BACKGROUND Podcasting is currently a popular means of delivery of information with a large number of podcasts specifically tailored for educational purposes. It can be argued that the passive nature of this teaching methodology limits the educational benefit that can be derived from podcasts. This paper describes the development and construction of interactive material for the iPod, and a surve...

The accumulation of misfolded cytosolic or aggregation-prone proteins leads to cellular stress. To protect the cell, damaged or aggregated proteins are actively sequestered in two newly discovered quality control compartments, JUNQ and IPOD, which are highly conserved in evolution.

Traditionally, proprioception has been assessed with a passive model, in which an external apparatus moves a body segment. Recently, protocols have been developed based on active movements, which are more representative of functional activities. However, even these approaches require expensive testing equipment and the necessity of a visit to a research lab, as there are no commercially availab...

In this paper, we prove arithmetic properties modulo 5 and 7 satisfied by the function pod(n) which denotes the number of partitions of n wherein odd parts must be distinct (and even parts are unrestricted). In particular, we prove the following: For all n ≥ 0, pod(135n + 8) ≡ 0 (mod 5), pod(135n + 107) ≡ 0 (mod 5), pod(135n + 116) ≡ 0 (mod 5), pod(675n + 647) ≡ 0 (mod 25), pod(3375n + 1997) ≡ ...

This paper introduces tensorial calculus techniques in the framework of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to reduce the computational complexity of the reduced nonlinear terms. The resulting method, named tensorial POD, can be applied to polynomial nonlinearities of any degree p. Such nonlinear terms have an on-line complexity of O(k), where k is the dimension of POD basis, and therefore is...

A least squares regression interval mapping model was derived to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) with a unique mode of genomic imprinting, polar overdominance (POD), under a breed cross design model in outbred mammals. Tests to differentiate POD QTL from Mendelian, paternal or maternal expression QTL were also developed. To evaluate the power of the POD models and to determine the ability ...

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) exhibit high skin targeting efficiency and good safety. They are promising vehicles for topical drug delivery. This study aims to increase the skin distribution of podophyllotoxin (POD) by incorporating it into NLCs. Two kinds of POD-loaded NLCs (POD-NLCs)-POD-NLCformulation 1 and POD-NLCformulation 2-were prepared and characterized. Their skin targeting effi...

The derivations of existing error bounds for reduced order models of time varying partial differential equations (PDEs) constructed using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) have relied on bounding the error between the POD data and various POD projections of that data. Furthermore, the asymptotic behavior of the model reduction error bounds depends on the asymptotic behavior of the POD data ...

In this paper an abstract linear-quadratic optimal control problem governed by an evolution equation is considered. To solve this problem numerically a reduced-order approach based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied. The error between the POD suboptimal control and the optimal control of the original problem is controlled by an a-posteriori error analysis. However, if the POD b...
