Bacteria-derived antimicrobial peptides known as peptidic bacteriocins offer a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics in the face of emergence multidrug-resistant bacteria. Here, nucleotide sequence gene encoding Lactococcus lactis-derived bacteriocin designated lactiscin selectively identified from GenBank® database was synthesized with an added 6⋅His and cloned into Escherichia coli...

The input motion for seismic analysis of building structures is generally specified in design codes in terms of response spectrum. Therefore, real or simulated time histories for ground motions whose response spectrum matches approximately the design spectrum is desired. Among the various techniques currently available for generating spectrum compatible time histories it is possible to distingu...
