Optimization of β-Mannanase Production from Bacillus licheniformis TJ-101 Using Response Surface Methodology (2008)

Qi, W.; Chemical Engineering Research Center, School Of Chemical Engineering And Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin, 300072, People’s Republic Of China; Enzyme@tju.edu.cn

Plackett-Burman design, central composite design and response surface analysis were carried out with the aim of optimizing culture conditions for β-mannanase production from Bacillus licheniformis...

Re-visiting Direct $J/\psi$ Production at the Fermilab Tevatron (2007)

Hagiwara, K., Qi, W., Qiao, C. F., Wang, J. X.

We re-analyze the direct $\jp$ production processes at the Fermilab Tevatron in view of the recent observation at the B-factories, where both $\jp$ inclusive and exclusive production rates are found...

On the Application of Gluon to Heavy Quarkonium Fragmentation Functions (2007)

Qi, W., Qiao, C. F., Wang, J. X.

We analyze the uncertainties induced by different definitions of the momentum fraction $z$ in the application of gluon to heavy quarkonium fragmentation function. We numerically calculate the initial...

Isolation, propagation and characterization of primary tubule cell culture from human kidney (2007)

Qi, W., Johnson, D.W., Vesey, D.A., Pollock, C., Chen, X.

Proximal tubule cells (PTC) are the major cell type in the cortical tubulointerstitium. Because PTC play a central role in tubulointerstitial pathophysiology, it is essential to prepare pure PTC from...

Integrated actions of transforming growth factor-beta(1) and connective tissue growth factor in renal fibrosis (2005)

Qi, W., Twigg, S., Chen, X., Polhill, T. S., Poronnik, P., Gilbert, R. E., ...

Matrix accumulation in the renal tubulointerstitium is predictive of a progressive decline in renal function. Transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) and, more recently, connective tissue...

Creating Metabolic Network Models using Text Mining and Expert Knowledge (2001)

J. A. Dickerson, D. Berleant, Z. Cox, W. Qi, D. Ashlock, E. Wurtele, ...

RNA profiling analysis and new techniques such as proteomics are yielding vast amounts of data on gene expression and protein levels. This points to the need to develop new methodologies to identify...

A Content-Aware Rate Controller For Streamed Delivery Of Mpeg-4 Fgs Video (2001)

T. M. Liu, W. Qi, H. J. Zhang, F. H. Qi

A content-aware rate controller (CRC) for MPEG-4 FGS stored video streaming over the Internet is proposed. The CRC optimally uses available bandwidth and client buffer to produce smooth video quality...

A Systematic Rate Controller For Mpeg-4 Fgs Video Streaming (2001)

T. M. Liu, W. Qi, H. J. Zhang, F. H. Qi

This paper proposes a systematic rate controller (SRC) for streamed delivery of MPEG-4 FGS video over the Internet. It provides both coarse-grain and fine-grain scalability of rate adaptation to...

Chromium(III)-induced 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in DNA and its reduction by antioxidants: comparative effects of melatonin, ascorbate, and vitamin E.

Qi, W, Reiter, R J, Tan, D X, Garcia, J J, Manchester, L C, Karbownik, M, ...

Chromium compounds are well documented carcinogens. Cr(III) is more reactive than Cr(VI) toward DNA under in vitro conditions. In the present study, we investigated the ability of Cr(III) to induce...

Absence of Fer protein tyrosine kinase exacerbates endotoxin induced intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction in vivo

Qi, W, Ebbert, K V J, Craig, A W B, Greer, P A, McCafferty, D-M

Background and aims: Fer kinase is activated by a number of growth factors and cytokines, and phosphorylates cortactin during cell shape change induced cortical actin reorganisation. In addition, Fer...
