BACKGROUND Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 is involved in the regulation of hypoxic preconditioning in cardiomyocytes. Under hypoxic conditions, HIF-1α accumulates and is translocated to the nucleus, where it forms an active complex with HIF-1β and activates transcription of approximately 60 kinds of hypoxia-adaptive genes. Microtubules are hollow tubular structures in the cell that maintain c...

This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) in vitro against two antibiotic-resistant isolates Aeromonas hydrophila and A. caviae. Solid crystal were synthesized by chemical reduction approach employing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a neutral stabilizer, glucose reducing agent, sodium hydroxide catalyst. The crystallinity pu...

Due to unique applications of palladium nanoparticles, synthesis of these nanoparticles by a simple and low cost method is very important. In this work, Pd nanoparticles were synthesized with narrow size distribution by loading metal salt (Pd(OAc)2 ) into the polymeric matrix (PEG) as reducing agent and stabilizer. Also, the effect of metal salt concentration and PEG molecular weight on the con...

The theory of quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs, for short) has been exhaustively studied in the literature; see [1–8]. The most widely studied class of quantum codes are binary quantum stabilizer codes. A thorough discussion on the principles of quantum coding theory was given in [3] and [4] for binary quantum stabilizer codes. An appealing aspect of binary quantum codes is that there exis...

Pectin is a polysaccharide and major component of most plant cell walls the functions as an adsorbent, emulsifying agent, gelling stabilizer, agent. one which by utilizing skin Bligo fruit (Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn). This study aims to determine presence pectin contained in using completely randomized design (CRD) 4 variations. concentration citric acid solvent (5%,7%,9% 11%) with extrac...

The impact of high-voltage-high-frequency (HVHF) amplifiers on echo-signal quality is greater with very-high-frequency (VHF, ≥100 MHz) ultrasound transducers than with low-frequency (LF, ≤15 MHz) ultrasound transducers. Hence, the bias voltage of an HVHF amplifier must be stabilized to ensure stable echo-signal amplitudes. We propose a bias-voltage stabilizer circuit to maintain stable DC volta...

Clifford codes are a class of quantum error control codes that form a natural generalization of stabilizer codes. These codes were introduced in 1996 by Knill, but only a single Clifford code was known, which is not already a stabilizer code. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition that allows to decide when a Clifford code is a stabilizer code, and compile a table of all true Clifford c...
