We purified a laccase isoenzyme, Lad 1 from Galerina sp. HC1 using a combination of anion exchange- and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Lad l has a molecular mass of 64 kDa, an isoelectric point of 4, and 3.35 copper atoms/enzyme molecule. The enzyme has features typical of fungal blue laccases. The sequences of two internal peptides were highly similar to reported laccase sequences from o

We argue that leadership promotion in China’s political elite relies on homophily for signals of trustworthiness and future cooperative behavior more than on economic performance. We first point to the limitation of the economic performance argument from within the framework of China’s specific M-form state structure, and then we proffer a sociological explanation for why higher-level elites in Ch

Successful enlargement of the small aortic root in children has remained a management challenge, particularly in the neonates and small infants. Achieving this aim requires thorough understanding of the anatomic features of the left ventricular outflow tract, careful patient selection, and skilful execution of complex surgery. This article reviews the anatomical principles upon which the surgical

The content of the thesis is divided into two parts; graph theory and linear programming. The main results in the first part concerns extremal graph theory. Here we want to determine the number of edges in a graph needed to ensure the existence of certain local structures. Upper and lower bounds are given for the number of edges in a graph to ensure triangles and quadrilaterals respectively, when

We discuss γ ∗γ ∗→ ηc(1S) ; ηc (2S) transition form factor for both virtual photons. The general formula is given. We use difierent models for the cc̄ wave function obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation for diffierent cc̄ potentials: harmonic oscillator, Cornell, logarithmic, power-law, Coulomb and Buchmüller{Tye. We showed some examples of wave functions in the Light Front repres

To remain competitive in the field of manufacturing today, companies must make their industrial robots smarter and allow them to collaborate with one another in a more effective manner. This is typically done by adding some form of learning, or artificial intelligence (AI), to the robots. These learning algorithms are often packaged as cloud functions in a remote computational center since the a

In this work, we investigate production of Drell-Yan (DY) pairs in proton-nucleus collisions in kinematic regions where the corresponding coherence length does not exceed the nuclear radius, RA, and the quantum coherence effects should be treated with special care. The results for the nucleus-to-nucleon production ratio available in the literature so far are usually based on the assumption of a ve

A quantitative methodology based on in-line UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and on-line evaporative light scattering detection for supercritical fluid extraction is proposed. The method was applied to the extraction of carotenoids, chlorophyll A, ergosterol and total lipids from microalgae. One regression technique and two curve resolution techniques were applied on the absorption spectroscopy data

We report studies of charge-independent (CI) and charge-dependent (CD)two-particle differential number correlation functions, R2 (Δη,Δ℘), and transverse momentum correlation functions, P2 (Δη,Δ℘) of charged particles produced in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC centre-of-mass energy √sNN= 2.76 TeV with the UrQMD, AMPT and EPOS models. Model predictions for R2 and P2 correlation functions are presented

This article explores the holistic approach to Leo Hurwitz's documentary aesthetic, by looking at how "Dialogue with a Woman Departed" (1981) interweaves the portrait of an individual with the contemporary history of the American nation and with the cyclical processes of nature.

BackgroundThere is a need for the development of accurate, accessible and efficient screening instruments, focused on early-stage detection of neurocognitive disorders. The Geras Solutions cognitive test (GSCT) has showed potential as a digital screening tool for cognitive impairment but normative data are needed.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to obtain normative data for the GSCT in cognitive

BackgroundSome patients scheduled for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) only undergo explorative laparotomy (open/close procedure) due to extensive tumor spread or challenges in achieving complete cytoreduction (CC0). This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and overall survival in patients with peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) who only

Communication between sound and music experts is based on the shared understanding of a metaphorical vocabulary derived from other sensory modalities. Yet, the impact of sound expertise on the mental representation of these sound concepts remains blurry. To address this issue, we investigated the acoustic portraits of four metaphorical sound concepts (brightness, warmth, roundness, and roughness)
