Reexploring 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (MICA) as a potential antidiabetic agent
5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (MICA) is a potent hypoglycemic agent that inhibits gluconeogenesis in the liver. It is also a well-known inhibitor of mitochondrial dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. MICA was extensively studied in the 1960s and 1970s and

Resolving the intrinsic short-range ordering of K+ ions on cleaved muscovite mica [PDF]
Mica is a naturally occurring 2D mineral that has been heavily studied in many diverse areas. Here authors present atomic force microscopy images to study the mica surface in ultra-high vacuum conditions; they unveil the distribution of its surface K ...

Since accurate quantification of 2-deoxy-2–18F-fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) requires dynamic acquisition with arterial input function, more practical semi-quantitative (static) approaches are often preferred.

Pairwise-Covariance Multi-view Discriminant Analysis for Robust Cross-View Human Action Recognition
Human action recognition (HAR) under different camera viewpoints is the most critical requirement for practical deployment. In this paper, we propose a novel method that leverages successful deep learning-based features for action representation and ...
