The effects of different Radix ranunculi ternati extracts on human gastric cancer BGC823 cells were investigated, different methods were used to extract the saponins and polysaccharides from Radix ranunculi ternati, and MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to observe the effects of saponins and polysaccharides from Radix ranunculi ternati on in-vitro cultured human gastric cancer BGC8...

This project presents implementation of a pipelined complex fused FFT processor for multipurpose applications . In this project, both radix-2 and radix-4 floating point butterflies are implemented with more efficiency and with the two fused floating-point operations. Reusability is the main concern in this project. By using fusing concept common required components are shared by different opera...

Radix Astragali has been an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine for over 2000 years. It is derived from two plant species, namely, Astragalus mongholicus [Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao] and Astragalus membranaceus [Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.] (Leguminosae), according to the Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China. In this study,...

Networks-on-chip (NoCs) have become increasingly widespread due to the extensive integration of components in modern chip multi-processor (CMP) and SoC designs. A fundamental tradeoff in NoC design is the radix of its constituent routers. While high radix routers enable a richly connected and low diameter network, low radix routers provide simple and low power designs. In this work, we present ...

Abstract. For r = (r1, . . . , rd) ∈ R d the mapping τr : Z → Z given by τr(a1, . . . , ad) = (a2, . . . , ad,−⌊r1a1 + · · ·+ rdad⌋) where ⌊·⌋ denotes the floor function, is called a shift radix system if for each a ∈ Z there exists an integer k > 0 with τ r (a) = 0. As shown in Part I of this series of papers, shift radix systems are intimately related to certain well-known notions of number s...

BACKGROUND The main functions of Radix Glycyrrhizae include regulating middle warmer, moistening lung, relieving toxicity, harmonizing property of drugs which is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used in clinical settings. The objective of the paper is to isolate and identify the constituents in ethanol extract of Radix Glycyrrhizae, and to study their anticancer activity. MATERIALS AND M...

Plant growth retardant (PGR) refers to organics that can inhibit the cell division of plant stem tip sub-apical meristem cells or primordial meristem cell. They are widely used in the cultivation of rhizomatous functional plants; such as Codonopsis Radix, that is a famous Chinese traditional herb. However, it is still unclear whether PGR affects the medicinal quality of C. Radix. In the present...

To clarify the clinical significance of the redox-controlling effects of Kampo, a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, we determined the scavenging activities of various reactive oxygen species in clinically used Kampo formulae using an electron spin resonance-based technique. Formulae containing Rhei Rhizoma (i.e., mashiningan and daiobotanpito) showed high scavenging activity against the alk...

The Paeoniae Radix Alba-Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma herbal pair is mainly used for regulating the functions of liver and spleen, benefiting qi, and nourishing blood. However, the bioactive compounds for the pharmacological activities of the crude and processed Paeoniae Radix Alba-Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma herbal pair extracts are still unclear to date. In the present study, Q Ex...

In this paper we analyse the Communication and Cache Conscious Radix sort algorithm, C-Radix, using the distributed and the shared memory parallel programming models. C-Radix was originally proposed based on the idea of the classic Radix sort to exploit the memory hierarchy locality and reduce the amount of communication for distributed memory computers. Here, we implement C-Radix on the SGI Or...
