The putative metal-dependent hydrolase gene TTE1006 from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis strain MB4T (T = type strain; Genbank accession No. AE008691) was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The 205-amino-acid gene product was purified and crystallized. The crystal used for data collection belongs to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 85.2, b = 62.1, c = 172.4 A, beta =...

A rapid and sensitive method has been developed for the determination of benzaldehyde, a toxic oxidation product of the widely used preservative and co-solvent benzyl alcohol in injectable formulations of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, diclofenac, vitamin B-complex and Voltaren injection solutions by using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction followed by gas chromatography. This met...

In this paper we investigate the effects of function composition in the form g( f (x)) = h(x) by means of a spectral analysis of h. We decompose the spectral description of h(x) into a scalar product of the spectral description of g(x) and a term that solely depends on f (x) and that is independent of g(x). We then use the method of stationary phase to derive the Nyquist limit of g( f (x)). Thi...

Drawing on the theories of limit equilibrium and finite-element strength reduction, this paper explores instability modes stability change laws slope in zones E, W, S Jiajika spodumene mine, through rock mechanics tests, field survey, numerical simulation. The results show that sliding mode is circular arc or + plane sliding. Overall, final open-pit mine generally stable under current design, s...
