Beijing’s Sub-Administrative Center (BSAC) is located in the South-eastern Beijing Plain, which exhibits severe subsidence. The rapid urban expansion recent years has aggravated land subsidence and threatens safe operation of Beijing. First, this study applied persistent scatterer-interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PS-InSAR) to extract BSAC time series data. Second, combined with index-b...

The measured optical transition energies Eii of single-wall carbon nanotubes are compared with bright exciton energy calculations. The Eii differences between experiment and theory are minimized by considering a diameter-dependent dielectric constant kappa, which comprises the screening from the tube and from the environment. Different kappa dependencies are obtained for (E11(S), E22(S), E11(M)...

Technology, describe how taking an integrated approach to energy performance early in the design phase can deliver significant improvements in refinery energy efficiency. E nergy is the second single largest component of variable refinery operating expense, representing some 40-50% of total operating costs, excluding the cost of purchasing raw crude. Fuel and power consumption is also directly ...

The widespread use of the XML format for document representation and message exchange has influenced techniques for data integration in last years. A development of various XML languages, methods and tools gave rise to so called XML technology. Enterprise Information Integration (EII) requires an accurate, precise and complete understanding of the disparate data sources, the needs of the inform...

Introduction The City of Austin’s Watershed Protection Department strives to protect the water quality in Austin area watersheds. Austin creeks have been monitored for years through the Environmental The Austin Lake Index (ALI) was designed to provide a yearly assessment of the environmental integrity of Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Long. Sub-indices used to compute the ALI include rep...

Bst EII identifies, a bi-allelic polymorphism in the human LDL receptor gene (l). The 33kb allelc cannot readily be distinguished from the 24kb fragment in the heterozygote using a 0.6 agarose gel. Lower percentage gels often cause handling problems. We suggest co-digestion of DNA with non-polymorphic enzymes such as Eco RI (or Bam HI). Figure 1 shows an autoradiograph of a Southern blot where ...

Introducción: la anemia es complicación más frecuente en enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII). El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar prevalencia, asociaciones y tratamiento EII nuestro medio.
 Materiales métodos: se analizaron forma retrospectiva datos pacientes adultos con del Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe Medellín, Colombia, que consultaron desde 2001 hasta febrero 2019. Se emplear...

The ability of Streptococcus mutans to catabolize cellobiose, a beta-linked glucoside generated during the hydrolysis of cellulose, is shown to be regulated by a transcriptional regulator, CelR, which is encoded by an operon with a phospho-beta-glucosidase (CelA) and a cellobiose-specific sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) permease (EII(Cel)). The roles of CelR, EII(Cel) components, and cert...

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy, but current therapies are far from effective for all patients. A better understanding of the pathological mechanism of OS may help to achieve new treatments for this tumor. Hence, the objective of this study was to investigate ego modules and pathways in OS utilizing EgoNet algorithm and pathway-related analysis, and reveal pathologi...
