This paper provides upper and lower bounds on the information rates achievable with a minimum mean square error (MMSE) Tomlinson-Harashima precoder (THP) assuming ideal interleaving. We also give an exact formula for zero-forcing (ZF) THP achievable information rates. At high SNR, the performance of the MMSE-THP and the ZF-THP identically suuer only the 2.55 bit or 1.53 dB \shaping" loss from c...

The solubility of trihexyphenidyl (Thp) was improved by its combination with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and modified β-CDs. The solubility of Thp was found to be increased in the presence of β-CD, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Me-β-CD) and sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD). In particular, the solubility of Thp in conjunction with SBE-β-CD was increased by a f...

Rats with systemic carnitine deficiency induced by treatment with trimethylhydraziniumpropionate (THP) develop liver steatosis. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms leading to steatosis in THP-induced carnitine deficiency. Rats were treated with THP (20 mg/100 g) for 3 or 6 weeks and were studied after starvation for 24 h. Rats treated with THP had reduced in vivo palmitate metabolism ...

Abstract The agriculture of the Texas High Plains (THP) region is primarily dependent on groundwater irrigation. Changing weather patterns along with competing demands for water resources and other anthropogenic effects have dramatically increased withdrawals from Ogallala aquifer. In addition to on-farm changes, policy tools based off-farm mechanisms are equally indispensable in addressing sus...

background bone morphogenetic protein 7 (bmp7) has been suggested to play a protective role against kidney injury in chronic kidney disease. objectives to identify the critical molecular regulators in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy, we studied the expression of bmp7 and 2 important kidney-specific markers, podocin and tamm–horsfall protein (thp). materials and methods a diabetic nephro...

Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) is a nonlinear processing technique employed at the transmit side to implement the concept of dirty paper coding (DPC). The perform of THP, however, is restricted by the dimensionality constraint that the number of transmit antennas has to be greater or equal to the total number of receive antennas. In this paper, we propose an iterative coordinate THP algori...

Levo-tetrahydropalmatine (l-THP) is an alkaloid found in many traditional Chinese herbal preparations and has a unique pharmacological profile that includes dopamine receptor antagonism. Previously we demonstrated that l-THP attenuates fixed-ratio (FR) cocaine self-administration (SA) and cocaine-induced reinstatement in rats at doses that do not alter food-reinforced responding. This study exa...

l-Tetrahydropalmatine (l-THP) is an active ingredients of Corydalis yanhusuo W.T. Wang, which protects against acute global cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury. In this study, we show that l-THP is cardioprotective in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury and examined the mechanism. Rats were treated with l-THP (0, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg b.w.) for 20 min before occlusion of the left anterior desc...

In renal bacterial infections granulocytes are of major importance in the primary immune defense against invading pathogens. However, the mechanisms of granulocytic activation in renal interstitial invasion have not been clarified. Renal tubular epithelial cell mechanisms inducing granulocytic activation and bacterial killing may include tubular cell expression of Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), a...

2-Methyl-4-carboxy,5-hydroxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine (THP(A) or hydroxyectoine) and 2-methyl,4-carboxy-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine (THP(B) or ectoine) are now recognized as ubiquitous bacterial osmoprotectants. To evaluate the impact of tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives (THPs) on protein-DNA interaction and on restriction-modification systems, we have examined their effect on the cleavage ...
