Ellagic acid: A potent glyoxalase-I inhibitor with a unique scaffold by Al-Shar’i Nizar A., Al-Balas Qosay A., Hassan Mohammad A., El-Elimat Tamam M., Aljabal Ghazi A., Almaaytah Ammar M.

“…Ellagic acid was found, computationally and experimentally, to be the most potent GLO-I inhibitor among the tested compounds which showed an IC50 of 0.71 mmol L−1. Its binding to the GLO-I active site seemed to be mainly driven by ionic interaction via its ionized hydroxyl groups with the central Zn ion and Lys156, along with other numerous hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. …”

Flowering characteristics and breeding system of Deutzia parviflora by WANG Qi, LI Jinyu, WANG Xinyi, WANG Yixuan, GUO Wei, YUAN Tao

“…[Conclusion] There is no apomixis in D . parviflora and the breeding system is a mixed mating system, dominanted by outcrossing mechanism, requiring pollinators, and it is more fertile and can be used as a parent for hybrid breeding in the genus Deutzia. Its low self-incompatibility is not due to dichogamy and herkogamy.…”

Face recognition using decision fusion of multiple sparse representation-based classifiers by Biao TANG, Wei JIN, Randi FU, Fei GONG

“…A new approach to face recognition combining decision fusion and multiple sparse representation-based classifiers was proposed to improve the robustness of the traditional methods.Different types of facial features were extracted,followed by training multiple sparse representation sub-classifiers,and then decision fusion was used to obtain the recognition result of the system.The significant advantage of the proposed scheme lines in that the final recognition results were not driven by averaging outputs of multiple sub-classifiers,but driven by combining multiple outputs via weighted fusion method.In particular,the fusion weights were adaptively determined by an iterative pro-cedure according to the different classification performance of each sub-classifier.Extensive experiments on Yale B,JAFFE and AR face databases demonstrate that the proposed approach is much more effective than state-of-the-art methods in dealing with lighting changes,expression changes and face occlusion and multi factor mixed interference.…”
