Mo K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to probe as-isolated structures of the MOSC family proteins pmARC-1 and HMCS-CT. The Mo K-edge near-edge spectrum of HMCS-CT is shifted ~2.5 eV to lower energy compared to the pmARC-1 spectrum, which indicates that as-isolated HMCS-CT is in a more reduced state than pmARC-1. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis indicates signifi...

The aim of this systematic review was to review the quality of the translation and the measurement properties from questionnaires that assess injuries of the knee. We included questionnaires that were developed in foreign language and have been translated and validated into Portuguese. The databases used were CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, LILACS, PUBMED and SCIELO and the final search resulted in a tota...

The main result of [Kos] shows that a sequence of complexes associated with the MacDonald identities gives a sequence of universal characters which extends and generalises some representations of the exceptional series given in [Del96]. This proves the conjectures in [MP03]. In this paper we use a twisted version of this definition to define a sequence of complexes for the first row of the Freu...

[1] Most assessments of the direct climate forcing (DCF) of anthropogenic aerosols are from numerical simulations. However, recent advances in remote sensing techniques allow the separation of fine mode aerosols (anthropogenic aerosol is mostly fine aerosol) from coarse mode aerosols (largely marine and dust, which are mostly natural) from satellite data such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging ...

In 1987, Bruce McCormick led an extensive study of the benefi ts of combining computer graphics and computational-science methods. This culminated in the US National Science Foundation panel report “Visualization in Scientifi c Computing,” in which I was (serendipitously) a participant. Many people identify this event as the birth of scientifi c visualization as a distinct discipline. It was so...

SEW•AL studies have reported selection against conspicuous prey. Dice (1947) reported differential selection against conspicuous phenotypes of mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) and Kaufman (1974a) showed that Barn Owls (Tyto alba) and Screech Owls (Otus asio) selected against conspicuous phenotypes of old field mice (Peromyscus polionotus). Metzgar (1967) reported that Screech Owls preferred transi...

Female Amblyomma hebraeum ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) increase their weight ∼10-fold during a 'slow phase of engorgement' (7-9 days), and a further 10-fold during the 'rapid phase' (12-24h). During the rapid phase, the cuticle thins by half, with a plastic (permanent) deformation of greater than 40% in two orthogonal directions. A stress of 2.5 MPa or higher is required to achieve this degree of de...

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a widespread global pathogen, of which the strain KOS is one of the most extensively studied. Previous sequence studies revealed that KOS does not cluster with other strains of North American geographic origin, but instead clustered with Asian strains. We sequenced a historical isolate of the original KOS strain, called KOS63, along with a separately isolated s...

The goal of this report is to provide a model accurately predicting whether a worker’s compensation policy will suffer a large loss. Several models were created using statistical analysis and the final logistic regression model predicting client policies at risk for large losses is provided. This model is a two-factor logistic regression model accurately predicted the large loss outputs of 87.5...
