Many existing systems are written in c and are not re-entrant or thread safe. Sometimes these systems are required in a context for which they were not first designed, possibly meaning they now need to be re-entrant. This article introduces a program that filters c source code, modifying shared resources (the global variables) to make the code re-entrant: 'virtualizing' the code. The code is then compiled as normal. This approach allows programmatic virtualization with little cost at runtime. copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The kinematic viscosity of Fe-Mn-c melts is measured with Mn contents of 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.0, 15.0, 17.5, 20.0, and 25.0 wt % and ccontents of 0.4 to 2.2 wt %. The kinematic viscosity is measured using damped torsional vibrations of a crucible with a melt upon the heating and subsequent cooling of the samples. The temperatures at which the characteristics of the viscous flow change and the liquid-liquid structural transition occurs in Fe-Mn-c melts are determined using the results from measuring the kinematic viscosity.

The surface adhesion between c. elegans and the agar plates on which they are commonly grown has yet to be accurately quantified. c. elegans is a scientifically important species of nematode whose simple structure allowed the first mapping of the complete nervous system in a multicellular organism. One of the current topics of research in the c. elegans community is the investigation of neuronal function in locomotion. Models of locomotion are used in these studies to aid in determination of the functions of specific neurons involved in locomotion. The adhesion force plays a critical role in developing these models. This paper presents the experimental determination of the adhesion energy of a representative sample of c. elegans. Adhesion energy was determined by a direct pull-off technique. In this approach, nematodes are anesthetized to prevent movement and secured to a small load cell before an agar plate is slowly brought into contact with the specimen and then removed. The maximum tensile force is then fit to a JKR-type adhesion model, which assumes that the nematode is a cylinder in order to determine the adhesion energy. Repeated adhesions are also investigated to determine the importance of drying on the measured adhesion force. From these experiments, the adhesion energy was found to be W =4.94 +/- 1.19 mJ/m(2). Limited experiments on the rol-6 cuticle mutant found a lower adhesion energy W =2.65 +/- 1.16 mJ/m(2) for these animals.

We consider the stochastic queue core problem on a tree network. Our aim is to find an optimal path on a tree network subject to the average travel time of particles moving along the tree for service given by a server traversing along the optimal path. We assume that particles originating at a node on a tree network request their demands for service randomly and the server is modeled first by an M/M/1 and then by an M/G/1 queue using the FIFO discipline. We consider that all paths along which the particles travel are modeled with an M/G/c/c state-dependent queue with the particles being independent of each other having demands according to the Poisson distribution. Two algorithms are developed for computing the optimal path on a tree network along with the M/M/1 and the M/G/1 queues. The computational complexity of the algorithms and illustrative numerical results obtained by implementations of the algorithms in MATLAB software environment are given.

Brown adipose tissue is important for maintaining energy homeostasis and adaptive thermogenesis in rodents and humans. As disorders arising from dysregulated energy metabolism, such as obesity and metabolic diseases, have increased, so has interest in the molecular mechanisms of adipocyte biology. Using a functional screen, we identified cyclin c (cycc), a conserved subunit of the Mediator complex, as a novel regulator for brown adipocyte formation. siRNA-mediated cycc knockdown (KD) in brown preadipocytes impaired the early transcriptional program of differentiation, and genetic KO of cycccompletely blocked the differentiation process. RNA sequencing analyses of cycc-KD revealed a critical role of cycc in activating genes co-regulated by peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR alpha) and ccAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (c/EBP alpha). Overexpression of PPAR gamma(2) or addition of the PPAR gamma ligand rosiglitazone rescued the defects in cycc-KO brown preadipocytes and efficiently activated the PPAR gamma-responsive promoters in both WT and cycc-KO cells, suggesting that cycc is not essential for PPAR gamma transcriptional activity. In contrast, cycc-KO significantly reduced c/EBP alpha-dependent gene expression. Unlike for PPAR gamma, overexpression of c/EBP alpha could not induce c/EBP alpha target gene expression in cycc-KO cells or rescue the cycc-KO defects in brown adipogenesis, suggesting that cycc is essential for c/EBP alpha-mediated gene activation. cycc physically interacted with c/EBP, and this interaction was required for c/EBP alpha transactivation domain activity. consistent with the role of c/EBP alpha in white adipogenesis, cycc-KD also inhibited differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells into white adipocytes. Together, these data indicate that cycc activates adipogenesis in part by stimulating the transcriptional activity of c/EBP alpha.

In this paper, co3O4/NiO/ccomposites were prepared by in situ co-precipitation and heat treatment with Zn/co-ZIF-derived N-doped porous carbon as carbon matrix. The structure and constituent of co3O4/NiO/ccomposites were detected by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and other test methods. The result showed that Nico-LDH nanosheets grew evenly on the surface of porous carbon matrix. co3O4/NiO/ccomposites retained the dodecahedral shape of the carbon matrix. Electrochemical performance was investigated through electrochemical workstation and LAND-cT2001A battery test system. The results showed that the co3O4/NiO/c electrode has a higher initial discharge specificcapacity of 1673.0 mA h g(-1) at 0.1 A g(-1), and it could still maintain the discharge specificcapacity of 1167.8 mA h g(-1) after 100 cycles. The co3O4/NiO/c showed a high reversible capacity of 812.3 mA h g(-1) after 500 cycles at 0.5 A g(-1). The co3O4/NiO/c electrode exhibited excellent lithium storage performance, which can be attributed to the unique functionalities of the ternary components: NiO and co3O4 can guarantee high specificcapacity, while the carbon matrix can improve the conductivity and the stability of the structure. Therefore, co3O4/NiO/ccomposite was expected to be anode material for lithium storage equipment.

With the increase in application, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWcNTs) are potentially bioavailable to environmental organisms. However, the potential transgenerational effect of MWcNTs and underlying mechanisms remains still unclear. Here, we examined transgenerational MWcNT toxicity and the underlying mechanism mediated by germline long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in caenorhabditis elegans. Exposure to 0.1-10 mu g/L MWcNT caused transgenerational toxicity reflected by endpoints of brood size and locomotion behavior. Meanwhile, among germline lncRNAs, expression of 5 lncRNAs were dysregulated by MWcNT exposure. Among these 5 dysregulated lncRNAs, only germline RNAi of linc-7 affected MWcNT toxicity. Increase in germline linc-7 expression was observed transgenerationally, and transgenerational MWcNT toxicity was prevented in linc-7 (RNAi) nematodes. Moreover, germline linc-7 controlled transgenerational MWcNT toxicity by activating downstream DAF-12, a transcriptional factor. Therefore, our data indicated the association between induction of transgenerational MWcNT toxicity and increase in germline linc-7 expression in organisms.

In this paper, impact damage behaviours of c/Sic rigid-felt titanium alloy three-layered plate under normal impact are investigated. First, low velocity impact experiment of the three-layered plate is performed by means of a drop weight impact apparatus. Second, the finite element model of the three-layered plate is established using a damage constitutive model;also, the influences of the initial kinetic energy (the initial velocity and the mass of the impactor) on stress distributions and damage patterns of the three-layered plate are analysed. Finally, the energy dissipation mechanisms and failure characterizations of the three-layered plate are discussed;also, the agreements of physical variables and damage morphologies between experimental and numerical results validate the reliability of numerical simulation. The results will play an important role in designing and evaluating advanced thermal protection structure.

Four kinds of sandwich-structured c/c-Sic and c/c-Sic-Zrccomposites with or without a Sic interphase deposited by isothermal chemical vapor infiltration (IcVI), were designed and fabricated by a joint process of electromagneticcoupling chemical vapor infiltration (EcVI) and precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP). The fabricated composites are macroscopically nonhomogeneous materials with low density, high strength and low ablation rate. The interphase and matrix constituents had remarkable effects on the mechanical and ablation properties of these composites. The c/c-Siccomposites with an IcVI-Sic interphase exhibited the highest flexural strength of 306.5 MPa. While the c/c-Sic-Zrccomposites with the interphase showed the best antiablation performance with low linear and mass ablation rates of 0.37 mu m/s and 0.04 mg/cm2.s, respectively, after the ablation for 500 s under an oxyacetylene flame test at around 2000 degrees c.
