Advances in Chondroitinase delivery for Spinal Cord Repair
No full textChondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) present a formidable barrier to regrowing axons following spinal cord injury. CSPGs are secreted in response to injury and their glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains present steric hindrance preventing the growth of axons through the lesion site. The enzyme chondroitinase has been proven effective at reducing the CSPG GAG chains, however, there are issues with direct administration of the enzyme specifically due to its limited timeframe of activity. In this perspective article, we discuss the evolution of chondroitinase-based therapy in spinal cord injury as well as up-to-date advances on this critical therapeutic. We describe the success and the limitations around use of the bacterial enzyme namely issues around thermostability. We then discuss current efforts to improve delivery of chondroitinase with a push towards gene therapy, namely through the use of lentiviral and adeno-associated viral vectors, including the temporal modulation of its expression and activity. As a chondroitinase therapy for spinal cord injury inches nearer to the clinic, the drive towards an optimised delivery platform is currently underway

A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
No full textThe landscape of Wang Wei's Wang River Villa is examined by reviewing the essays and papers written about the poetical collaboration, the “Wang River Collection.” The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of villa architecture in China. The author expects that this research will contribute to a mutual understanding between cultures. The villa was a Utopia for Wang. On the other hand, he was a pious Buddhist and Buddhistic concepts are reflected in the landscape. I consider the features of the classical landscape of Xie Lingyun and "Chu Ci," as written in “The Collection,” a reflection of the Buddhistic concept. When considering what the classics meant to Wang Wei, it is apparent that his villa is a representation of the classical landscape. It is not an imitation of the classical landscape, but a unique and original creation of art by Wang.departmental bulletin pape
Downlink Space–Time Spreading Using Interference Rejection Codes
No full textIn this paper, the authors will investigate the performance of a loosely synchronized (LS) code-based space–time spreading (STS) scheme in comparison to that of classic Walsh code and pseudonoise code-based STS when communicating over dispersive Nakagami-m multipath channels. Closed-form formulas are derived for characterizing the bit-error-rate performance as a function of the number of resolvable paths L and the number of users K. Our numerical results suggest that the employment of LS code-based STS scheme is beneficial in a low-user-load and low-dispersion channel scenario, where a near-single-user performance can be achieved without a multiuser detector. Index Terms—Code-division multiple access (CDMA), Gaussian approximation, interference-free window (IFW), large area synchronized (LAS) codes, loosely synchronized (LS) codes, Nakagami-m fading
Notes on the Peerage of the Ts'ao-Wei Dynasty
No full textWith a view to clarifying a few interesting points on the peerage system of the Wei of the Three Dynasties period, firstly the author takes up the process of formation of the Ts'ao-Wei peerage, where it consisted of the five-grade peerage of the Chou period, the lieh-hou 列侯 and khuan-nei-hou 關内侯 titles after the Ch'in-Han system, and the peerage created by Wei itself. Secondly, the author discusses the size of the lieh-hou and khuan-nei-hou fiefs in terms of household and their inner structure. Lastly, the author points out that heir apparency was widened under the Wei, though the "inheritance by real son" principle of the Han period was still in practice. In view of the fact that fiefs were sometimes divided even in the life-time of lord the author relates the Wei peerage to its noble lineage system
Using Google Analytics for improving library website content and design: a case study
No full textGoogle Analytics is a free web analytics solution that provides webmasters with insightful information about how visitors find and interact with their websites. In this case study, we have experimented in using Google Analytics to analyze two of our websites: The Rutgers-Newark Law Library main website and The New Jersey Digital Legal Library website. It was used to monitor our visitors' browsing activities and viewing behaviors for three months. Based on our findings from Google Analytics reports, we have redesigned our website. Subsequent data collected by Google Analytics have confirmed that our new design better fits the information needs of our visitors and librarians. Google Analytics is very powerful and can be used for almost any website. We believe that other libraries will benefit from using Google Analytics as well. Limitations of Google Analytics are also discussed based on our experience with it.The published version of this article is available at: http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~mbolin/lpp2007.htm"June, 2007
Juvenalia, or How I came to own a Blu-Ray of Point Break
No full textAgony Klub and Publication Studio Vancouver are pleased to present Whitney Houston, vol. 2. A continuation of Whitney Houston, et. al., editor/author Casey Wei invites six writers to reflect on their relationship to popular music in film, keeping in mind that popular music has always been as much about the desire for an image as about the catchiness of a song. The resulting essays on Elliot Smith, Amélie, Real Genius, The Pixies, Drive, and The Conversation explore themes of time, love, and evolution.final article publishedReal Genius (1985
