The interference of some specific aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) phase-forming components in bovine serum albumin (BSA) determination by the Bradford method was investigated. For this purpose, calibration curves were obtained for BSA in the presence of different concentrations of salts and polymers. A total of 19 salts [Na₂SO₄, (NH₄)₂SO₄, MgSO₄, LiSO₄, Na₂HPO₄, sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0)...

Die Tagung dient dem Austausch zwischen Forschern, Entwicklern und Anwendern, die sich mit Themen aus dem Bereich der Programmiersprachen beschaeftigen. Alle Programmierparadigmen sind von Interesse: imperative, objektorientierte, funktionale, logische, parallele, graphische Programmiersprachen, auch verteilte und nebenlaeufige Programmierung in Intraund Internet-Anwendungen, sowie Konzepte zur...

Xylanases activity (XY) from Aspergillus japonicus URM5620 produced by Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) of castor press cake (Ricinus communis) on different conditions of production and extraction by PEG/citrate aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) were investigated. XY production was influenced by substrate amount (5-10 g), initial moisture (15-35 %), pH (4.0-6.0) and temperature (25-35 °C), obtainin...

Previous studies have suggested a pathogenetic role of autoantibodies (Abs) against ATP synthase (ATPs) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using a mouse model, we found that intracerebroventricular administration of anti-ATPs-Abs, purified from AD patients, leads to poor cognitive performance and pronounced cell damage in the hippocampus, a brain region specifically involved in learning...

Low back pain in patients with myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by painful active myofascial trigger points (ATPs) in muscles. This article reviews a novel, noninvasive modality that combines simultaneous imaging and treatment, thus taking advantage of the electrodermal information available from imaged ATPs to deliver localized neurostimulation, to stimulate peripheral nerve endings (...

BACKGROUND Microalgae can synthesize starch with productivity higher than conventional terrestrial crops, without the need for arable land. However, little is known about processes to extract from microalgae. Here, a biorefinery process described including microalgal cell disruption followed by extraction of and pigments aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) using choline chloride polypropylene glyco...

Background: AutoCert [2] is a formal verification tool for machine generated code in safety critical domains, such as aerospace control code generated from MathWorks Real-Time Workshop. AutoCert uses Automated Theorem Provers (ATPs) [5] based on First-Order Logic (FOL) to formally verify safety and functional correctness properties of the code. These ATPs try to build proofs based on user provi...

STUDY DESIGN Randomized laboratory cadaver study. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of anterior transpedicular screw placement in the cervical spine using conventional fluoroscopy versus computer-assisted navigation. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Traditionally, global cervical instability has required anterior and posterior fixation due to the superior biomech...
