Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) is a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) transport protocol designed to run on top of TCP. The iSCSI session abstraction is equivalent to the classic SCSI "I_T nexus", which represents the logical relationship between an Initiator and a Target (I and T) required in order to communicate via the SCSI family of protocols. The iSCSI session prov...

Protein synthesis in eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts is widely believed to require a formylated initiator methionyl tRNA (fMet-tRNA(fMet)) for initiation. Here we show that initiation of protein synthesis in yeast mitochondria can occur without formylation of the initiator methionyl-tRNA (Met-tRNA(fMet)). The formylation reaction is catalyzed by methionyl-tRNA formyl...

This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...

quinones are a class of compounds which have widespread importance in chemistry, biology and medicine. because of their appropriate performance in electron transferring rate, quinones are among the most applicable mediators in biosensors. recently, the effects of different non-metal substitutions on redox potential of quinone have been investigated to design suitable mediators for different ele...

Four variations of the Koch curve are presented. In each case, similarity dimension, area bounded by fractal and its initiator, volume revolution about initiator calculated. A range classroom exercises proved to allow students investigate fractals further.

The control of monomer polymerization is important when preparing biocompatible devices. The compound 2-(hydroxyethyl)methacrylate can be polymerized by redox systems using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) (as accelerator) and a substituted amine (as initiator). However, this system is associated with a highly exothermic polymerization, and end-products with inflammatory properties are produced. We have ...

The Generalized Approach To Electrolytic Systems (GATES) (Michałowski, 2001, 2010) provides the possibility of thermodynamic description of equilibrium and metastable, redox and non-redox, mono-, twoand three-phase systems, with the possibility of all attainable/pre-selected physicochemical knowledge to be involved, with none simplifying assumptions done for calculation purposes, where differen...

Many organisms control initiation of DNA replication by limiting supply or activity of initiator proteins. In plasmids, such as P1, initiators are limited primarily by transcription and dimerization. However, the relevance of initiator limitation to plasmid copy number control has appeared doubtful, because initiator oversupply increases the copy number only marginally. Copy number control inst...

Two methionine tRNAs from yeast mitochondria have been purified. The mitochondrial initiator tRNA has been identified by formylation using a mitochondrial enzyme extract. E. coli transformylase however, does not formylate the yeast mitochondrial initiator tRNA. The sequence was determined using both 32P-in vivo labeled and 32P-end labeled mt tRNAf(Met). This tRNA, unlike N. crassa mitochondrial...
