AIMS The objective of this study was to determine the effect of increasing juice soluble solids above 40 degrees Brix on wine yeast's ability to grow and ferment the juice, with particular focus on acetic acid production, titratable acidity (TA) changes and the maximum amount of sugar consumed by the yeast. METHODS AND RESULTS Riesling Icewine juices at 40, 42, 44 and 46 degrees Brix were ino...

Available information concerning the elastic moduli of refractory carbides at temperatures (T) relevance for practical applications is sparse and/or inconsistent. We carry out ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations T = 300, 600, 900, and 1200 K to determine temperature-dependences constants rocksalt-structure (B1) TiC, ZrC, HfC, VC, TaC compounds as well multicomponent high-entropy (Ti...

the type of training system and application of calcium spray have considerable effects on storability of fruits. in this study, the effects of calcium chloride spray (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g.l-1) in three times during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before harvest time on apple (malus domestica) fruits cvs. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’, which trained in three different training systems (v shape, hightech and cordo...

Toxin endoribonucleases of toxin/antitoxin (TA) systems regulate protein production by selectively degrading mRNAs but have never been shown to control other TA systems. Here we demonstrate that toxin MqsR of the MqsR/MqsA system enriches toxin ghoT mRNA in vivo and in vitro, since this transcript lacks the primary MqsR cleavage site 5'-GCU. GhoT is a membrane toxin that causes the ghost cell p...

1 Hysteresis eects All the I SD-V G plots of our devices were accompanied by hysteresis. Fig. S1 (a) shows the channel current of Sample C as a function of gate voltage V G for V SD = 5 V. An increase in V G to 40 V is accompanied by monotonic increase in I SD from ∼1 nA to ∼100 µA. However, with decreasing V G from 40 V to zero (sequence 6-7-8), the current exhibited a hysteresis. The remnant ...

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is the most aggressive skin cancer. Recently, it was demonstrated that human Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) is clonally integrated in approximately 80% of MCC tumors. However, direct evidence for whether oncogenic viral proteins are needed for the maintenance of MCC cells is still missing. To address this question, we knocked down MCV T-antigen (TA) expression in MCV...

In the present work, a series of high-entropy alloys based on refractory metals Hf, Nb, Ta, Ti, V, and Zr with various compositions have been systematically investigated. Our study revealed that bcc single-phase solid solution Hf-Nb-Ta-Ti-V-Zr system is thermodynamically stable only at high temperatures above 1000 °C. At lower temperatures, phase separation into disordered phases slightly diffe...
