Abstract Acacia holosericea seedlings were planted in 1-l pots filled with a soil collected from an Australian Acacia plantation in Southern Senegal. After 6 months of culture, mycorrhizosphere soil, roots, galls induced by root-knot nematodes and Rhizobium nodules were sampled from each pot. The diversity of this bacterial group was characterized by siderotyping (pyoverdine IsoElectric Focusin...

BACKGROUND Alpha 1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency (A1ATD) is potentially associated with a high degree of liver and/or lung disease. Apart from the most frequent deficiency alleles, Pi S and Pi Z, some A1AT alleles of clinical significance may be easily misdiagnosed. This is typically the case of the Pi Mmalton variant which shares the same 'gain-of-function' liver toxicity than Pi Z and the sam...

Three aspartate aminotransferase isoenzymes were identified from extracts of carrot (Daucus carota L.) cell suspension cultures. These isoenzymes were separated by DEAE chromatography and were analyzed on native gradient polyacrylamide gels. The relative molecular weights of the isoenzymes were 111,000 +/- 5000, 105,000 +/- 5000, and 94,000 +/- 4000 daltons; they were designated forms I, II, an...

A two-dimensional microfluidic system is presented for intact protein separations combining isoelectric focusing (IEF) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) employing in situ photopolymerized polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels. The PAAm gels are used for multiple functions. In addition to serving as a highly-resolving separation medium for gel electrophoresis, discr...

Phycobilisomes were prepared from a marine red macroalga Polysiphonia urceolata (P. urceolata) by sucrose step-gradient ultracentrifugation. From the prepared phycobilisomes, an R-phycocyanin was isolated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and then purified by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) performed in neutral buffe...

This paper presents an information retrieval model on XML documents based on tree matching. Queries and documents are represented by extended trees. An extended tree is built starting from the original tree, with additional weighted virtual links between each node and its indirect descendants allowing to directly reach each descendant. Therefore only one level separates between each node and it...

Abstract Conformation analysis of dehydroascorbic acid and its bicyclic form was performed using the density functional theory. For energetically preferred conformations, ionization potentials (IP) bond dissociation enthalpies (BDE) were calculated B3LYP 6-311++G** basis set. The effects aqueous solution estimated solvation model based on (SMD) polarizable continuum (IEF-PCM). obtained results ...

Abstract The effectiveness of entrepreneurial activities is not only determined by the quality entrepreneurs but also ecosystem entrepreneurship. (EE) that nurtures low-quality “moppets” to highly impactful “gazelles” being widely debated and on-demand in literature. This study, therefore, aimed advance discussion make a comparative analysis ecosystem, which has been given little attention, BRI...

This paper proposes generalized deep reinforcement learning with multivariate state space, discrete rewards, and adaptive synchronization for trading any stock held in the S&P 500. Specifically, proposed model observes daily historical data of a 500 multiple market-indicating securities (SPY, IEF, EUR=X, GSG), selects action, reward that is based on correctness selected action independent v...

The impulse noise often damages the human dental X-Ray images, leading to improper diagnosis. Hence, removal in images is essential for a better subjective evaluation of teeth. existing denoising methods suffer from less restoration performance and capacity handle massive levels. This method suggests novel scheme called "Noise using Partition supported Median, Interpolation, Discrete Wavelet Tr...
