Asynchronous Dynamic Load Balancing of Tiles (Extended Abstract) (2001)
Tung Nguyen, Michelle Mills, Strout Larry, Carter Jeanne Ferrante
Many scientific computations have work-intensive kernels consisting of nested loops with a regular stencil of data dependences. For such loop nests, tiling [W96] is a well-known compiler optimization...
RL-37, an Alpha-Helical Antimicrobial Peptide of the Rhesus Monkey
Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Boo, Lee Ming, Hong, Teresa, Espiritu, Cesar, Orlov, Dmitri, ...
Rhesus monkey bone marrow expresses a cathelicidin whose C-terminal domain comprises a 37-residue alpha-helical peptide (RL-37) that resembles human LL-37. Like its human counterpart, RL-37 rapidly...
Purification and Properties of Proline-Rich Antimicrobial Peptides from Sheep and Goat Leukocytes
Shamova, Olga, Brogden, Kim A., Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Kokryakov, Vladimir N., Lehrer, Robert I.
We purified three proline-rich antimicrobial peptides from elastase-treated extracts of sheep and goat leukocytes and subjected two of them, OaBac5α and ChBac5, to detailed analysis. OaBac5α and...
Differential Expression of Caprine β-Defensins in Digestive and Respiratory Tissues
Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Liu, Lide, Shamova, Olga, Brogden, Kim, Lehrer, Robert I.
We identified two novel β-defensin precursors, preproGBD-1 and preproGBD-2, in the tissues of a goat. Although the precursors were identical in 96.8% of their bases and 88.2% (60 of 68) of their...
Gallinacin-3, an Inducible Epithelial β-Defensin in the Chicken
Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Liu, Lide, Sacco, Randy E., Brogden, Kim A., Lehrer, Robert I.
Gallinacin-3 and gallopavin-1 (GPV-1) are newly characterized, epithelial β-defensins of the chicken (Gallus gallus) and turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), respectively. In normal chickens, the...
Cole, Alexander M., Hong, Teresa, Boo, Lee Ming, Nguyen, Tung, Zhao, Chengquan, Bristol, Greg, ...
Human bone marrow expresses a pseudogene that encodes an antimicrobial peptide homologous to rhesus monkey circular minidefensins (θ-defensins). We prepared the putative ancestral human peptide by...
Maines, Taronna R., Lu, Xui Hua, Erb, Steven M., Edwards, Lindsay, Guarner, Jeannette, Greer, Patricia W., ...
The spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses across Asia in 2003 and 2004 devastated domestic poultry populations and resulted in the largest and most lethal H5N1 virus outbreak in...
"Getting the lead out" in Hartford, Connecticut: a multifaceted lead-poisoning awareness campaign.
McLaughlin, Tara J, Humphries, Owen, Nguyen, Tung, Maljanian, Rose, McCormack, Katherine
As part of a citywide effort to increase lead poisoning awareness within the city of Hartford, Connecticut, the Hartford Health Department implemented a multifaceted public health campaign involving...
Specific detection of H5N1 avian influenza A virus in field specimens by a one-step RT-PCR assay
