Indian Ber contain good source of ascorbic acid and total phenolics. Despite being rich in antioxidants it is an underutilized fruit. Effect of processing on antioxidant activity of ber fruit was studied. Antioxidant activity of ber fruit was evaluated by different methods viz. DPPH radical activity, reducing power assay, superoxide anion radical activity, TBARS, total phenolic content and tota...

We examined interactions between base excision repair (BER) DNA intermediates and purified human BER enzymes, DNA polymerase beta (pol beta), apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Studies under steady-state conditions with purified BER enzymes and BER substrates have already demonstrated interplay between these BER enzymes that is sensitive to the...

An siRNA screen has identified several proteins throughout the base excision repair (BER) pathway of oxidative DNA damage as important for efficient HIV infection. The proteins identified included early repair factors such as the base damage recognition glycosylases OGG1 and MYH and the late repair factor POLß, implicating the entire BER pathway. Murine cells with deletions of the genes Ogg1, M...

in future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (otdm) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. in this paper we propose a self-routing otdm node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...

Mammalian base excision repair (BER) is mediated through at least two subpathways designated 'single-nucleotide' (SN) and 'long-patch' (LP) BER (2-nucleotides long/more repair patch). Two forms of DNA substrate are generally used for in vitro BER assays: oligonucleotide- and plasmid-based. For plasmid-based BER assays, the availability of large quantities of substrate DNA with a specific lesion...

Introduction: This study investigated the effect of berberine on renal dysfunction and histological damages of the lung induced by renal ischemia/ reperfusion at an early stage. Methods: There were four experimental groups of adult male rats (n=7). Seven days before induction of ischemia, the Ber+I/R group received oral (by gavage) berberine (15 mg/kg/day) while the I/R group received distil...

Crossbred wethers (72; 31 k 0.5 kg) were used to determine effects of different grass sources and qualities on visceral organ mass after 42 and 84days. Wethers consumed ad libitum bermudagrass (BER; Cynodon dactylon) (H, 24-day regrowth; M, 42-day regrowth; L, full-season growth) or orchardgrass (ORC; Dactylis glomeruta) (H, late vegetative to pre-anthesis; M, post-anthesis; L, seed in dough st...

In a chirp spread spectrum (CSS) system, the overlap technique is used for increasing bit rate. More overlaps can offer higher data throughput; however, they may cause more intersymbol interference (ISI) at the same time, resulting in serious bit error rate (BER) performance degradation. In this paper, we perform the BER analysis and derive a closed form BER expression for the overlap-based CSS...

Abstract Background Berberine (Ber) is a herbal alkaloid with pharmacological activity in general and high anticancer potency particular. However, due to its low bioavailability, the difficulty reaching target choosing right dose, there need improve approaches of Ber use therapy. In this study, Ber, noncovalently bound carbon nanostructure C 60 fullerene (C ) at various molar ratios components,...

For a bounded linear operator $A$ on reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}(\Omega)$, with normalized $\widehat{k}_{\lambda} = \frac{k_{\lambda}}{\lVert k_{\lambda}\lVert}$, the Berezin symbol, number and norm are defined respectively by $\widetilde{A}(\lambda) \langle A\widehat{k}_{\lambda},\widehat{k}_{\lambda}\rangle$, $ber(A) \sup_{\lambda\in\Omega}\left|\widetilde{A}(\lambda)\right|...
