Abstract:
A process for substantially reducing levels of circulating chromatin fragments (CCFs) from a medium using binding agents such as antibodies or antibodies complexed with haemocompatible natural polymer substrates like as alginates, chitosan and pullulan to form complexed antibody-substrate nano-particulates (CNP) to bind and/or inactivate CCFs is disclosed. The amount of antibody bound to the polymer varies from 30% to 100% of activated sites in the polymer. Elevated levels of CCFs can be substantially reduced following administration of tissue damaging agents that generate apoptotic chromatin fragments by the concomitant administration of CNPs or concomitant administration of H4 antibody alone. A method of treatment is disclosed wherein therapeutic dose of CNPs, or H4 antibody alone, are administered systematically, or orally, in a delivery system to curb pathological conditions that are associated with increased burden of circulating chromatin fragments.
Abstract:
A method for estimating channel state information (CSI) for a communication channel is disclosed. Theoretical channel capacities are calculated using combinations of rank indicator (RI) and precoding matrix index (PMI) values. A number of these theoretical channel capacities are selected and used for determining an optimum combination of channel quality indicator (CQI) values, RI values and PMI values. This combination of values is subsequently transmitted as CSI.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method, a system and a computer program product for managing the data of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools in data processing units. This data is managed by a database management system. Data entries that are added to a database are sorted, compressed and stored. These data entries can be easily retrieved from the database that is based on a retrieval key.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pH sensitive nanoparticulate delivery system for the administration of peptide hormones and drugs. In particular it provides a pH sensitive nanoparticulate for oral insulin administration. The nanoparticles developed by this process are fatty acid nanoparticles and a polymer is used as a stabilizer and also to incorporate pH sensitivity so that these particles shrink in the gastric acidic pH thereby protecting the incorporated insulin. These particles being also hydrophobic in nature and by virtue of their small size get absorbed through the intestinal cell wall and Peyer's patches. These nanoparticles are novel and unique in the sense that polymer content is only 0.03-0.06 g/g product and the polymer is hydrophilic in nature.

Abstract:
A bidirectional module for activation of gene expression and regulation of transcription in both directions is disclosed. The bidirectional module comprises multiple cis regulatory DNA sequence elements, strategically arranged to give a ‘Transcription Activating Module’ that achieves high level expression from a ‘Transcription Initiation Module’. The latter functions like a minimal promoter. The former activates transcription simultaneously in both the directions from the latter and also responds to several transcription inducing, external stimuli in both the directions. Since it is an artificially designed bidirectional transcription module, it has no equivalent DNA sequence in plant genome. This reduces the chances of the genes from being silenced by homology based mechanisms. A bidirectional promoter module as this, can therefore be used to develop efficient vectors for genetic engineering in plants.
