We study entanglement and genuine of tripartite four-partite quantum states by using Heisenberg-Weyl (HW) representation density matrices. Based on the correlation tensors in HW representation, we present criteria to detect entanglement. Detailed examples show that our method can more entangled than previous criteria.

One out of three adults in the United States is clinically obese. Excess food intake is associated with food motivation, which has been found to be higher in obese compared to healthy weight (HW) individuals. Little is known, however, regarding the neural mechanisms associated with food motivation in obese compared to HW adults. The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI...

The current investigation was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the Tanita 300WA leg-to-leg (LL) bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA) for measuring body composition in an American high-school-aged population. Body composition was determined in 77 students, comparing BIA measurements with the criterion, hydrostatic weighing (HW). Among the males, there were no significant differences found...

Insulators define interactions between transcriptional control elements in eukaryotic genomes. The gypsy insulator found in the gypsy retrovirus binds the zinc-finger Suppressor of Hairy-wing [Su(Hw)] protein that associates with hundreds of non-gypsy regions throughout the Drosophila genome. Models of insulator function predict that the gypsy insulator forms chromatin loop domains through inte...

Elfvingia applanata, a medicinal mushroom belonging to Basidiomycota, has been used in the effort to cure cancers of the esophagus and stomach, and is also known to have inhibitory effects on hepatitis B virus infection. The hot water soluble fraction (as Fr. HW) was extracted from fruiting bodies of the mushroom. In vitro cytotoxicity tests showed that hot water extract was not cytotoxic again...

The suppressor of Hairy-wing [su(Hw)] protein exerts a polar effect on gene expression by repressing the function of transcriptional enhancers located distally from the promoter with respect to the location of su(Hw) binding sequences. The directionality of this effect suggests that the su(Hw) protein specifically interferes with the basic mechanism of enhancer action. Moreover, mutations in mo...

Strong memory consistency models like Sequential Consistency (SC) and Total Store Ordering (TSO) impose tremendous memory consistency constraints on program optimizations. Existing techniques leverage HW atomicity supports to enable aggressive optimizations while enforcing sequential consistency. By grouping the optimized code into a region and committing the whole region atomically, sequential...

In response to herbivore (Spodoptera littoralis) attack, lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) leaves produced hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in concentrations that were higher when compared to mechanically damaged (MD) leaves. Cellular and subcellular localization analyses revealed that H(2)O(2) was mainly localized in MD and herbivore-wounded (HW) zones and spread throughout the veins and tissues. Pref...

The su(Hw) protein is responsible for the insulation mediated by the su(Hw)-binding region present in the gypsy retrotransposon. In the y2 mutant, su(Hw) protein partially inhibits yellow transcription by repressing the function of transcriptional enhancers located distally from the yellow promoter with respect to gypsy. y2 mutation derivatives have been induced by the insertion of two hobo cop...

Aims: To assesses the effectiveness of surgical handwashing (S-HW) in healthcare workers (HCWs) terms organic material and bacteria elimination by means bioluminescence assays.
 Methods: 62-HCWs were subjected to analyses determine adenosine triphosphate (ATP) colony forming units (CFU) Enterobacteriaceae (EB) E. coli before after S-HW. A checklist evaluate adherence hand hygiene (HH) prot...
