due to the limitations on space, this is in way intended to be an exhaustive survey on the topic.

This article explores the extension of Morgenthaler's Virtual Control Flow techniqueeMor97], which derives control owwASU86] semantics directly from the Abstract Syntax Tree, from the relatively coarse granularity of syntactic C expressions to the ner granularity of basic block expressions, that is, expressions without embedded control ow. We explain why this is a better level of abstraction fo...

Sauropus androgynus (Euphorbiaceae) is a popular vegetable in Thailand. In 1995, the plant was associated with several cases of poisoning when used in a Taiwanese weight control method and the toxicity was attributed to its alkaloid content. We have therefore investigated a closely related Sauropus species, S. hirsutus. Extraction and isolation of chemical constituents from the aerial part of S...

This study determined the effects of exercise on the ability of macrophages (Mphi) to present antigen to T cells. Pathogen-free male Balb/c mice (8 +/- 2 wk of age) were randomly assigned to either home cage control, moderate exercise (Mod; 18 m/min, 5% grade, 0.5 h/day), exhaustive exercise (Exh, 18-30 m/min, 3 h/day), or treadmill control groups. The mice underwent treatments for 4 days durin...

Various cryptosystems use exhaustive techniques to search the key space. Such search techniques should be guided in order to be computationally adequate. Here, a Genetic Algorithm, GA, is proposed for the cryptanalysis of DES-like systems to find out the underlying key. The genetic algorithm approach is adopted, for obtaining the exact key by forming an initial population of keys that belong to...
