Pleurotus species secrete phenol oxidase enzymes: laccase (Lcc) and manganese peroxidase (MnP). New genotypes of these species show potential to be used in processes aiming at the degradation of phenolic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dyes. Hence, a screening of some strains of Pleurotus towards Lcc and MnP production was performed in this work. Ten strains were grown through s...

357 interested in a rapid, readable survey of the field. For those interested in more limited phases of protein research, the bibliography will prove helpful.

This study is concerned with the relationship between firm size and High Performance Management Practices (HPMP). The study was conducted in the context of Small & Medium-size Enterprises (SMEs) in the service and manufacturing sector in a Pakistani context, more specifically within Karachi. The primary data was collected through a survey of HPMP and as such the study is quantitative in nature....

This study was conducted to examine whether oral-health promotion programs provided as an occupational health service for employees were cost-beneficial for employers. The subjects were composed of 357 male workers (20–59 yr of age) who participated in oral-health promotion programs conducted at their workplaces between 1992 and 1997. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental study desi...

In this paper we present new observations of the gravitational lens system JVAS B0218+357 made with a global VLBI network at a frequency of 8.4 GHz. Our maps have an rms noise of 30 μJy beam and with these we have been able to image much of the extended structure of the radio jet in both the A and B images at high resolution (∼1 mas). The main use of these maps will be to enable us to further c...

We present preliminary polarisation VLBI maps of the gravitational lens system B0218+357, made at 3 different frequencies. 1. Summary We have made VLBI polarisation observations of the gravitational lens system Reduction of the data was made using standard procedures in the AIPS software package. Preliminary maps are presented in Figure 1. The " core " and " knot " components , seen by Patnaik ...

Purpose: Researchers, practitioners, government leaders, as well other stakeholders keep expressing a great deal of interest mostly in the close connection between economic inclusion with women having entrepreneurship on both national and international scale. Theoretical framework: The fundamental objective is still to increase women's access finance so they can engage entrepreneurship. latest ...
