Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a simple and small anticancer drug that arouses the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) through inhibition of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4). DCA can selectively promote mitochondria-regulated apoptosis, depolarizing the hyperpolarized inner mitochondrial membrane potential to normal levels, inhibit tumor growth and reduce proliferati...

Real-world emission factors for different vehicle types and their contributions to roadside air pollution are needed air-quality management. Tunnel measurements have been used estimate several using linear regression or receptor-based source apportionment. However, the accuracy uncertainties of these methods not sufficiently discussed. This study applies four derive from tunnel in Hong Kong, Ch...

On the set of 53 trypsin inhibitors the affinity to the covalent bound ligands is modeled using linear (MLR) and non-linear (ANN) methods. Each compound is represented by 343 chemical descriptors. The hypothesis was that linear models are not sufficiently flexible to yield the best model, because in MLR (multiple regression analysis) the number of variables (descriptors) is limited by the numbe...

In this work the electrooxidation half-wave potentials of some Benzoxazines were predicted from their structural molecular descriptors by using quantitative structure-property relationship (QSAR) approaches. The dataset consist the half-wave potential of 40 benzoxazine derivatives which were obtained by DC-polarography. Descriptors which were selected by stepwise multiple selection procedure ar...

pearl millet has tolerance to harsh growing conditions such as drought. it is at least equivalent to maize and generally superior to sorghum in protein content and metabolizable energy levels. thus it is of importance for poultry feeding. amino acid (aa) determination is expensive and time consuming. therefore nutritionists have prompted a search for alternatives to estimate aa levels. traditio...
