Alpha-aminoisobutyric acid-directed biosynthesis in two Trichoderma strains has been shown to lead to the simplification of the natural peptaibol microheterogeneous mixtures and to the production of new analogues. Hence, two new peptides originating from T. harzianum, trichorzin PA(U) 4 and harzianin PCU 4, were isolated by HPLC. Their sequences were determined by positive liquid secondary-ion ...

The title compound, poly[(N,N-di-methyl-acetamide-κO)(μ4-5-methyl-isophthalato-κ(5) O,O':O',O'':O'')manganese(II)], [Mn(C9H6O4)(C3H7NO)] n , was obtained from a mixture containing MnCl2·4H2O and 5-methyl-isophthalic acid in N,N-di-methyl-acetamide solution. The Mn(2+) ion is coordinated by five O atoms from four bridging 5-methyl-isophthalate ligands and one O atom from one N,N-di-methyl-acetam...

Pressure ulcers (PU) may increase the incidence of hospital complications, and one should prevent this damage. The Braden Scale stands out as a tool to assess the risk of PU. The study aimed to identify changes in the score of the Braden subscales are associated with the risk of developing PCU. Logistic regression was used in a retrospective cohort study conducted in Hospital de Clínicas de Por...

In order to alleviate the influence of low-speed vehicles on tunnel safety, this paper discusses setting method variable lane boundaries in urban tunnels. VISSIM simulation software is used analyze traffic flow when changes are allowed and prohibited. The results show that average speed tunnels greatest, can be significantly alleviated dividing line. When 40 km/h set, delay time reduced by 30–5...

The smart grid is the next generation bidirectional modern grid. Energy users’ are keen on reducing their bill and energy suppliers are also keen on reducing their industrial cost. Our demand response model would benefit them both. We have tested our model with the UK based traditional price value using a real-time basis. Energy users significantly reduced their bill and energy suppliers reduce...

The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the performance of a low pressure PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell stack to step load changes, which are characteristic of standalone fuel cell system applications. The goal is a better understanding of the electrical behavior of the FC (fuel cell), as a result of the electrochemical processes, via the cell’s voltage characteristic during trans...

In a foundational study published in this issue of Annals of Neurology, Fernández-Espejo et al1 report that diagnostic categories of disorders of consciousness can be stratified by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of connections among specific components of the defaultmode network (DMN).2 The DMN includes the corticocortical and thalamocortical connections of the medial prefrontal, posterior medi...

A novel three-dimensional two-fold interpenetrated bi-porous metal-organic framework IPM-325 (IPM: IISER Pune Materials) having pcu topology was synthesized at room temperature. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) study revealed that the compound crystallizes in monoclinic lattice with molecular formula {[Zn(L)2 (SiF6)] (CH2Cl2) xG}n where G = Guests). All metal centers were found to have...

fabrication of a cysteamine (ca) self-assembled monolayer (sam) modified gold electrode insitufunctionalized with l-lysine (lys) is presented and described. the fabricated electrode was used forhighly selective and sensitive accumulation and the determination of copper ions (cu2+) in a nanomolarconcentration. techniques like cyclic voltammetry (cv) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ei...

A hydrothermal reaction of a mixture of cobalt salt, 5-nitro isophthalic acid and triazole (compound I), 3-aminotriazole (3-AT) (compound II) and 3,5-diaminotriazole (compound III) at 220 °C for a day resulted in the isolation of three different, but related, compounds containing cobalt clusters. The three-dimensional compounds have Co(5) (compound-I) and Co(4) (compound-II and compound-III) cl...
