The medicinal value of earthworm has been widely known since the history of Asian ancient medicine. This present study aims to determine the mechanism of action and effect of a standardized extract of Lumbricus rubellus named as DLBS1033. The fibrinogen degradation, antiplatelet aggregation, and ex vivo antithrombotic assay using human blood were performed to study antithrombotic activity. Fibr...

A new method for building a reduced order circuit model, based on symbolic or numerical elimination of the internal circuit nodes, is presented. The circuit passivity is preserved unlike the majority of other approaches. A 1033 node RC circuit is reduced to an admittance with one pole and two zeros for a frequency range of three decades.

We present the complete genome sequences of five nonpathogenicListeria monocytogenesserovar 4 strains: WSLC 1018 (4e), 1019 (4c), 1020 (4a), 1033 (4d), and 1047 (4d). These sequences may help to uncover genes involved in the synthesis of the serovar antigens-phenotypic determinants of virulence deemed clinically relevant.
