Transcriptional pausing has emerged as an essential mechanism of genetic regulation in both bacteria and eukaryotes, where it serves to coordinate transcription with other cellular processes and to activate or halt gene expression rapidly in response to external stimuli. Deinococcus radiodurans, a highly radioresistant and stress-resistant bacterium, encodes three members of the Gre family of t...

Arsenic leachability in water treatment adsorbents was studied using batch leaching tests, surface complexation modeling and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. Spent adsorbents were collected from five pilot-scale filters that were tested for removal of arsenic from groundwater in Southern New Jersey. The spent media included granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), granular...

The remediation of groundwater containing arsenic is a problem that has been addressed using adsorption processes with granulated materials in columns, but the itself could be improved by micro-sized adsorbents stirred systems. In this study, arsenate (As(V)) batch experiments were performed granular ferric hydroxide (GFH) and two derived materials. Reduced-size produced energetic ball milling,...

In this paper we present a prototype developed to explore the application of game design and technology to the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We describe the design process that led to the development of the prototype and the included aspects of game design and game technology, how the approach and the prototype differ from previous work in using virtual environments in the...

The mechanism of hallux valgus (HV) development has not been fully clarified, and a new evaluation method is required. We aimed to establish for calculating the rotational moment midfoot (RMM) by developing three-dimensional foot scanner, reveal features HV using this method. A smartphone was used capture images analyze regions in 592 participants. focused on feature points such as great toe-fi...

Ultrashort pulse lasers are the perfect tool for micromachining of components a wide range applications. Even hard and brittle materials can be processed with high precision in state-of-the-art machines like GL.smart from GFH. With lengths pico femtosecond range, an irradiation >1012 W/cm2 is incident on workpiece potential to generate ionizing radiation. This article deals x-ray emissions reco...

background: one of the major sources of drinking water contamination is nitrate. nitrate concentrations of more than the standard levels (45mgl -1 based on nitrate) could cause methemoglobinemia in children. the aim of this study is to investigate the nitrate adsorption on granular ferric hydroxide (gfh). also in this study, the effect of factors such as initial concentration of nitrate, contac...
