Cytochrome P450 enzymes affected by artemisinin antimalarials – pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic aspects With more than 500 million cases and at least 1 million deaths each year, malaria is a major global health problem. The main problem with malaria control is the emerging drug resistance among parasites causing the infection. Consequently, there is an urgent need for new drugs. The artemis...

With more than 500 million cases and at least 1 million deaths each year, malaria is a major global health problem. The main problem with malaria control is the emerging drug resistance among parasites causing the infection. Consequently, there is an urgent need for new drugs. The artemisinin endoperoxide antimalarials are highly effective, well tolerated and have become the most important clas...

Auto-tuned induction coil technology, based upon phase-locked loop circuitry (PLL), was developed and shown to be an effective tool for in-vivo measurement of electrical conductivity of human tissues. Because electrical contact is not required, several disadvantages of the electrode method for conductivity determination are avoided, such as electrode polarization and variable conductivity assoc...

As many as 59% of the transcription factors in Escherichia coli regulate the transcription rate of their own genes. This suggests that auto-regulation has one or more important functions. Here, one possible function is studied. Often the transcription rate of an auto-regulator is also controlled by additional transcription factors. In these cases, the way the expression of the auto-regulator re...

We report a study that examines performance of pilots flying a simulated UAV in a highfidelity environment while using different types of perfect and imperfect automation aids. Fiftysix student pilots carried out simulated UAV missions containing a 3D view of terrain, a 2D topdown navigational map, system parameter gauges, and a message box. Trajectory and manipulation of a 3D camera was contro...
