Abstract: A screening method of identifying a compound for treating hepatitis. Also disclosed is a method for evaluating responsiveness of a subject having hepatitis to a drug.

Abstract: A pure polypeptide containing an amino acid sequence at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:5. The polypeptide, when expressed in a cell, increases susceptibility of the cell to hepatitis C virus infection.

Abstract: A portable warm bag having steam heating device includes a rectangular bag having a pressure sensor, a pressure releasing valve, a switch bottom and a valve cover on both sides of the upper lid, a partition vertically disposed in the bag adjacent a lateral side thereof to define a gap therebetween to receive a vapor creater therein which supplies the vapor into the food containing space via a hose and through a perforated plate above the bottom of the bag, a power source compartment under the bottom of the bag containing a plurality of rechargeable batteries therein for heating a heating bar in the vapor creater to boil the water to create vapor to into the bag to establish a heating circulation into the food which is kept at constant temperature eatable to the user.

Abstract: While simulating a circuit described by the netlist, a circuit simulator produces a dump file containing a set of waveform data sequences, each corresponding to a separate signal within the circuit, and representing states of its corresponding signal at a succession of times during the circuit simulation. Based on a mapping of the waveform data sequences to lines of a bus, and on transaction data models describing characteristic signal patterns appearing on the bus during each type of transaction that can occur on the bus, a transaction analysis system identifies transactions that occurred on the bus during the simulation. The transaction analysis system also notes a time during the circuit simulation in which each transaction occurred, and generates a display including a separate representation of each identified transaction positioned to represent the time the transaction occurred.

Abstract: A screening method of identifying a compound for treating hepatitis. Also disclosed is a method for evaluating responsiveness of a subject having hepatitis to a drug.

Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence at least 70% identical to SEQ ID NO:1, or a complementary sequence thereof. Presence of the nucleic acid in a subject predisposes the subject to an adenocarcinoma. Also disclosed are a method of diagnosing an adenocarcinoma, a method of identifying a compound for treating the disease, and a method of treating the disease.

Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence at least 70% identical to SEQ ID NO:1, or a complementary sequence thereof. Presence of the nucleic acid in a subject predisposes the subject to an abnormal liver condition, an adenocarcinoma, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are a method of diagnosing such diseases, a method of identifying a compound for treating such diseases, and a method of treating such diseases.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method to scroll browsing display of web pages in a browser by dragging web pages with an input device. The apparatus for browser interface operation comprises: a web page scroll event detector and a web page link event detector. When the dragging distance is longer than a predetermined length, the apparatus sends a web page scroll request to the browser for scrolling the web page. When the browser receives the web page scroll request and it analyzes a vertical and horizontal component distance of the dragging distance. The browser then scrolls the horizontal scroll bar based on the horizontal component distance and the vertical scroll bar based on the vertical component distance. When the dragging distance is not longer than a predetermined length, the apparatus sends a web page link request to the browser for executing embedded web page link.
