Objective: To investigate the pharmacological action and mechanism of cholic acid derivatives in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) based on the regulation of gene expression.Methods: Genome-wide gene expression profiles of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cells treated with or without 4 cholic acid derivatives were detected by gene chip techno
Development of a technique to evaluate the performance of cooling headers and its applications in POSCO plate mills
Hundreds of thousands of liquid jet nozzles are widely Batteries used in controling cooling equipment to accelerate the cooling of hot plates.The holes of these nozzles become clogged or the hole size becomes smaller as foreign substances like grease, scrap, and mud containing cooling water are flushed through.In this case, cooling water sprays abn
Owl-like plaques of the Copper Age and the involvement of children
Abstract In the Copper Age, slate engraved plaques were produced massively in the southwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula.Researchers have speculated about the function of these palm-sized stone objects for more than a century, although most have favored the idea that they represented goddesses, and served ritual purposes.The plaques are engra
Further results related to a minimax problem of Ricceri
We deal with a theoric question raised in connection with the application of a three-critical points theorem, obtained by Ricceri, which has been already applied to obtain multiplicity results for boundary value problems in several recent papers.In the settings of the mentioned theorem, the typical assumption is that the following minimax inequalit
Omissions in the disinfection of a craft-slaughterhouse
The aim of this study was to establish the filter basket difference in the total number of bacteria present on some surfaces after disinfection was performed either by a professional or a layman employed at the slaughterhouse.Based upon the obtained results it can be concluded that there were omissions in the disinfection procedure.The study materi
