We demonstrate the formation of charged molecular packets and their transport within optically created electrical force-field traps in a pH-buffered electrolyte. We call this process photoelectrophoretic localization and transport (PELT). The electrolyte is in contact with a photoconductive semiconductor electrode and a counterelectrode that are connected through an external circuit. A light be...

Aerobic capacity and disease activity in children, adolescents and young adults with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The Editors-in-Chief would like to alert readers that due to an error during the publication process this article [1] was published twice. The original article can be found in this journal [2].

To classify and statistically compare architecture data from biand trifurcating tree-like structures across different sizes the Tree Symmetry Index as the mean of an asymmetry measure at all the branching points in the centrifugal hierarchy as developed by Van Pelt et al. (1992) and Van Pelt (1997) or the branching points mean in centrifugal hierarchy developed by Sismilich (2001) and Sismilich...

The work describes the production of alkaline protease in a lab scale fermentor from Bacillus subtilis IH-72. The production of alkaline protease was enhanced by optimization of cultural conditions in a stirred fermentor. The alkaline protease so produced was applied to the goat skin for the removal of hair. The skin pieces were treated in three different ways; singly with the enzyme, in combin...

To evaluate terminal-sire breeds, harvest BW, prefabrication carcass measurements, and organ weights were evaluated over 3 yr for 518 crossbred wether lambs (ovis aries). Lambs were produced by single-sire matings of 22 Columbia, 22 USMARC-Composite (Composite), 21 Suffolk, and 17 Texel rams to adult Rambouillet ewes. Lambs were raised to weaning under an extensive western rangeland production ...
