An oviduct-specific, estrus-associated glycoprotein (EAP) of 85-95 kDa is detectable in both conditioned medium (CM) from oviductal explants and cannula-derived oviductal fluid (ODF). The objectives of this study were to purify EAP from both ODF and CM, to characterize the glycosylation of EAP, and to localize binding of EAP on sperm. EAP was purified from ODF by ammonium sulfate precipitation ...

Teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses is highly demanding for EAP teachers as they are faced with diverse pedagogical and administrative challenges in such courses. This study addressed the level of burnout among EAP teachers and variations in relation to their demographic and organizational characteristics. To this aim, a demographic questionnaire along with the Persian version ...

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides a standard mechanism for support of various authentication methods. This document defines the Command-Codes and AVPs necessary for a Diameter Hiller & Zorn [Page 1] INTERNET-DRAFT Diameter EAP Application June 2002 node to support the PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). 1. Conventions used in this document The key words "MUST", "MU...

BACKGROUND The education and activation program (EAP) is a newly developed intervention to prevent the development of chronic shoulder complaints (SCs). Trained general practitioners (GPs) administer the EAP. The EAP addresses inadequate cognitions and maladaptive behavior related to the SCs. The effect of the EAP is evaluated in a randomized clinical trial. The aim of the present study is to u...

This paper outlines the problems in currently available authentication methods, such as EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST, and describes the desirable properties of a standard outer method. We examine the interaction between inner and outer methods and the types of issues that presently exist. We propose a new authentication method, EAP-PSK [PSK] with tunneling support (EAP-TLS-PSK), as an EAP pr...

This document specifies EAP-IKEv2, an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method that is based on the Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) protocol. EAP-IKEv2 provides mutual authentication and session key establishment between an EAP peer and an EAP server. It supports authentication techniques that are based on passwords, high-entropy shared keys, and public key certificates. EAP-IKEv2 further ...

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a generic framework supporting multiple types of authentication methods. In systems where EAP is used for authentication, it is desirable to not repeat the entire EAP exchange with another authenticator. This document specifies extensions to EAP and the EAP keying hierarchy to support an EAP method-independent protocol for efficient re-authenticat...

An alkaline protease gene (Eap) was isolated for the first time from a marine fungus, Engyodontium album. Eap consists of an open reading frame of 1,161 bp encoding a prepropeptide consisting of 387 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 40.923 kDa. Homology comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of Eap with other known proteins indicated that Eap encode an extracellular proteas...
