We study the backward Euler fully discrete mixed finite element method for time-dependent Schrödinger equation; error result of solution is obtained in L2-norm with order O(τ+hk+1). Then, a two-grid presented scheme. Using this method, we solve original problem on much coarser grid and elliptic equations fine grid. In addition, also O(τ+hk+1+Hk+2). The numerical experiment provided to demonstra...

High and low molecular weight kininogens (HK and LK) modulate inflammatory responses, serve as precursors of kinins, inhibit cysteine proteinases, and modulate thrombin activation of platelets. Differential splicing yields two different mRNAs for HK and LK. We report the first molecular characterization of a kininogen gene mutation in a patient lacking LK and HK. No gross DNA deletion or insert...

As millions of immigrants moved to Hong Kong (HK) from China in the recent decades, large amount of residential housings were built in the early years and a substantial proportion of those buildings used asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Since the number of new cases of ARDs diagnosed has increased year by year since 1990's, the remarkable increase of incidences had drawn the attention of t...

Two-component signal transduction pathways play a major role in the response of bacteria to external cues. These pathways are initiated by large collection of histidine kinases (HKs) containing a sensor domain that perceives the environmental signal followed by an HK domain that triggers a histidine-aspartate phosphorelay. Previous phylogenetic analyses identified 11 major families of two-compo...

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over a field k of characteristic not 2, θ an involution of G defined over k, H a k-open subgroup of the fixed point group of θ and Gk (resp. Hk) the set of k-rational points of G (resp. H). The variety Gk/Hk is called a symmetric k-variety. For real and -adic symmetric k-varieties the space L(Gk/Hk ) of square integrable functions decompose...

Bradykinin is a potent inflammatory mediator that induces vasodilation, vascular leakage, and pain sensations. This short-lived peptide hormone is liberated from its large precursor protein high molecular weight kininogen (HK) through the contact system cascade involving coagulation factor XII and plasma kallikrein. Although bradykinin release is well established in vitro, the factors and mecha...

Housekeeping (HK) genes fulfill the basic needs for a cell to survive and function properly. Their ubiquitous expression, originally thought to be constant, can vary from tissue to tissue, but this variation remains largely uncharacterized and it could not be explained by previously identified properties of HK genes such as short gene length and high GC content. By analyzing microarray expressi...

Rat liver tryptophan (Trp), kynurenine pathway metabolites, and enzymes deduced from product/substrate ratios were assessed following acute and/or chronic administration of kynurenic acid (KA), 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA), Trp, and the kynureni-nase inhibitors benserazide (BSZ) and carbidopa (CBD). KA activated Trp 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), possibly by increasing ...

The Hohenberg–Kohn (HK) theorem for interacting electrons is a cornerstone of modern electronic structure calculations. For general quantum system, HK-type Hamiltonian in the form H ̂ hk { g i } = int + ∑ O $\hat {H}_{\rm hk}\lbrace g_i\rbrace =\hat int}+\sum_i g_i \hat O_i$ can always be defined, by grouping those terms with fixed or preknown coefficients into an internal part int}$ , and facto...

The tachykinin hemokinin-1 (HK-1) is involved in immune cell development and inflammation, but little known about its function pain. It acts through the NK1 receptor, several effects are mediated by a yet unidentified target. Therefore, we investigated role mechanism of action HK-1 arthritis models distinct mechanisms with special emphasis on Arthritis was induced i.p. K/BxN serum (passive tran...
