Cork-ring widths have been extensively used in dendroecological studies assessing the relationship between cork growth patterns and climate (precipitation temperature). Generally, is assumed as a proxy for stem diameter to address oak (Quercus suber L.) sensitivity yield modeling. Cork represents large part of radial increment this species due enhanced activity phellogen when compared cambium a...

The FhuA outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli actively transports ferrichrome, albomycin, and rifamycin CGP 4832, and confers sensitivity to microcin J25, colicin M, and the phages T1, T5, and phi80. Guided by the FhuA crystal structure and derived predictions on how FhuA might function, mutants were isolated in the cork domain (residues 1 to 160) and in the beta-barrel domain (residues 1...

Difficult problems can offer too many choices, many of which are incompatible, few of which are optimal. The Cork Constraint Computation Centre (4C) develops the basic science that will make it easier for computers to help us make these choices. Some examples of constraints: • The meeting must start at 6:30. • The separation between the soldermasks and nets should be at least 0.15mm. • This mod...
