BACKGROUND Manganese peroxidase (MnP) from Irpex lacteus F17 has been shown to have a strong ability to degrade recalcitrant aromatic pollutants. In this study, a recombinant MnP from I. lacteus F17 was expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) in the form of inclusion bodies, which were refolded to achieve an active enzyme. Further, we optimized the in vitro refolding conditions to increase ...

For four decades, satellite-based passive microwave sensors have provided valuable snow water equivalent (SWE) monitoring at a global scale. Before continuous long-term SWE records can be used for scientific or applied purposes, consistency of SWE measurements among different sensors is required. SWE retrievals from two passive sensors currently operating, the Special Sensor Microwave Imager So...

Fenoterol HBr is a bronchodilator known to be subject to first pass effect after oral administration. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate fenoterol HBr suppositories. Suppositories were prepared by a fusion method using different fatty bases, viz. Witepsol H15, Witepsol E75, Suppocire AP, and Suppocire BM, as well as different hydrophilic bases, viz. polyethylene glycol and poloxa...

But when the forecast horizon is greater than the frequency...

The O-Ring theory is used to analyze the emergence of ̄rms organized as partnerships. The owner-managers of such entrepreneurial ̄rms bene ̄t from ability matching within their production teams. However, they must bear the project risk. Risk-aversion then induces a second-best solution. Integrated ̄rms managed on behalf of riskneutral residual-claimants face information and/or enforcement problem...

Bu çalışmada, sol-jel spin kaplama yöntemi kullanılarak mikroskop cam altlıklar üzerine TiO2, TiO2/CoPc ve CoPc filmleri hazırlanmış katkı konsantrasyonunun filmlerin optik yapısal özellikleri etkisi araştırılmıştır. İnce geçirgenliğini ölçmek için 300-1100 nm dalgaboyu aralığında bir spektrofotometre kullanılmıştır. Uv-Vis çalışmaları, B Q bandı absorpsiyon bölgelerine karşılık gelen aralıklar...
