Lipase‐catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution of (R,S)‐fenoprofen thioester in isooctane

A lipase‐catalyzed enantioselective hydrolysis process under in situ racemization of the remaining (R)‐thioetser substrate with trioctylamine as the catalyst was developed for the production of (S)‐fenoprofen from (R,S)‐fenoprofen 2,2,2‐trifluoroethyl thioester in isooctane. Detailed investigations of trioctylamine concentration on the enzyme activation and the kinetic behavior of the thioester in racemization and enzymatic reactions were conducted, in which good agreement between the experimental data and theoretical results was observed. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

Change of foot size with weightbearing. A study of 2829 children 3 to 18 years of age

The change of foot length and width with age has been reported in a few anthropometric studies in the literature. However, the relationship with body height rarely is reported, and the dynamic effect of weightbearing on foot size has not been documented. In this series, 2829 children 3 to 18 years of age of equal gender distribution were included in the study. The foot length and width on weightbearing and nonweightbearing were measured with a special precision electronic caliper. The foot length and width were found to increase linearly from the age of 3 years until 12 years in girls and 15 years in boys. This was followed by a phase during which the increase plateaued. The foot length and width increased significantly on weightbearing at all ages in both genders with a mean of 2.1 to 4.4 mm or 3.1% to 4.8%, respectively. The foot length and width also were found to correlate significantly with the body height in both genders, with a correlation coefficient of 0.96 to 0.98. No significant differences were found between the sizes of the dominant and nondominant foot in either gender.     

Configurable nonlinear filter generator

A configurable nonlinear filter generator is proposed. The nonlinear function employed is key controllable. By changing the key, a different sequence will be obtained. Simulated results show that an optimal linear complexity profile of the sequence can be generated     

An adaptive morphological filter for image processing

Novel types of opening operator (NOP) and closing operator (NCP) are proposed. An adaptive morphological filter is then constructed on the basis of the NOP and NCP. The filter can remove any details consisting of fewer pixels than a given number N, while preserving the other details. Efficient algorithms are also developed for the implementation of the NOP and NCP.     

New theorems for bianisotropic media

The general volume equivalence theorem for bianisotropic scatterers is presented, where the equivalent electric and magnetic currents are determined by a pair of coupled vector integral equations. Moreover, using the general volume equivalence theorem and conventional image principle, image theory is developed for a bianisotropic body over an infinite perfect electric or magnetic conducting ground plane.     

A monoclonal antibody selected for probing the folding of staphylococcal nuclease and its N-terminal fragments

PURPOSE: Nitric oxide (NO) is generated in mammalian tissue by the conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline. The reaction is catalyzed by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO has been suggested to have a dual role in tumor biology with both antitumor and tumor promoter activity. Furthermore, it has been proposed that NO contributes to interleukin-2-induced antitumor activity. Since interleukin-2 is used in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) it was of interest to study the NOS activity in the human kidney and in RCC and its correlation to tumor grade. Furthermore, the effect of cytokine treatment on NOS activity and the effect of NO donor application was studied in cultured cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The effect of cytokine treatment on NOS activity and the effect of NO donor application on cell proliferation was studied in cultured human proximal tubular cells and in RCC cell lines HN4 and HN51. NOS activity was measured by the L-arginine to L-citrulline conversion assay. RESULTS: Calcium-dependent NOS activity was found in all non-malignant kidney tissues (486+/-63 pmol. min(-1) g(-1) tissue). The activity was significantly lower in RCC (24+/-6 pmol. min(-1) g(-1) tissue) and correlated with tumor grade; thus high grade tumors showed lower activity than low grade tumors. Calcium-independent NOS activity was not detected in non-malignant kidney tissue or in RCC tissue. In cultured proximal tubular cells and RCC cell lines HN4 and HN51, cytokine treatment induced a marked increase in NOS activity and NO exerted cytostatic effects on these cell lines. Conclusions: The NOS activity was higher in non-malignant kidney tissue than in RCC tissue and was inversely correlated with tumor grade. Furthermore, cytokine treatment induced a marked increase in NOS activity and NO exerted cytostatic effects on cultured proximal tubular cells and RCC cell lines.     

A novel technique for profiling the lateral n- dopingconcentrations of submicron LDD MOS devices

This paper reports a simple I-V method for the first time to determine the lateral lightly-doped source/drain (S/D) profiles (n^- region) of LDD n-MOSFETs. One interesting result is the direct observation of the reverse-short-channel effect (RSCE). It is observed that S/D n^- doping profile is channel length dependent if reverse short-channel effect exists as a result of the interstitial imperfections caused by Oxide Enhanced Diffusion (OED) or S/D implant. Not only the lateral profiles for long-channel devices but also for short-channel devices can be determined. One other practical application of the present method for device drain engineering has been demonstrated with a LATID MOS device drain engineering work. It is convincible that the proposed method is well suited for the characterization and optimization of submicron and deep-submicron MOSFETs in the current ULSI technology
