This week, we'll look at a much newer class of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors. DPP-4 stands for "dipeptidyl peptidase-4," a type of enzyme.

The two thiazolidinediones (TZDs) available are pioglitazone (brand name Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia), and they both were approved in 1999.

This week's choice of topic is the class of diabetes drugs known as meglitinides.

The medicines highlighted this week are from the newest class of diabetes drugs to hit the scene: SGLT2 inhibitors.

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are a less popular class of medicines for Type 2 diabetes...

Programmable chip can be provided with enough programming power (the largest programming power output is 2 watts that is impossible for a chip to use 2 watts of programming power). The encryption algorithm is so complex that it is not easy to decrypt.

We compared the force of extraction for peripheral nerve catheters under three different situations in a porcine model using untunnelled, tunnelled and double-tunnelled catheters. Following insertion of the catheter into the porcine model, the catheters were either left untunnelled or a single or do …

This paper presents the theoretical investigation on the damage of the submerged floating tunnel (SFT) under extreme loads. Water was modeled by smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Anchor cables, SFT, and submarine were modeled by the finite element method (FEM). Penetrating phenomenon in the calculation process was achieved by the penalty function, and the fluid-solid coupling effect was also considered in the simulation. The process of a submarine striking on the SFT was studied based on the commercial software. The relationships between the energy of the water, submarine, and SFT were studied. The structural and human damages were evaluated using the kinematics and kinetic parameters of the SFT according to the relevant criterion. The results indicate that the SPH-FEM coupling method is suitable to investigate the impact of the SFT in the water. The initial kinetic energy of the submarine is mainly converted into kinetic energy of the water and internal energy of the tunnel. The kinematic parameters at the impact point reach a peak value. The kinematic parameters at the anchor cables reach the minimum value, so the anchor cables can inhibit the development of disaster significantly. The SPH-FEM coupling method can be helpful for collision and explosion analysis of the SFT.

For the first time scientists measure the quantum phenomenon on the atomic scale – each electron-escape happened mind-bogglingly fast

Using quantum tunneling, the lab of Shantanu Chakrabartty, at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, has developed self-powered sensors that can run for more than a year.
