A polysaccharide was purified from a hot water extract of green tea leaves by measuring the immunostimulatory activity in silkworm larvae. Nuclear magnetic resonance and chemical analysis of acid hydrolysates revealed that the purified substance possessed a backbone containing polygalacturonic acids with methyl ester residues. Treatment with β-glucanase attenuated the muscle contraction activit...

This paper presents the Transform-Based Layered Query (TLQ) System, which is proposed as a new image querying scheme aiming at decreasing retrieval processing time and run-time memory consumption. The TT.,Q system contains abstract layers in both indexing and querying phases. These layers are based on linear or nonlinear transformations that reduce image and feature data dimensions. The propose...
