The chloroform extract of the aerial part of Limnophila geoffrayi showed antimycobacterial and antioxidant activities. Bioassay-guided fractionation has led to the isolation of the flavones nevadensin (5,7-dihydroxy-6,8,4'-trimethoxyflavone, 1) and isothymusin (6,7-dimethoxy-5,8,4'-trihydroxyflavone, 2). Both compounds 1 and 2 exhibited inhibition activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with equal MIC value of $200{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/mL$. Only compound 2 exhibited antioxidant activity against the radical scavenging ability of DPPH, with the $IC_{50}$ value of $7.7{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/mL$. The crude hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts as well as the pure compounds 1 and 2 did not exhibit mutagenic activity in the Bacillus subtilis recassay.

A H$_{\infty}$ control theory is applied to the design problem of synthesis filters in a mutirate filter bank. We select a desired pure time-delay system as reference model, and then consider the error system between the mutilate filter bank and the reference model. The synthesis filters minimize the ι$_2$-induced norm of the error system.

The SmBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\sub$x/ single crystals were used as seeds to induced YBCO growth in MTG process. As the result, the large bulk oriented YBCO superconductors were prepared with dimension of plane 21mm and 32mm in diameter and 10mm in height. The typical Jc value of the sample is 6.5${\times}$10$^4$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and its flux float force is 4.6N/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The oxygen absorption in large bulk textured YBCO samples in pure oxygen was studied at several constant temperatures. It can be divided into two steps: a chemical reaction step and a diffusion step.

As a relatively new type of multi-layered rubber-based seismic isolators, fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are composed of several thin rubber layers reinforced with flexible fiber sheets. Limited analytical studies in literature have pointed out that "warping" (distortion) of reinforcing sheets has significant influence on buckling behavior of FREIs. However, none of these studies, to the best knowledge of authors, has investigated their warping behavior, thoroughly. This study aims to investigate, in detail, the warping behavior of strip-shaped FREIs by deriving advanced analytical solutions without utilizing the commonly used "pressure", incompressibility, inextensibility and the "linear axial displacement variation through the thickness" assumptions. Studies show that the warping behavior of FREIs mainly depends on the (i) aspect ratio (shape factor) of the interior elastomer layers, (ii) Poisson's ratio of the elastomer and (iii) extensibility of the fiber sheets. The basic assumptions of the "pressure" method as well as the commonly used incompressibility assumption are valid only for isolators with relatively large shape factors, strictly incompressible elastomeric material and nearly inextensible fiber reinforcement.

In 2001, Choi, Harsh & Rathie [Some summation formulas for the Appell's function $F_1$. East Asian Math. J. 17 (2001), 233-237] have obtained 11 results for the Appell's function $F_1$ with the help of Gauss's summation theorem and generalized Kummer's summation theorem. We aim at presenting 22 more results for $F_1$ with the help of the generalized Gauss's second summation theorem and generalized Bailey's theorem obtained by Lavoie, Grondin & Rathie [Generalizations of Whipple's theorem on the sum of a $_3F_2$. J. Comput. Appl. Math. 72 (1996), 293-300]. Two interesting (presumably) new special cases of our results for $F_1$ are also explicitly pointed out.

We provide a semilocal convergence result for approximating a solution of a singular system with constant rank derivatives, using Newton's method in an Euclidean space setting. Our approach uses more precise estimates and a combination of two Lipschitz-type conditions leading to the following advantages over earlier works [13], [16], [17], [29]: tighter bounds on the distances involved, and a more precise information on the location of the solution. Numerical examples are also provided in this study.

This paper aims to improve the design of iterative detection and decoding(IDD) based on the soft interference cancellation with minimum mean squared error(SC-MMSE) detector, which shows low performance compared to the maximum a posteriori(MAP) detector. By means of extrinsic information transfer(EXIT) chart analysis, such low performance may be attributed to that the "pure"(original) turbo principle is not always best for IDD. Thus, we propose a new IDD architecture based on the SC-MMSE detector which uses new a priori information. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed IDD is very close to that of IDD based on the MAP detector.

The stability and solubility of piroxicam in propylene glycol (PG), polyethylene glycol (PEC), and PG-water cosolvents have been studied by using high performance liquid chromatography. The degradation rate followed an apparent first-order kinetic and the reaction rate constants at 70, 80, and $90^{circ}C$ were determined. From these rate constants, the activation energy and the rate constant of piroxicam at $25^{circ}C$ in pure PG calculated by Arrhenius equation were 23.34 kcal/mole and $7.0\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;day^{-1}$, respectively. Both of PG and PEG increased the solubility of the drug, but PEG was more effective.
