Water soluble and biocompatible iron oxide nanoparticles coated with poly(aspartic acid) (PAsp), poly(asparagines) (PAsn), poly(2-hydroxy-ethyl L-aspartamide) (PHEA), and poly-α,β-(N-2-dimethylaminoethyl L-aspartamide) (PDMAEA) were prepared by hydrophobic interaction between hydrophobic iron oxide nanoparticles and each amphiphilic poly(amino acid)s graft polymer. The octadecyl side chain graf...

According to IR, 13C and 1H NMR, APT, 1D NOE, 2D heteronuclear 1H/13C HSQC and 2D DOSY experiments the main chemical constituent of high-molecular preparations from Symphytum asperum, S. caucasicum, S. officinale and Anchusa italica (Boraginaceae) was found to be caffeic acid-derived polyether, namely poly[3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)glyceric acid] (PDPGA) or poly[oxy-1-carboxy-2-(3,4-dihydroxypheny...

Streptomyces albulus PD-1, a productive strain for epsilon-poly-l-lysine and poly-l-diaminopropionic acid, was isolated from soils. We present the genome sequence of S. albulus PD-1, which may provide abundant information regarding the production of epsilon-poly-l-lysine and poly-l-diaminopropionic acid.

In this lecture, we will construct constant degree D vertex-expanders with expansion of (1 − ε)D (a.k.a. constant degree lossless expanders). This beautiful construction is due to Capalbo-ReingoldVadhan-Wigderson. Concretely, for every constant ε > 0 and every N , we will construct a bipartite graph (L,R,E), |L| = N , |R| = M = poly(ε)N), with left degree D = poly(1ε ), such that every subset S...

We herein describe a simple, sensitive and specific method for analysis of circulating microRNAs (miRNA), termed S-Poly(T) Plus real-time PCR assay. This new method is based on our previously developed S-Poly(T) method, in which a unique S-Poly(T) primer is used during reverse-transcription to increase sensitivity and specificity. Further increased sensitivity and simplicity of S-Poly(T) Plus, ...
