    Abstract: Given a sequential resource allocation system (RAS) topology structure, a state space, called an impulse state space, corresponding to the impulse response of a linear time-invariant system (LTS), is computed by small enough configuration of the considered RAS. Given an initial resource configuration of a RAS which corresponds to an input of an LTS, a complete state enumeration can be obtained by defining the convolution of this configuration with the pre-computed impulse state space. One example embodiment reduces central processing unit (CPU) time to process instructions that compute a target state space of a RAS includes constructing an initial RAS and an initial state space, and extending the initial state space iteratively under a target resource configuration.

    Abstract: A method of treating a subject, in particular a human, suffering from non-small cell lung cancer includes administering a bufadienolide to the subject. A method of inhibiting the proliferation and inducing the cell death of non-small cell lung cancer cells, a method of inhibiting the Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase activity in non-small cell lung cancer cells harboring an abnormality in the EGFR gene, and a method of inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase in non-small cell lung cancer cells includes contacting those cells with a bufadienolide. Proscillaridin A as bufadienolide, with the structure of Formula (III) has advantageously high cytotoxicity against EGFR-dependent non-small cell lung cancer at nano-molar levels while having low toxicity to normal lung cells.

    Abstract: Controlling operation of a converter circuit regulating power transfer between first and second voltage sources includes comparing a detected power value in the converter circuit with a power command value; determining a converter gain based on detected first and second voltage levels of the first and second voltage sources; and determining operation signals for transmitting to switches in the converter circuit during a steady state to control switching time and duration. When the detected power value differs from the power command value, the method includes determining values of two or more variables associated with adjustment of switching time and duration based on the detected first and second voltage levels; and determining operation signals to transmit to the switches during a power transition state based on the determined values of the two or more variables to adjust switching time and switching duration of the switches, thereby regulating power transition.

    Abstract: A compound for treating a disease, in particular cancer like non-small cell lung cancer, exceptionally inhibits activity of oncogenic ALK kinase. Compositions, particularly pharmaceutical compositions, are provided comprising this compound. Methods for targeting cancer cells harboring an abnormality in the ALK gene are also The compound for treating a disease has certain structural elements, namely a tricyclic, more specifically heterocyclic, backbone as the core part of the compound at least one highly electronegative atom in form of a tertiary amine attached to the backbone via an at most 6-membered linking group with a terminal highly electronegative atom in form of a nitrogen as secondary amine, and a further hydrophobic moiety fused to the backbone. The structural components allow for an advantageous interaction with the ALK kinase domain. The compound therefor represents a highly promising treatment option for patients in particular those bearing ALK-dependent non-small cell lung cancer.
