In recent years, significant emphasis is being placed on identifying naturally occurring cancer preventive and interventive agents. In this regard, a polyphenolic fraction isolated from grape seeds (hereafter referred as GSP) has recently been shown by us and others to prevent tumorigenesis in mouse skin models. Chemical analysis of GSP has shown that it is largely constituted with procyanidins...

BACKGROUND Generalized social phobia (GSP) is characterized by fear of social interactions and sensitivity to disapproval by others. Given the established role of the amygdala as part of a distributed neural system for the processing of emotional cues, we hypothesized that subjects with GSP would exhibit greater amygdala activation in response to harsh (angry, fearful, and contemptous) vs accep...

objective(s):diabetes plays an important role in the induction of the liver injury. grape seed proanthocyanidin (gsp) have a wide range of medicinal properties against oxidative stress. in this study we evaluated antioxidant effects of gsp on liver in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: thirty male sprague–dawley rats were divided into three groups: control, untreated d...

Nearly fifteen years ago, Google unveiled the generalized second price (GSP) auction. By all theoretical accounts including their own [29], this was the wrong auction — the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction would have been the proper choice — yet GSP has succeeded spectacularly. We give a deep justification for GSP’s success: advertisers’ preferences map to a model we call value maximization;...

Generalized Second Price (GSP) auctions are widely used by search engines today to sell their ad slots. Most search engines have supported the broad match between queries and bid keywords when executing the GSP auctions, however, it has been revealed that the GSP auction with the standard broad-match mechanism they are currently using (denoted as SBM-GSP) has several theoretical drawbacks (e.g....

During the past two decades, parallel manipulator system has become one of the research attentions in robotics. This popularity has been motivated by the fact that parallel manipulators possess some specific advantages over serial manipulators, i.e., higher rigidity and load-carrying capacity, better dynamic performance and a simpler inverse position kinematics, etc. Among various manipulators,...

This paper presents a survey of gossip based sleep protocol (GSP) and extensions of GSP for energy conservation for wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks. In GSP, each node randomly goes to sleep for some time with gossip sleep probability p. When the value of p is small enough, the network stays connected. GSP does not require a wireless node to maintain the states of other nodes. Three...

Grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSP) bears a very powerful antioxidant effects. Studies demonstrated that proanthocyanidins protect against free radicals mediated cardiovascular and renal disorders. The present study was designed to assess the effect of GSP on the heart of diabetic rats. Forty rats were divided into four groups of 10 animals each: Group I: control, Group II: control group were giv...

A polysaccharide named GSP-2 with a molecular size of 32 kDa was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma sinense. Its structure was well elucidated, by a combined utilization of chemical and spectroscopic techniques, to be a β-glucan with a backbone of (1→4)- and (1→6)-Glcp, bearing terminal- and (1→3)-Glcp side-chains at O-3 position of (1→6)-Glcp. Immunological assay exhibited that GSP...
