The ilvA gene of Pseudomonas cepacia was expressed poorly in Escherichia coli. Insertion of IS2 upstream of the cloned gene dramatically increased its transcription, resulting in an 85-fold increase in threonine dehydratase (deaminase) specific activity. The results confirm earlier reports that IS2 promotes efficient expression of foreign genes in E. coli.

Water canal networks that are widely used for irrigation an equally good source of micropower generation to be fed the nearby areas. A practical example such a system is micro-hydro at Renala Khurd Pakistan integrated with national grid known as hydro–grid configuration. Apart from rare hydro example, solar photovoltaic mainstream network, i.e., PV-Grid configuration, used. The operation combin...

This paper describes the dynamic performance of two area interconnected hydro-hydro power systems when subjected to 1% step load perturbation. For this present study, the system is incorporated with conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller and Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC). The dc link is used as system interconnection in parallel with ac tie-lines. The dc link is considered to be oper...

We performed a series of high-resolution (up to 1024) direct numerical simulations of hydro and MHD turbulence. Our simulations correspond to the ”strong” MHD turbulence regime that cannot be treated perturbatively. We found that for simulations with normal viscosity the slopes for energy spectra of MHD are similar to ones in hydro, although slightly more shallower. However, for simulations wit...

Appropriate modeling of components and related controllers are very significant in studying dynamic performance of power systems. In this paper, an educational procedure for modeling, simulation, and governor tuning of hydro power plants is presented. Different existing dynamic models of hydro plant components are reviewed. The procedure for calculating the required parameters from real plant d...

In the title methyl-ene-bridged di(tetra-hydro-pyrimidinium) salt, C33H50N4 (2+)·2Br(-)·C2H5OH·H2O, the two tetra-hydro-pyrimidinium rings have envelope conformations with the central CH2 C atom as the flap. Their mean planes are inclined to one another by 73.31 (13)° and the attached benzene rings are inclined to one another by 67.39 (15)°. The methylene-C-N bond lengths in the tetra-hydro-pyr...

INTRODUCTION Regarding chronic nature of epilepsy and its side effects and to access the effective treatment procedures, herbal medicine has received remarkable interest. The aim of this study was to determine the anticonvulsant effects of hydro-alcoholic extract of Anethum graveolens seed on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) -induced seizure in male mice. METHODS Fifty-six albino male mice were divide...

Invasive alien plant species negatively impact native plant communities by out-competing species or changing abiotic and biotic conditions in their introduced range. River systems are especially vulnerable to biological invasions, because waterways can function as invasion corridors. Understanding interactions of invasive and native species and their combined effects on river dynamics is essent...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Rhus coriaria seeds on the reproductive system of nicotinamide-streptozotocin-induced type-2 diabetic mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, 56 male Naval Medical Research Institute mice were randomly divided into seven groups (n=8): control; diabetic mice; diabetic mice adminis...

There has been a surge of paleo-climatic/environmental studies of Northwestern China (NW China), a region characterized by a diverse assortment of hydro-climatic systems. Their common approach, however, focuses on "deducing regional resemblance" rather than "exploring regional variance." To date, efforts to produce a quantitative assessment of long-term intra-regional precipitation variability ...
