We show by a combination of computer simulation and experimental characterization guided self-assembly of coherent nano-precipitates into a mesocrystal having a honeycomb structure in bulk materials. The structure consists of different orientation variants of a product phase precipitated out of the parent phase by heterogeneous nucleation on a hexagonal dislocation network. The predicted honeyc...

The Weil descent attack, suggested by Frey, has been implemented by Gaudry, Hess and Smart (the so-called GHS attack), on elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic two of composite degrees. The GHS attack has been extended by Galbraith to hyperelliptic curves of characteristic two. Recently, Diem presented a general treatment of GHS attack to hyperelliptic curves over finite fields o...

Hypercalciuria in inbred genetic hypercalciuric stone-forming (GHS) rats is due, in part, to a decrease in renal tubule Ca reabsorption. Activation of the renal Ca receptor (CaR) may decrease renal tubule Ca reabsorption and cause hypercalciuria through suppression of Ca-sensitive potassium channel activity. Because the rat renal CaR gene is regulated by extracellular calcium and 1,25-dihydroxy...

The effect of the core cell shape on shock absorption characteristics of biomimetically inspired honeycomb structures has been numerically investigated. The finite element models of honeycomb test specimen composed of five core cells of identical mass have been constructed, and numerical simulations have been run on PAMCRASH. The dimensions of the sides of core cells as well as the angle betwee...

It has been shown that the ghrelin receptor, GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), is synthesized in neurons of the nodose ganglion and then transmitted to axon terminals, where it binds to ghrelin. The orexigenic signal of ghrelin secreted from the stomach is transmitted to the brain via the vagal afferent nerve. To explore the regulation of GHS-R synthesis in the nodose ganglion, we examined whet...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is related to obesity and to major metabolic alterations including both insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. ghrelin was identified as the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue (ghs) receptor. the actions of ghrelin are carried out through interaction with specific receptor, named ghs-r. objective: in a case-control study, we...

Photo catalytic TiO2 coatings with well defined honeycomb structure were successfully self-assembled on glass substrates by a simple “dip and burn sol-gel method”. The crux of this new method is that the starting material for the sol-gel coating (the water solution of ammonium titanium citrate) was “doped” with “tea-leaf extracts”. Tea-leaf extracts were completely dissolved in the water soluti...
