Photosystem I (PSI) of higher plants contains 18 subunits. Using Arabidopsis En insertion lines, we have isolated knockout alleles of the genes psaG, psaH2, and psaK, which code for PSI-G, -H, and -K. In the mutants psak-1 and psag-1.4, complete loss of PSI-K and -G, respectively, was confirmed, whereas the residual H level in psah2-1.4 is due to a second gene encoding PSI-H, psaH1. Double muta...

We have used the nonionic detergent octyl-O-D-glucopyranoside in combination with sodium dodecyl sulfate to isolate two novel Photosystem I (PSI) complexes from spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) thylakoid membranes. These complexes have been characterized as to their spectral properties, content of PSI reaction center chlorophyll P7-, and protein composition. PSI-B, purified from solubilized membr...

Recent evidence from leaves and stems indicates that gradients in water potential (psi(w)) necessary for water movement through growing tissues are larger than previously assumed. Because growth is sensitive to tissue psi(w) and the behavior of these gradients has not been investigated in transpiring plants, we examined the water status of all the growing and mature vegetative tissues of maize ...

Abstract Herein, we demonstrate the effectiveness of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to detect trace concentration potentially harmful imidacloprid pesticide. To achieve this ultimate objective, a rapid and highly effective methodology for fabrication active stable porous silicon (PSi) plated palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) SERS substrates by an electrochemical anodization immersion pl...

SETTING A total of 33 hospitals in 13 countries in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the pneumonia severity index (PSI) and the time to clinical stability from intravenous to oral antibiotic therapy in hospitalized adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). DESIGN An international, retrospective, observation...

Photosystems (PS) I and II activities depend on their light-harvesting capacity and trapping efficiency, which vary in different environmental conditions. For optimal functioning, these activities need to be balanced. This is achieved by redistribution of excitation energy between the two photosystems via the association and disassociation of light-harvesting complexes (LHC) II, in a process kn...

From e(+)e(-) collision data acquired with the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we observe the non-DD(_) decay Psi(3770))-->gammachi(c1) with a statistical significance of 6.6 standard deviations, using the two-photon cascades to J/Psi and J/Psi-->l(+)l(-). We determine sigma(e(=)e(-)-->Psi(3770))xBeta(Psi(3770)-->gammachi(c1))=(18.0 +/- 3.3 +/- 2.5) pb and branching fraction...

In this paper, we study the Hyers-Ulam stability with respect to linear differential condition of fourth order. Specifically, treat ${\psi}$ as an interact arrangement condition, i.e., $ \begin{align*} {\psi}^{iv} ({\varkappa}) + {\xi}_1 {\psi}{'''} ({\varkappa})+ {\xi}_2 {\psi}{''} {\xi}_3 {\psi}' {\xi}_4 {\psi}({\varkappa}) = {\Psi}({\varkappa}) \end{align*} $ where ${\psi} \in c^...

the aim of this paper is to study the behaviour of certain sequence of nonlinear durrmeyer operators $nd_{n}f$ of the form $$(nd_{n}f)(x)=intlimits_{0}^{1}k_{n}left( x,t,fleft( tright) right) dt,,,0leq xleq 1,,,,,,nin mathbb{n}, $$ acting on bounded functions on an interval $left[ 0,1right] ,$ where $% k_{n}left( x,t,uright) $ satisfies some suitable assumptions. here we estimate the rate...
