Recently, lecithin-derived phosphatidylserine (PS), which originates from marine life, has received much attention as a viable alternative to bovine cerebral cortex PS. In this study, the use of squid phosphatidylcholine-transphosphatidylated PS (SQ-PS) was evaluated through examination of its ameliorating effects on age-associated learning and memory deficits in rats. Aged rats were orally adm...

Two squaraine (SQ) donor molecules with different absorption bands are blended together for better coverage of the solar spectrum. The blend SQ device shows a significant improvement compared with single SQ donor devices. By applying a solvent annealing process and a compound buffer layer, a power-conversion efficiency of 5.9 ± 0.3% is achieved under 1 sun illumination.

7-con-O-Methylnogarol (7-OMEN), a new analog of the an thracycline antibiotic, nogalamycin, has chemotherapeutic ac tivity in several experimental mouse tumor systems. As part of the preclinical development of 7-OMEN, the cardiotoxic poten tial was evaluated in chronically dosed rabbits. Groups of 4 rabbits were dosed twice weekly i.v. with 11 or 33 mg/sq m/ week for 12 weeks, 110 sq m/mg/week ...

Abstract A store queue (SQ) is a critical component of the load execution machinery. High ILP processors require high load execution bandwidth, but providing high bandwidth SQ access is difficult. Address banking, which works well for caches, conflicts with age-ordering which is required for the SQ and multi-porting exacerbates the latency of the associative searches that load execution require...

BACKGROUND The use of wearable tools for health self-quantification (SQ) introduces new ways of thinking about one's body and about how to achieve desired health outcomes. Measurements from individuals, such as heart rate, respiratory volume, skin temperature, sleep, mood, blood pressure, food consumed, and quality of surrounding air can be acquired, quantified, and aggregated in a holistic way...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based semi-quantitative (SQ) methods applied to knee osteoarthritis (OA) have been introduced during the last decade and have fundamentally changed our understanding of knee OA pathology since then. Several epidemiological studies and clinical trials have used MRI-based SQ methods to evaluate different outcome measures. Interest in MRI-based SQ scoring system ha...
