This study aimed to test method on the accuracy of estimating the items parameters and ability, using the Three Parameter Logistic. To achieve the objectives of the study, an achievement test in chemistry was constructed for third-year secondary school students in the course of "natural sciences". A descriptive approach was employed to conduct the study. The test was applied to a sample of (507) students of the third year of secondary school in the "Natural Sciences Course". The study's results revealed that the (EAP) method showed a higher degree of accuracy in the estimation of the difficulty parameter and the abilities of persons higher than the MML method. There were no statistically significant differences in the accuracy of the parameter estimation of discrimination and guessing regarding the difference of the two methods: (MML) and (EAP).

In this paper, an efficient algorithm and area-efficient hardware architecture have been proposed for $2{\times}2$ MIMO-OFDM based WLAN baseband modem with two transmit and two receive antennas. To enhance the performance of the receiver, the efficient timing synchronization algorithm and symbol detector based on MML algorithm are presented. Also, by sharing the hardware block with multi-stage pipeline structure and using the complex multiplier based on polar-coordinate, the complexity of the proposed architecture is dramatically decreased. The proposed area-efficient hardware design was designed in hardware description language (HDL) and synthesized to gate-level circuits using 0.13um CMOS standard cell library. As a result, the complexity of the proposed modem receiver is reduced by 56% over the conventional architecture.

Autophagy is an evolutionally conserved cytoplasmic degradation system in which varieties of materials are sequestered by a double membrane structure, autophagosome, and delivered to the lysosomes for the degradation. Due to the wide varieties of targets, autophagic activity is essential for cellular homeostasis. Recent genetic evidence indicates that autophagy has a crucial role in the regulation of animal lifespan. Basal level of autophagic activity is elevated in many longevity paradigms and the activity is required for lifespan extension. In most cases, genes involved in autophagy and lysosomal function are induced by several transcription factors including HLH-30/TFEB, PHA-4/FOXA and MML-1/Mondo in long-lived animals. Pharmacological treatments have been shown to extend lifespan through activation of autophagy, indicating autophagy could be a potential and promising target to modulate animal lifespan. Here we summarize recent progress regarding the role of autophagy in lifespan regulation.

In this paper, we propose a novel signal detection method that achieves the maximum likelihood (ML) performance but requires much less computational complexity than the ML detection. When the well-known linear decoding method is used for space-time block coded (STBC) OFDM systems in fast-fading channels, co-channel interference (CCI) as well as inter-carrier interference (ICI) occurs. A maximum likelihood (ML) method can be employed to deal with the CCI; however, its computational complexity is very high. In this paper, we propose a signal detection method for orthogonal space-time coded OFDM systems that achieves the similar error performance as the ML method, but requires much less computational complexity.

Auricularia auricula (Heterobasidiae) called 'tree ear' or 'ear mushroom' was investigated to know its antidiabetic effect. Administration of dried powder of Auricularia auricula mycelia (AAM) (0.5 g/kg bw and 1.0 g/kg bw) caused a statistically significant reduction of plasma glucose (35% and 39%, respectively), total cholesterol (18% and 22%, respectively), triglyceride (12% and 13%, respectively), GOT (53% and 56%, respectively) GPT (26% and 37%, respectively), levels and the rate of liver weight against final total body weight (6% and 7%, respectively) compared with diabetic control group. These results support the antidiabetic effect of AAM.

The wear behavior of thermal sprayed AlSiMg-40TiC composite coatings were studied as a function of load and sliding velocity under unlubricated conditions. Experiments were performed using a block-on-ring(WC-6wt%/Co, Hv 1500) type. The tests were carried out a various load(30∼ 125.5N) and sliding velocity(0.5∼2.0m/s). Three wear rate regions were observed in the AlSiMg-40TiC composite coatings. The wear rate in region I at low load (less then 8N( were less than 1×{TEX}$10^{-5}${/TEX}㎣/m. Low wear rates in region I resulted from the load-bearing capacity of TiC particles. The transition from region I to II occurred when the applied load exceeded the fracture and pull-out strength of the particles. The TiC fractured particles trapped between the specimen and the counterface acted as third-body abrasive wear. The subsurface layer worn surface in region II was composed of the mechanically mixed layer (MML). The wear rate increase abruptly above a critical load (region III). The high wear rate in region III was induced by frictional temperature and involves massive surface damage.

The immunosuppressive activity of the Methanol extract of bark of Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) consisting of a mixture of saponins, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, phenol and glycosides was studied on the immune responses in mice. Methanol extract of Madhuca longifolia (MLL) was administered orally at doses of 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg/day to healthy mice divided into four groups consisting of six animals each. The assessment of immunomodulatory activity was carried out by testing the humoral (antibody titre) and cellular (foot pad swelling) immune responses to the antigenic challenge by sheep RBCs. Furthermore, the effect on hematological parameters as well as relative organ weight was determined. On oral administration MML showed a significant decrease delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response whereas the humoral response to sheep RBCs was unaffected. Thus MLL significantly suppressed the cellular immunity by decreasing the footpad thickness response to sheep RBCs in sensitized mice. With a dose of 100 and 150 mg/kg/day the DTH response was $7.66{\pm}2.75$ and $6.41{\pm}1.21$ respectively in comparison to corresponding value of $14.50{\pm}2.38$ for untreated control group. These differences in DTH response were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The study demonstrates that MLL shows preferential suppression of the components of cell-mediated immunity and shows no effect on the humoral immunity.
