The pigment composition of the haptophyte Chrysochromulina polylepis (Strain CCMP 286) was analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using pyridine-containing mobile phases and polymeric C18, or monomeric C8 columns. The polar chlorophyll (chl) c pigment composition included chl c2 and chl c3 as major fractions, and divinyl protochlorophyllide a (DV pchlide or MgDVP) as a minor ...

This study was designed to examine the chemical composition and in-vitro antioxidant activity of the essential oil and methanolic extract of Teucrium orientale subsp. taylori. The GC and GC–MS analysis of the essential oil resulted in determination of 40 components representing 96.4% of the oil. The major constituents of the oil were linalool (28.6%), caryophyllene oxide (15.6%), 1,8-cineol (4....

Beside Ziegler-Natta and Phillips catalysts the development of methylaluminoxane (MAO) as cocatalyst in combination with metallocenes or other transition metal complexes for the polymerization of olefins has widely increased the possibilities in controlling the polymer composition, polymer structure, tacticity and special properties with high precision. These catalysts allow the synthesis of is...

Aims: To examine the properties of hydrazide compounds shown to inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To identify properties that affect efficiency of bacterial inhibition. Study Design: Utilizing data from previous studies of compounds that inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis, then statistical and pattern recognition methods are applied to identify interrelationships. Place and Duration of Study:...

The linkage between El Ni~ no–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) through the stratospheric pathway is examined using a global coupled climate model [GFDL Climate Model version 3 (CM3)], with increased vertical resolution and extent in the stratosphere as compared to an earlier model [GFDL Climate Model version 2 (CM2)]. It is demonstrated that the relationship betw...

Arabidopsis inflorescence stems develop a vascular pattern similar to that found in most dicots. The arrangement of vascular tissues within the bundle is collateral, and vascular bundles in the stele are arranged in a ring. Although auxin has been shown to be an inducer of vascular differentiation, little is known about the molecular mechanisms controlling vascular pattern formation. By screeni...

In contrast to the network security that relies on upper-layer encryption for confidentiality and authenticity of communications, physical layer (PLS) exploits uniqueness randomness channel encrypt information enhance system. this paper, we study PLS a polar-coded wireless communication To be more specific, leverage unique properties in polar code construction propose quality indicator (CQI)-ba...
