We report the first complete sequences of the protein osteocalcin from small amounts (20 mg) of two bison bone (Bison priscus) dated to older than 55.6 ka and older than 58.9 ka. Osteocalcin was purified using new gravity columns (never exposed to protein) followed by microbore reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Sequencing of osteocalcin employed two methods of matrix-assist...

No. snoo1133 Beamline(s): X8C, X12B Introduction: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients are prone to secondary infections in the lungs. One of the infectious organisms is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In the CF lung this organism transforms into a mucoidy state that overproduces its natural alginate coating a polysaccharide. In this state P. aeruginosa is resistant to antibiotics and the innate immune respon...

In the case of missing data, traffic forecasting becomes challenging. Many existing studies on flow with data often overlook relationship between imputation and external factors. To address this gap, study proposes two hybrid models that incorporate multiple factors for predicting in scenarios involving loss. Temperature, rainfall intensity whether it is a weekday will be introduced as forecast...

Information of spatial and energy distribution the electronic state described from localized molecular orbitals is important to understand optical properties materials. In this study, photoemission spectra a highly-oriented-coronene monolayer on Au(111) were measured by photoelectron momentum microscope (PMM) installed at soft X-ray beamline BL6U UVSOR-III synchrotron. Whole valence band mappin...

this article describes a knowledge management (km) success model that is derived from observations generated through an empirical study of km in an iranian consultant company and km success factors in the literature which is shown that company has a weak situation in each factor. so company needs a measurement model in order to assess knowledge management implementation processes in each step t...

in a recent paper in this journal, yang et al. [feng yang, dexiang wu,liang liang, gongbing bi & desheng dash wu (2009), supply chaindea:production possibility set and performance evaluation model] definedtwo types of supply chain production possibility set which were proved to beequivalent to each other. they also proposed a new model for evaluatingsupply chains. there are, however, some short...

MOTIVATION A variety of algorithms have been developed to predict transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) within the genome by exploiting the evolutionary information implicit in multiple alignments of the genomes of related species. One such approach uses an extension of the standard position-specific motif model that incorporates phylogenetic information via a phylogenetic tree and a model...

Airline industry is one of the main infrastructures for sustainable development of a country. The quality of the reverse support service will be effective in increasing the safety and health of the structures, reducing the impact of disasters and reducing costs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of an organization based on the main factors of reverse supply chain with the ser...

among the most important sources of competitive advantage, is creating and developing strategic alignment competency. strategic alignment, literally, is an abstract and qualitative concept. and a qualitative concept while not been quantified and operationalized, does not worth paying attention practically. this article basing on a general formula and taking systems dynamics approach, suggests a...
