Bilayers prepared from sorbitan fatty acid esters (Span) have been frequently used for delivery of drugs including flavonoids. We applied molecular dynamics simulation to characterize the structure of a sorbitan monostearate (Span 60) bilayer in complex with three representative flavones, a subclass of flavonoids. At a low concentration, unsubstituted flavone, the most hydrophobic member, was able to flip over and cross the bilayer with a large diffusion coefficient. At a high concentration, it was accumulated at the bilayer center resulting in a phase separation. The leaflets of the bilayer were pushed in the opposite directions increasing the membrane thickness. Order parameter of the stearate chain of Span 60 was not affected significantly by unsubstituted flavone. In contrast, chrysin with hydroxylated ring A was lined up with the acyl chains of Span 60 with its hydroxyl group facing the membrane surface. Neither flipping nor transbilayer movement were allowed. Diffusion coefficient was only 15–25% of that of unsubstituted flavone and order parameter decreased with the concentration of chrysin. Luteolin, the most hydroxylated member, interacted mainly with the headgroup of Span 60 and assumed many different orientations without crossing the bilayer. Unlike chrysin and unsubstituted flavone the bilayer integrity was disrupted at 50?mol% luteolin. These behaviors and structures of flavones in a Span 60 bilayer can be accounted for by their hydrophobicity and sites of hydroxylation. 相似文献

Differentially regulated proteins within porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)-derived conceptuses were compared with conceptuses that were derived from natural matings on day 14 of pregnancy. Proteins that were expressed prominently on day 14 were identified in SCNT-derived conceptuses using 2-D PAGE and MALDI-TOF MS. Sixty eight proteins were identified as being differentially regulated in the SCNT-derived conceptuses. Among these, 62 were down-regulated whereas the other six proteins were up-regulated. Glycolytic proteins, such as pyruvate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase, were down-regulated in the SCNT-derived conceptuses whereas apoptosis-related genes as annexin V, Hsp60, and lamin A were up-regulated. Thus, apoptosis-related genes are expressed at significantly higher levels in the SCNT-derived conceptuses than in the control conceptuses, whereas metabolism-related genes are significantly reduced. 相似文献

Scatter-Gather-Merge: An efficient star-join query processing algorithm for data-parallel frameworks
A data-parallel framework is very attractive for large-scale data processing since it enables such an application to easily
process a huge amount of data on commodity machines. MapReduce, a popular data-parallel framework, is used in various fields
such as web search, data mining and data warehouses; it is proven to be very practical for such a data-parallel application.
A star-join query is a popular query in data warehouses that are a current target domain of data-parallel frameworks. This
article proposes a new algorithm that efficiently processes star-join queries in data-parallel frameworks such as MapReduce
and Dryad. Our star-join algorithm for general data-parallel frameworks is called Scatter-Gather-Merge, and it processes star-join queries in a constant number of computation steps, although the number of participating dimension
tables increases. By adopting bloom filters, Scatter-Gather-Merge reduces a non-trivial amount of IO. We also show that Scatter-Gather-Merge
can be easily applied to MapReduce. Our experimental results in both cluster and cloud environments show that Scatter-Gather-Merge
outperforms existing approaches. 相似文献

In the present study, an attempt has been made to treat dairy wastewater entirely via anaerobic treatment over a period of
215 days, using two-stage Hybrid Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (HUASB) reactors, which offer the advantages associated both
with fixed film and upflow sludge blanket treatments. A HUASB with polyurethane foam cubes was used for stage I, and a HUASB
utilizing PVC-cut rings was used for stage II. The output from stage I was used as the input for stage II. The two-stage reactor
was operated at an organic loading rate that varied from 10.7 to 21.4 kg COD m3/d for a period of 215 days, including the start-up period. The ideal organic loading rate for the two-stage reactor was 19.2
kg COD/m3/d. A further 21.4 kg COD m3/d increase in the organic loading rate resulted in the souring of the reactor function in stage I, which consequently reduced
the overall reactor performance. Combined COD removal during the stable operation period (10.7 to 19.2 kg COD m3/d) occurred in a range between 97 and 99%. The methane content in the biogas varied from 65 to 70% in stage I, and from 63
to 66% in stage II. The two-stage anaerobic treatment using HUASB with PUF and PVC described in this work is expected to constitute
a better alternative for the complete treatment of dairy wastewater than high-rate anaerobic, anaerobic/aerobic, and two-phase
anaerobic treatment methods. 相似文献

The Electronic Commerce System should provide prompt responses for user requests and continuous services despite partial failures of its sub systems. In addition, scalability and flexibility should be supported as the number of customers increases. Because Electronic Commerce is beyond the national border, the system should be implemented across different subnets for its efficiency and business needs. This paper proposes the design and implementation of a distributed system infrastructure across different subnets for Electronic Commerce. When the Electronic Commerce system is owned and managed by a small enterprise, the cost should be considered as well as fault tolerance, high availability and scalability. The proposed infrastructure was evaluated and discussed in the aspect of economics such as implementation and management cost, performance and overhead. 相似文献

One of the key roles of an organic solvent has emerged to be the enhancement of oxygen transfer in two-phase partitioning
bioscrubbers (TPPBs). In order to determine an optimum organic fraction for a given VOCs loading, the oxygen demand of the
total cell mass must be estimated, which depends upon the magnitude of the cellular maintenance coefficient. We have estimated
the dynamics of the maintenance coefficient for benzene degradation by Achromobacter xylosoxidans Y234 in a TPPB and found that the maintenance coefficient generally decreased as cells accumulated in the TPPB but converged
to a specific value of 1.750 × 10−2 h−1 at biological steady state. Due to its important influence on all of the essential design parameters of the TPPB system,
including optimum organic fraction, aeration rate and agitation speed, the maintenance coefficient should be considered as
a key biological determinant for microorganism selection, as well as in overall TPPB design. 相似文献
