conclusions it can be concluded that tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. it seems that antioxidants such as tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. results the blood glucose level increased following diabetes induction. the level of blood glucose in the diabetic receiving tempol group decreased compared to the control d...

The SHAAD model (Adaptable, Adaptive and Dynamic Hypermedia System) allows adapting the web content delivered to the user based on his/her preferences and characteristics, and the features and limitations of the device used to interact with the system. In this work we use CC/PP (Composite Capabilities/Preference Profiles) to describe the characteristics of devices and users’ preferences. Finall...

A strategy is presented that allows a causal analysis of co-expressed genes, which may be subject to common regulatory influences. A state-of-the-art promoter analysis for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites in combination with a knowledge-based analysis of the upstream pathway that control the activity of these TFs is shown to lead to hypothetical master regulators. This strategy...

Research Theme 1. Quantification of trace amount of proteins (Etsuro Ito, Mika Morikawa, Mugiho Kaneda) We are developing the method to detect and quantify very tiny amount of a given protein in a small volume, such as in a single cell. We aim at establishing an enterprise to commercialize protein quantification reagents and kits based on this technique. Using our “enzyme cycling method”, it is...

[1] We present a novel explanation of the physical processes behind one type of cloud and ground-level tornadogenesis within a supercell. We point out that the charge separation naturally found in these large thunderstorms can potentially serve to contract the preexisting angular momentum through the additional process of the electric force. On the basis of this, we present a plausible geometry...

Homomorphic signatures (HS) allows the derivation of the signature of the message-function pair (m, g), where m = g(m1, . . . ,mK), given the signatures of each of the input messages mk signed under the same key. Multi-key HS (M-HS) introduced by Fiore et al. (ASIACRYPT’16) further enhances the utility by allowing evaluation of signatures under different keys. While the unforgeability of existi...

Recent developments in voting theory show that Condorcet profiles embedded in electorates are responsible for conflicts between pairwise voting methods and for reversals of rankings under positional methods whenever candidates are dropped or added. Because of the strong symmetry of the rankings of the candidates within these profiles, it can be argued that Condorcet profiles represent complete ...

We present results from detailed computations focused on chemical mixing in convective regions of very low mass stars (VLMs) and brown dwarfs (BDs) during deuterium burning. Computations are made both in the instantaneous and in the coupled–diffusive mixing schemes to check which mixing is required to treat these phases. The convective timescale is much shorter than the nuclear time scales for ...

In this work we propose a lightweight scheme for negotiating client’s capabilities in the context of end-end content adaptation for wireless web access. Our method is much less complex then W3C’s proposed CC/PP framework. We suggest that for the purposes of content negotiation all (mobile) clients could be grouped into a few relatively large categories. With this assumption we simplify the CC/P...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is one of the most prevalent of nerves system disease. ms is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. nutrition and diet are effective factors for prevention and treatment in ms, however finding are controversial. the aim of this study was investigation of dietary pattern of fat consumption and its relationship with lipid profiles crp level in ms patient.  metho...
