We introduce and demonstrate a new mapping for generating music from the 2D Cellular Automata “Game of Life” (GL). The core of this mapping is based on a polar co-ordinate system with origin at the GL grid centre. Such a polar approach is designed to better capture the radial symmetry inherent in the rule set for GL. The radial symmetry of the GL rule set is key to the visual experience of obse...

On the eigenvalue problem for arbitrary odd elements of the Lie superalgebra gl(1|n) and applications Abstract In a Wigner quantum mechanical model, with a solution in terms of the Lie superalgebra gl(1|n), one is faced with determining the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for an arbitrary self-adjoint odd element of gl(1|n) in any unitary irreducible representation W. We show that the eigenvalue p...

PURPOSE To evaluate the hypotensive effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) on a rabbit model of ocular hypertension (OH) induced by triamcinolone acetonide (TA). METHODS Forty New Zealand White Rabbits were divided as follows: control (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution); GL (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution, then fed with 25mg GL/day); TA (intravitreal TA injection); TA...

Glycyrrhizin (GL) has been used in Japan to treat patients with chronic viral hepatitis, as an anti-inflammatory drug to reduce serum alanine aminotransferase levels. GL is also known to exhibit various biological activities, including anti-viral effects, but the anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) effect of GL remains to be clarified. In this study, we demonstrated that GL treatment of HCV-infected H...

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) gH-gL complex is essential for virus infectivity and is a major antigen for the host immune system. The association of gH with gL is required for correct folding, cell surface trafficking, and membrane presentation of the complex. Previously, a mammalian cell line was constructed which produces a secreted form of gHt-gL complex lacking the transmembrane and cytopl...

The current study evaluated the glucose-lowering effect of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (Gl-PS) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The diabetic mice were randomly divided into four groups (8 mice per group): diabetic control group, low-dose Gl-PS treated group (50 mg/kg, Gl-PS), high-dose Gl-PS treated group (150 mg/kg, Gl-PS) and positive drug control treated group (glibenclam...

XML now plays an important role in storing, presenting, and exchanging a wide variety of data on the Web. With the growing use of XML, the ability to intelligently query data sources in XML format by using graphical or textual query languages becomes increasingly important. This study is focused on XML-GL, the only graphical query language invented so far. The features of XML-GL and XML-GL, an ...

The core entry machinery of mammalian herpesviruses comprises glycoprotein B (gB), gH, and gL. gH and gL form a heterodimer with a central role in viral membrane fusion. When archetypal alpha- or betaherpesviruses lack gL, gH misfolds and progeny virions are noninfectious. However, the gL of the rhadinovirus murid herpesvirus 4 (MuHV-4) is nonessential for infection. In order to define more gen...
