The present invention is directed to methods and compositions that are effective in the inhibition of viral replication. In particular, the methods and compositions are effective at interfering with the activity of host cell proteins required in viral replication. For example, an embodiment of the invention is directed to inhibition of flavivirus replication wherein the replication is effected by changing the normal interactions of the host cell protein TIAR or TIA-1.

International Classification:
A61L 9/22 A61L 9/20 A61L 2/10 A61L 2/24 A61L 2/26
Abstract:
A germicidal device includes a purification/disinfection and LED lighting member configured to generate UVC light and negative air ions for destroying microorganisms and removing odors in a space in which the purification and sterilization member is placed; a sensing member configured to detect at least one event occurred in said space in real time; and a microcontroller unit coupled with the purification and sterilization member and the sensing member for controlling operations of the purification and sterilization member in a respective state in accordance with the at least one event occurred in said space and energy saving. The UVC light has one or more wavelengths in a range of about 100-400 nm.

International Classification:
G01V 99/00 G06T 17/05 G06T 7/50 G06Q 10/04
Abstract:
A method and a system for modeling a three-dimensional geological structure. A method may comprise selecting input data from well measurement systems, seismic surveys or other sources, inputting the input data into an information handling system, building a quotient space, projecting constraints to the quotient space, constructing depth functions on the quotient space, trimming against a fault network, and producing a three-dimensional model of horizons. A system may comprise a downhole tool. The downhole tool may comprise at least one receiver and at least one transmitter. The system may further comprise a conveyance and an information handling system. The information handling system may be configured to select an input data, build a quotient space, project constraints to the quotient space, construct depth functions on the quotient space, trim against a fault network, and produce a three-dimensional model of a geological structure.

Assignee:
University of Houston System - Houston TX
International Classification:
C01B 25/42 C01G 19/02 H01M 8/1016
Abstract:
A method of restoring the proton conductivity of a sintered pyrophosphate membrane of intermediate temperature fuel cells (IT-FCs) by introducing phosphoric acid into the sintered SnPOmembrane to react with the degraded SnPOspecies and thus restore the membrane pyrophosphate and proton conductivity. Such cells operate with low external humidification, and the active area of the cells may be fabricated up to 100 cmin size.

Abstract:
Described herein are tricyclic macrolactones. The macrolactones have a high binding affinity for PKC. The compounds described herein can be used in a number of therapeutic applications including the treatment or prevention of viral infection.

The methods permit the high-yield synthesis of macrolactones in a low number of steps and with a high degree of substitution and specificity.
The present disclosure relates to an engineered microbe capable of improved productivity of fatty acid or fatty acid derivative. An NAD-dependent 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase or NAD-dependent 3-oxoacyl-CoA reductase replaces or supplements the native NADP-dependent 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase so as to utilize the higher availability of NAD rather than NADP in the cell. Higher production, yield and titer of fatty acids are therefore obtained. Such microbes can be combined with other mutations to further improve yield of fatty acids or fatty acid derivatives.
