Compressive sensing (CS) is a newly emerging method in information technology that could reduce sampling efforts extensively by conducting L1 optimization. In this work, CS is extended to array beamforming applications and two algorithms (CSB-I and CSB-II) are presented with the assumption of spatially sparse and incoherent sound sources. The two algorithms are examined using both simulation an...

To understand the systematic status of Bahaba taipingensis within Sciaenidae, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Chinese bahaba has recently been determined by long PCR and primer walking methods. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16500 bp in length and contains 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes) as well a...

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare human disorder characterized by pathologies of premature aging, neurological abnormalities, sensorineural hearing loss and cachectic dwarfism. With recent data identifying CS proteins as physical components of mitochondria, we sought to identify protein partners and roles for Cockayne syndrome group B (CSB) protein in this organelle. CSB was found to physically ...

The general stress response of Bacillus subtilis is triggered by a variety of environmental and metabolic stresses which activate the sigmaB transcription factor. Among the more than 100 genes controlled by sigmaB (the csb genes), the functions identified thus far include resistance to oxidative stress, resistance to protein denaturation and resistance to osmotic stress. To understand the bread...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the latency and amplitude of trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials to clarify how nerve function on the contralateral side is affected after cervical sympathetic block (CSB). METHODS Subjects comprised 16 volunteers. For CSB, the tip of a needle was contacted with the transverse process of the sixth cervical vertebra on the right side,...

A two-step culture system was used to investigate the role of chondroitin sulfate (CS) B, which is mitogenic to B cells, in differentiation of B cells. Mouse spleen B cells were incubated for 3 days with CSB in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-5. After washing, the cells were replated at 10(5) viable cells/well and recultured without CSB in the presence of IL-4 and IL-5. CSB dose-depen...

Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB) is an emerging technology that has become popular with cloud computing. CSB is a middleman providing value added services, developed using standard software development lifecycle, from cloud providers to consumers. This paper provides a systematic literature review on this topic, covering 41 publications from 2009 to 2015. The paper aims to provide an overview of C...

OGG1 and MSH2/MSH3 promote CAG repeat expansion at Huntington's disease (HD) locusin vivo during removal of oxidized bases from DNA. CSB, a transcription-coupled repair (TCR) protein, facilitates repair of some of the same oxidative lesions. In vitro, a knock down CSB results in a reduction of transcription-induced deletions at CAG repeat tract. To test the role of CSB in vivo, we measured inte...

Abstract Derivatives of formyl pyrazole were synthesized by the reaction acetophenone, 4-methyl 3-acetyl furan, thiophen and phenyl hydrazine derivatives. The product was treated with Vilsmeier reagent producing different derivatives which characterized FT-IR, 1HNMR, Elemental analysis Mass spectroscopy. reacted chitosan to produce chitosan/ Schiff base. These bases FT-IR TGA.The antimicrobial ...

The nucleotide excision repair (NER) system is comprised of two subpathways, i.e., transcription-coupled repair (TCR) and global genome repair (GGR). To establish the relative importance of TCR and GGR for UV effects on the skin, we have used hairless knockout mouse strain lacking either TCR (CSB -/-) or GGR (XPC -/-). In single exposure experiments, we found that CSB -/- mice have a 7-16 times...
