Phage-peptides were prepared from L. lactis ssp. lactis ml3 and L. plantarum yit0068 bacteriophage using a ficin hydrolysis. The ml3 and yit0068 peptides were compared to L. lactis ssp. lactis c2 bacteriophage peptides to determine growth inhibition of C2 host and inhibition of both ml3 and c2 bacteriophage. M17 with .011 mM CaCl2 media with and without phage peptides (2 or 2.5%) were heat trea...

SAS-065 was originally mandated by NATO-RTO-SAS1 to develop a generic conceptual model for assessing the evolving “maturity” of NATO’s command and control system.2 The mandate’s context was NATO’s force transformation initiative to improve the Network Enabled Capability (NEC) of NATO’s forces with gradual improvement from the capacity for de-conflicted operations, as prevailed during the Cold W...

The flavonoid pigment pathway in plants has been used as a model system for studying gene regulatory mechanisms. C2-Idf is a stable dominant mutation of the chalcone synthase gene, c2, which encodes the first dedicated enzyme in this biosynthetic pathway of maize. Homozygous C2-Idf plants show no pigmentation. This allele also inhibits expression of functional C2 alleles in heterozygotes, produ...

For the first time we search for $\eta_{c2}(1D)$ in $e^+e^-\to\gamma\eta_{c2}(1D)$ at $\sqrt{s}$ = 10.52, 10.58, and 10.867 GeV with data samples of 89.5 fb$^{-1}$, 711 121.4 respectively, accumulated Belle detector KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. No significant signal is observed mass range between 3.8 3.88 GeV/$c^2$. The upper limit 90\% confidence level on product Born cro...

Information age organizations must effectively utilize new communications capabilities to gain an advantage over their competition. Command and Control (C2) research has demonstrated the potential for decentralization of C2 to improve mission performance in networked battlefields. However, it is unlikely that all future missions will be best executed with a decentralized C2 architecture. Theref...
