Pressure as a Limiting Factor for Life
Facts concerning the stability and functioning of key biomolecular components suggest that cellular life should no longer be viable above a few thousand atmospheres (200-300 MPa). However, organisms are seen to survive in the laboratory to much higher pressures, extending into the GPa or even tens of GPa ranges. This is causing main questions to be posed concerning the survival mechanisms of si...
متن کاملInfluence of bacteria on phytoplankton cell mortality with phosphorus or nitrogen as the algal-growth-limiting nutrient
The effects of bacteria on phytoplankton mortality were studied with phosphorus or nitrogen as the algal-growth-limiting nutrients. Experiments were performed with the &atom Ditylum brightwellii using batch cultures, steady state continuous cultures and batch-mode cultures which were starved for the limiting nutrient after being preconditioned in a chemostat. With phosphorus limiting algal grow...
متن کاملIncreased Mercury release due to exposure to electromagnetic radiation as a limiting factor for using dental amalgam
Background: Although it is one of the most toxic nonradioactive elements, mercury is widely used in dental amalgam. Mercury is a toxic element which can damage various organs such as central nervous system, renal, respiratory and hematologic systems. The adverse health impacts associated to exposure to some common sources of electromagnetic fields including laptop computers, mobile phones, ...
متن کاملOn the Limiting Probability Distribution of a Transition Probability Tensor
In this paper we propose and develop an iterative method to calculate a limiting probability distribution vector of a transition probability tensor P arising from a higher-order Markov chain. In the model, the computation of such limiting probability distribution vector x can be formulated as a Z-eigenvalue problem Pxm−1 = x associated with the eigenvalue 1 of P where all the entries of x are r...
متن کاملCapsule enhances pneumococcal colonization by limiting mucus-mediated clearance.
Expression of a polysaccharide capsule is required for the full pathogenicity of many mucosal pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. Although capsule allows for evasion of opsonization and subsequent phagocytosis during invasive infection, its role during mucosal colonization, the organism's commensal state, remains unknown. Using a mouse model, we demonstrate that unencapsulated mutants r...
