The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) combined with moderate heat treatment on the allergenic properties of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). The effects of high pressure treatment at 100-500 MPa on allergenicity and structural properties of BSA were investigated. This study was performed using Competitive Indirect-Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Analysis (...

The UhpABC regulatory system in enterobacteria controls the expression of the hexose phosphate transporter UhpT. Signaling is initiated through sensing of extracellular glucose 6-phosphate by membrane-bound UhpC, which in turn modulates the histidine-protein kinase UhpB. Together with the cytoplasmic response regulator UhpA, they constitute a typical two-component regulatory system based on His...

In AsiaCrypt 2013, Qin and Liu proposed a new approach to CCA-security of Public-Key Encryption (PKE) in the presence of bounded key-leakage, from any universal hash proof system (due to Cramer and Shoup) and any one-time lossy filter (a simplified version of lossy algebraic filters, due to Hofheinz). They presented two instantiations under the DDH and DCR assumptions, which result in leakage r...

The rapid development of neural networks has come at the cost increased computational complexity. Neural are both computationally intensive and memory intensive; as such, minimal energy computing power satellites pose a challenge for automatic target recognition (ATR). Knowledge distillation (KD) can distill knowledge from cumbersome teacher network to lightweight student network, transferring ...

Whether deformation of exhumed crust in a collisional orogen is driven by buoyancy or tectonic stress remains uncertain. The Sulu eastern China contains slowly subducted and high-pressure (HP)−ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terranes, which provide good opportunity to understand whether the exhumation was buoyancy. We used field microscopic observations as well quartz c-axis fabrics determine kinemati...

Inhibition of 5α-reductase (5αR), which blocks the conversion testosterone to its active metabolite, dihydrotestosterone, has been shown impact further prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). Clinical trials standardized lipidosterolic extracts Serenoa repens (LSESr), also known as saw palmetto, have demonstrated improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and delaye...

The intermetallic TiAl3 has been used as a thermally stable cap for Ti/Al ohmic contacts to n-GaN. The electrical performance of the TiAl3-capped contact is nearly the same as that of a standard Ti/Al/Ni/Au contact processed on the same substrate, but the Ti/Al/TiAl3 contact’s performance is optimized at a much lower temperature. The Ti/Al/TiAl3 contact achieved a lowest specific contact resist...
