Pancratistatin derivatives, 1-O-(3-hydroxybutyryl)pancratistatin (HBP) and 1-O-(3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylbutyryl)pancratistatin (GBP), showed strong cytostatic activity against rat embryo fibroblast 3Y1 at concentrations less than 1 microM. When the effect on cell cycle progression was examined in 3Y1 fibroblasts arrested at G0/G1 phase by serum deprivation, HBP, GBP, and pancratistatin inhibit...

We study the discrete logarithm problem in degree 0 class groups of curves over finite fields, with particular emphasis on curves of small genus. We prove that for every fixed g ≥ 2, the discrete logarithm problem in degree 0 class groups of curves of genus g can be solved in an expected time of Õ(q 2 g ), where Fq is the ground field. This result generalizes a corresponding result for hyperell...

The Dirichlet process prior allows flexible nonparametric mixture modeling. The number of mixture components is not specified in advance and can grow as new data come in. However, the behavior of the model is sensitive to the choice of the parameters, including an infinite-dimensional distributional parameter G0. Most previous applications have either fixed G0 as a member of a parametric family...

Besides the peak at one conductance quantum, G0, two additional features at ∼0.4 G0 and ∼1.3 G0 have been observed in the conductance histograms of silver quantum point contacts at room temperature in ambient conditions. In order to understand such feature, here we investigate the electronic transport and mechanical properties of clean and oxygen-doped silver atomic contacts by employing the no...

The nature of the Abelian Higgs Model phase transition is investigated. A variational approximation is used in the evaluation of the relevant finite temperature effective potential. Some of the results presented are valid not only in the Abelian Higgs Model, but also in more complex theories. Several recent studies have been devoted to the phase transition of the Abelian Higgs Model. Besides be...

In-situ neutron diffraction measurements were performed on monocrystalline samples of the Ni-based superalloy CMSX-4 during N-type g0 raft formation under the tensile creep conditions of 1150 C/ 100 MPa, and subsequently on a rafted sample under the low temperature/high stress creep conditions of 715 C/825 MPa. During 1150 C/100 MPa creep, the g0 volume fraction decreased from ~70% to ~50%, the...

Let G0 be a connected, simply connected real simple Lie group. Suppose that G0 has a compact Cartan subgroup T0, so it has discrete series representations. Relative to T0 there is a distinguished positive root system ∆ for which there is a unique noncompact simple root ν, the “Borel – de Siebenthal system”. There is a lot of fascinating geometry associated to the corresponding “Borel – de Siebe...

Proliferation arrest and distinct developmental stages alter and decrease general translation yet maintain ongoing translation. The factors that support translation in these conditions remain to be characterized. We investigated an altered translation factor in three cell states considered to have reduced general translation: immature Xenopus laevis oocytes, mouse ES cells, and the transition s...

Let g = g0 ⊕ g1 be a simple Z2-graded Lie algebra and let b0 be a fixed Borel subalgebra of g0. We describe and enumerate the abelian b0-stable subalgebras of g1. §
