In Diagonally Non-Computable Functions and Bi-Immunity [2], Carl Jockusch and Andrew Lewis-Pye proved that every DNC function computes a bi-immune set. They asked whether every DNC function computes an effectively bi-immune set. We construct a DNC function that computes no effectively bi-immune set, thereby answering their question in the negative.

The screening and quantitation of methamphetamine (MP) in urine using dansyl chloride (DNC) as the derivatization reagent were studied. Urinary MP derivatized with DNC could be detected by visual observation of the fluorescence in a solid-phase extraction column such as a Sep-Pak C18 cartridge to which the whole reaction solution was applied. The DNC-derivatized MP was eluted from the cartridge...

Objective(s): Despite the good results of anticancer activities by curcumin, there are some hurdles that limit the use of curcumin as an anticancer agent. Many methods were examined to overcome this defect like the use of the dendrosomal curcumin (DNC). There is increasing evidence that miRNAs play important roles in biological processes. In this study, we focus on the roles of microRNA-21 in t...

OBJECTIVES To describe the course and variation of the dorsal nerve of the clitoris (DNC) to better define its anatomy in the human adult before embarking on therapeutic strategies in this region of the body and as an aid to surgeons to help avoid iatrogenic injury to the DNC during vaginal surgical procedures. METHODS Six human female cadavers of variable body weights were sectioned. A verti...

We implemented and optimized Differentiable Neural Computers (DNCs) as described in the Oct. 2016 DNC paper [1] on the bAbI dataset [25] and on copy tasks that were described in the Neural Turning Machine paper [12]. This paper will give the reader a better understanding of this new and promising architecture through the documentation of the approach in our DNC implementation and our experience...

In April 2016, plans were announced for a dubious study to examine whether the use of intrathecal bioactive peptides, stem cells, lasers, and median nerve stimulation can effectively reverse death by neurologic criteria (DNC) [1]. The possibility that DNC could be reversed was reported in hundreds of articles around the world [2]. Unfortunately, this study has no scientific foundation [3]. Biom...

Polyclonal antibodies were produced to detect the coccidiostat nicarbazin. Due to structural constraints of the active component of nicarbazin, dinitrocarbanilide (DNC), three different compounds that shared a common substructure with DNC were used as antigen mimics. The compounds (N-succinyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine 4-nitroanilide (SAN), L-glutamic acid gamma-(p-nitroanilide) (GAN) and p-ni...

OBJECTIVES Glioblastoma is the most lethal tumor of the central nervous system. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous delivery of p53 and a nanoformulation of curcumin called dendrosomal curcumin (DNC), alone and in combination, on glioblastoma tumor cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS MTT assay was exploited to measure the viability of U87-MG cells against DNC treatment. Cells were se...

objective:glioblastoma is an invasive tumor of the central nervous system. epigenetic therapy of cancer is potentially very useful in reversing some of cancer defects due to reversibility of epigenetic alterations. meg3 is a tumor suppressor long non-coding rna (lncrna) that expresses in the majority of normal tissues. methylation of the meg3 promoter region elicits a decrease in its expression...

The Drosophila mutants amnesiac, dunce (dnc), and rutabaga were isolated after associative conditioning tests, during which animals were trained to associate the presence of an odor with that of electric shocks (ES). In the absence of conditioning, the odor avoidance (OA) of these mutants was shown to be normal, indicating that their poor associative conditioning performance was attributable to...
