The processes of melt formation were studied by methods optical and electron scanning microscopy. These occur during induction brazing a hard alloy to steel holder contact interaction low-melting (copper-zinc system alloy) refractory (iron-nickel) components the solders. It is shown that effect thermal magnetic-dynamic high-frequency electromagnetic field on composite solder how high-strength j...

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the synthesis of phospholipids is coordinately regulated by mechanisms that control the homeostasis of the essential mineral zinc (Carman, G.M., and Han, G. S. (2007) Regulation of phospholipid synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by zinc depletion. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1771, 322-330; Eide, D. J. (2009) Homeostatic and adaptive responses to zinc deficie...

The yeast ZRT1 zinc transporter is regulated by zinc at both transcriptional and post-translational levels. At the post-translational level, zinc inactivates ZRT1 by inducing the removal of the protein from the plasma membrane by endocytosis. The zinc transporter is subsequently degraded in the vacuole. This regulatory system allows for the rapid shut off of zinc uptake activity in cells expose...

Selenium (Se) and many of its compounds are among the most toxic micronutrients. Therefore, determining the optimal level of selenium in the diet of fish is one of the main concerns of researchers. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of Sel-Plex® (Selenium-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast) on blood biochemical parameters in juvenile Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baer...

A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 was examined which has growth medium-dependent lysyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) ligase activity. In minimal medium or 0.5% yeast extract, the activity of the enzyme in the mutant strain was 5 to 10% of wild type. However, when the mutant was grown in a highly enriched medium, such as AC broth (Difco), the activity of the mutant ligase increased 10- to 20-...

Bacteria can respond to adverse environments by increasing their genomic variability and subsequently facilitating adaptive evolution. To demonstrate this, the contribution of Insertion Sequence (IS) elements to the genetic adaptation of Cupriavidus metallidurans AE126 to toxic zinc concentrations was determined. This derivative of type strain CH34, devoid of its main zinc resistance determinan...

introduction: this case report describes apexogenesis treatment of three molar teeth of an 8-year-old boy using three different pulpotomy agents. methods: pulpotomy was performed on decayed immature molar teeth with established irreversible pulpitis and the remaining pulp was capped with either zinc oxide eugenol, proroot mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. teet...
