Compulsive buying behavior (CBB) has been recognized as a prevalent mental health disorder, yet its categorization into classification systems remains unsettled. The objective of this study was to assess the sociodemographic and clinic variables related to the CBB phenotype compared to other behavioral addictions. Three thousand three hundred and twenty four treatment-seeking patients were clas...

Resistance to common bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli, in Phaseolus vulgaris is conditioned by several loci on different chromosomes. Previous studies with OAC-Rex, a CBB-resistant, white bean variety of Mesoamerican origin, identified two resistance loci associated with the molecular markers Pv-CTT001 and SU91, on chromosome 4 and 8, respectively. Resistance to C...

The magnesium isotopic composition of Calcium-, Aluminium-rich Inclusions (CAIs) and chondrules from the CBb chondrites HH237 and QUE94411 was measured using MC-ICPMS coupled with a laser ablation system. CAIs from CBb chondrites exhibit limited mass-dependent fractionation (δ Mg′ (DSM3) b1.3‰) and formed with undetectable Al (Al/Al b4.6×10). Petrographic observations suggest that CBb CAIs are ...

A pedestrian bridge is a structure linking or bike path over around major roadway, railway, waterway. The truss (TRB) and the with castellated beam (CBB) are common models of bridge. Past studies have revealed structural behavior TRB CBB, but performances both bridges not yet been comparatively confirmed. This study examined CBB to obtain better model due applied loading. research was started b...

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) catalyzes the first step of CO(2) fixation in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle. Besides its function in fixing CO(2) to support photoautotrophic growth, the CBB cycle is also important under photoheterotrophic growth conditions in purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacteria. It has been assumed that the poor photoheterotrophic growth o...

The binding of coomassie brilliant blue G (CBB) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated under simulative physiological conditions employing different optical spectroscopic techniques viz., fluorescence emission, UVâvisible absorption and FTIR. Fluorescence quenching data obtained at different temperatures suggested the presence of dynamic type of quenching mechanism. The binding constant...

The LysR-type transcriptional regulator CbbR controls the expression of the cbb and gap-pgk operons in Xanthobacter flavus, which encode the majority of the enzymes of the Calvin cycle required for autotrophic CO2 fixation. The cbb operon promoter of this chemoautotrophic bacterium contains three potential CbbR binding sites, two of which partially overlap. Site-directed mutagenesis and subsequ...

The coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is the primary arthropod pest of coffee plantations worldwide. Since its detection in Hawaii (September 2010), coffee growers are facing financial losses due to reduced quality of coffee yields. Several control strategies that include cultural practices, biological control agents (parasitoids), che...

Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli reduces common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield and quality worldwide. Genetic resistance provides effective disease control; however, a high level of resistance is difficult to attain and does not exist in pinto bean, the most important dry bean market class in North America. Our objective was to determine if a backc...

Various mutant strains were used to examine the regulation and metabolic control of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) reductive pentose phosphate pathway in Rhodobacter capsulatus. Previously, a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO)-deficient strain (strain SBI/II) was found to show enhanced levels of cbb(I) and cbb(II) promoter activities during photoheterotrophic growth in t...
