Abstract: A double-inducible system for expressing a transgene, preferably comprising an RU486-inducible system integrated with a CID-inducible system. The invention further comprises a gene expression system for use in in vitro cell culture studies, and a gene expression expression system for use in engineering modified bigenic mice.

Abstract: A method and apparatus perform I/Q imbalance estimation and compensation using synchronization signals in LTE systems. Primary and secondary synchronization signals (P-SCH and S-SCH), which carry synchronization information, are embedded in each LTE frame, and are used for receiver I/Q imbalance estimation. Additionally, the performance may be significantly improved by optimally selecting the training data in I/Q imbalance estimation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the cleavage of serum response factor as it relates to cardiac disease. In specific embodiments, failing cardiac tissue is diagnosed in tissues comprising elevated cleavage of serum response factor. In further specific embodiments, heart failure is associated with cardiac myocyte apoptosis as a result of an increase in cleaved serum response factor, particularly by caspases.

Abstract: A compound having the structure useful for treatment or prevention of cardiovascular diseases, endothelial dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, angina pectoris, thromboses, restenoses, myocardial infarction, strokes, cardiac insufficiency, pulmonary hypertonia, erectile dysfunction, asthma bronchiale, chronic kidney insufficiency, diabetes, or cirrhosis of the liver in a human or animal patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted benzimidazoles, compositions containing such compounds and methods of treatment The compounds are glucagon receptor antagonists and thus are useful for treating, preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: An identification and administration system applied to P2P gateway and a method for the same are proposed. The system is installed in a kernel space, and a plug-in kernel module is in the kernel space to finish preprocessing and application processing of packets on the kernel space without the need of copying data to the user space for processing. Moreover, a connection cache is provided in the kernel space to process source/destination IP addresses, connection ports and protocol identifiers of all packets to recognize and then block identical request packets in reconnections. Therefore, the throughput of content-level security gateway can be increased, and the processing efficiency of packets can also be enhanced.

Abstract: A resorbable, macroporous bioactive glass scaffold comprising approximately 24-45% CaO, 34-50% SiO2, 0-25% Na2O, 5-17% P2O5, 0-5% MgO and 0-1% CaF2 by mass percent, produced by mixing with pore forming agents and specified heat treatments.

Abstract: A heavy metal recovery system at least includes a slurry preparation unit, a reaction unit, and a pressure filtering unit. In the slurry preparation unit, a heavy metal-containing sludge cake and/or an undiluted heavy metal sludge/slurry is mixed with an acidic etching waste liquid and/or water to form slurry. The reaction unit connects to the slurry preparation metal-containing unit for the reaction that generates a heavy metal-containing reaction product. The pressure filtering unit connects to the reaction unit, and the heavy metal-containing reaction product is pressure filtered to obtain a heavy metal-containing material.
