The core of the photosynthetic apparatus of purple photosynthetic bacteria such as Rhodobacter capsulatus consists of a reaction center (RC) intimately associated with light-harvesting complex 1 (LH1) and the PufX polypeptide. The abundance of the RC and LH1 components was previously shown to depend on the product of the puhB gene (formerly known as orf214). We report here that disruption of pu...

In eukaryotic cells, an ordered sequence of events leads to the initiation of DNA replication. During the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, a prereplication complex (pre-RC) consisting of ORC, Cdc6, Cdt1, and MCM2-7 is established at replication origins on the chromatin. At the G(1)/S transition, MCM10 and the protein kinases Cdc7-Dbf4 and Cdk2-cyclin E cooperate to recruit Cdc45 to the pre-RC, fol...

This study explores the pervasive socio-political implications of refugee crisis in language and narrative structure interactive fiction Little Amal: The Walk. Hermeneutics semiotic compositional elements contribute to on-going meaningful interaction between interlocutors within context successive narrations story. In this paper, we investigate multimodal conjunction with cultural political int...

Nonlinear effects have been restricting the development of high-speed visible light communication (VLC) systems. Neural network (NN) has become an effective means to alleviate nonlinearity a VLC system due its powerful ability fit complicated functions. However, complex training process traditional NN limits application in VLC. Without performance penalty, reservoir computing (RC) simplifies by...

OBJECTIVES Risk compensation (RC) could reduce or offset the biological prevention benefits of HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among those at substantial risk of infection, including men who have sex with men (MSM). We investigated the potential extent and causal mechanisms through which RC could impact HIV transmission at the population and individual levels. METHODS Using a stochastic ne...

A subset A of a space X is called regular open if A = IntA, and regular closed if X\A is regular open, or equivalently, if A= IntA. A is called semiopen [16] (resp., preopen [17], semi-preopen [3], b-open [4]) ifA⊂ IntA (resp.,A⊂ IntA,A⊂ IntA ,A⊂ IntA∪ IntA). The concept of a preopen set was introduced in [6] where the term locally dense was used and the concept of a semi-preopen set was introd...

Biosurfactants produced by Lactobacillus fermentum RC-14, L. rhamnosus GR-1 and 36, and L. casei Shirota were found to contain proteins that bind to both collagen types III and VI, as determined by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI)-time of flight mass spectrometry. Both collagen types III and VI immobilized on SELDI preactivated ProteinChip arrays detected several different s...

Metal Plate Shear Walls (MPSWs) represent an effective, practical and economical system for the seismic protection of existing RC framed buildings. They consist of one or more metallic thin plates, bolted or welded to a stiff steel frame, which are installed in the bays of RC framed structures. A case study of an existing RC residential 5-storey building, designed between the ‘60s and ‘70s of t...

Reconstructing the KAM dynamics diagram of Hamiltonian system from time series a limited number parameters is an outstanding question in nonlinear science, especially when governing are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that this can be addressed by machine learning approach knowing as reservoir computer (RC). Specifically, show without prior knowledge about Hamilton's equations motion, trained RC ...
