An Escherichia coli mutant lacking three major K(+) uptake systems, Trk, Kup, and Kdp, did not grow under low K(+)and high Na(+) concentrations. The introduction of fkuA and of fkuB of a marine bacterium, Vibrio alginolyticus, has been reported to compensate for the growth defect by accelerating the rate of K(+) uptake (Nakamura, Katoh, Shimizu, Matsuba, and Unemoto, Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 127...

To enhance the inhibitory potential of 1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (ribavirin) vs hepatitis C virus (HCV) NTPase/helicase, ribavirin-5'-triphosphate (ribavirin-TP) was synthesized and investigated. Ribavirin-TP was prepared with the use of modified Yoshikawa-Ludwig-Mishra-Broom procedure (cf. Mishra & Broom, 1991, J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun, 1276-1277) involving phospho...

In this talk, we introduce a new scenario of grand unified theory (GUT) with anomalous U(1)A gauge symmetry. Since generic interactions (including non-renormalizable interactions) are introduced, once we fix the symmetry of the theory, we can define the theory without O(1) coefficients. The number of parameters to determine the symmetry is just 11 or 12 integer parameters which are anomalous U(...

We propose a new lattice reduction method. Our algorithm approximates shortest lattice vectors up to a factor ≤ (k/6) and makes use of Grover’s quantum search algorithm. The proposed method has the expected running time O(n(k/6)A+nA). That is about the square root of the running time O(n(k/6)A+nA) of Schnorr’s recent random sampling reduction which in turn improved the running time to the fourt...

UNLABELLED We describe a three-year experience with patients with dementia. METHOD clinical, cognitive and functional evaluation was performed by a multidisciplinary team for persons above 60 years. Mortality was assessed after three years. RESULTS Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (n=2,074) was 15.7 (8.4). Male patients MMSE (n=758) was 15.6 (8.3) and female's (n=1315) was 15.8 (8.3). I...

Phenology, by controlling the seasonal activity of vegetation on the land surface, plays a fundamental role in regulating photosynthesis and other ecosystem processes, as well as competitive interactions and feedbacks to the climate system. We conducted an analysis to evaluate the representation of phenology, and the associated seasonality of ecosystem-scale CO2 exchange, in 14 models participa...
