Allopurinol, the xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is the only drug available for the treatment of gout. We examined the xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of some commercially available flavonoids such asepigallocatechin, acacatechin, myricetin, naringenin, daidzein and glycitein by virtual screening and in-vitro studies. The interacting residues within the complex model and their contact types we...

The low frequency (1/f) noise characteristics of Schottky-gated strained-Si n-channel modulation doped field effect transistors have been investigated as a function of Ge concentration for different virtual substrates. The gate voltage dependence of the 1/f noise agrees well with the McWhorter carrier number fluctuations model. The trap density (extracted using a Ge dependent potential barrier ...

Network virtualization is considered as a promising way to improve flexibility and manageability for Internet. A major challenge in network virtualization is how to effectively allocate the underlying resources to satisfy virtual network requests. Since the general network embedding problem is computationally unsolvable, past researches have followed various approaches to reduce the computation...

This paper presents a technique of evolutionary design for plants in virtual worlds, inspired from Richard Dawkins' adaptive walks within the space of biomorph structures. The design is carried out by interactive sessions with a multi-agent platform of generic virtual plants. The plants, growing in a three-dimensional environment, are based upon the fusion between a two-substrate transport-resi...

background: with the recent spread of virtual learning programs in universities, especially in the field of medical sciences, libraries play a crucial role to support these programs. this study aimed at investigating the skills required by librarians to support virtual learning programs in isfahan university and isfahan university of medical sciences.   methods: this was an applied survey study...

there has been a recent development and explosion of interest among academicians across a wide range of disciplines in the use of virtual class room. utilization of the virtual class room as a laboratory experimentation for teaching and learning has increased significantly in recent years as development tools for web based applications have become easier to use and computers have become more ca...
