Rice wine has been one of the most popular traditional alcoholic drinks in China. However, the presence of potentially carcinogenic ethyl carbamate (EC) in rice wine has raised a series of food safety issues. During rice wine production, the key reason for EC formation is urea accumulation, which occurs because of nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. NCR represses u...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been proposed as a promising tool for therapeutic neovascularization, vascular repair, tumor pathology and tissue engineering, though their identification is still a subject of much discussion. EPCs consist of two different subpopulations, termed endothelial cell (EC)-like cells and endothelial outgrowth cells (EOCs). Both types of EPCs are derived from ...

OBJECTIVE Previous work demonstrated the effectiveness of autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) as endothelial cell (EC) substitutes in vascular tissue engineering. We further this work toward clinical translation by evaluating ASC function after (1) replacement of fetal bovine serum (FBS) with autologous human plasma (HP) in culture and (2) cryopreservation. METHODS Human ASCs and pla...

Itai and Rodeh [IR] have proved thal for any 2-conncctcd graph G and any vertex S E G there are two spanning trees such that the paths from any othcr vcrtex to s on the trees are disjoint. In this p,aper the result is generalized to 3-connected graphs. T ec hn io n C om pu te r Sc ie nc e D ep ar tm en t T eh ni ca l R ep or t C S0 46 2 19 87 -1

Electronic Commerce (EC) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) are fundamental strategic concepts when businesses are forging links with their suppliers and customers. This article analyzes the complementary nature of both concepts. ETA SA, part of ‘The Swatch Group’ in Switzerland, has redesigned the distribution of spare parts to brand manufacturers by pursuing an integrated approach of EC and SC...

Introduction: Attention Deficit Hyeperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a relatively prevalent disorder in children and is associated with some other disorders including depression. This problem also affects the emotional characteristics and intelligence quotient. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of Emotional Characteristics (EC) and depression with Intelligence Quotient (IQ) in ...

Introduction. This paper describes one of the activities of the Dependable Software Applications (DSA) sector at the Joint Research Centre in Italy. The activity is part of their support work to DGIII of the European Commission (EC). It reflects an aspect of DSA’s continuous support process and mirrors our beliefs in the process of enhancing European industrial competitiveness by defining resea...

BACKGROUND Regenerative therapies, including myocardial tissue engineering, have been pursued as a new possibility to repair the damaged myocardium, and previously the transplantation of layered cardiomyocyte sheets has been shown to be able to improve cardiac function after myocardial infarction. We examined the effects of promoting neovascularization by controlling the densities of cocultured...

With the rapid development of internet and emerging of global economic, risk management for enterprise under EC (Electronic Commerce) environments has drawn attentions of many researchers. In this paper, the characteristics of risk for EC enterprise are analyzed. Further, focused on the project organization mode and the uncertain factor of the enterprise under EC, which are main different chara...
