This report describes a draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum CRL1506, a probiotic strain with immunomodulatory properties isolated from goat milk. The reads generated by a whole-genome shotgun (WGS) strategy on an Illumina MiSeq sequencer were assembled into contigs with a total size of 3,228,096 bp. The draft genome sequence of L. plantarum CRL1506 will be useful for further studie...

The following presents a review of power laws in financial economics. It is a chapter from a preliminary draft of a very long review article called “Beyond equilibrium and efficiency”. While some of the discussion is specific to economics, most of it applies to power laws in general – the nouns may change, but the underlying questions are similar in many fields. This draft is still highly preli...

Abstract In this paper the site categorization criteria and corresponding amplification factors proposed in 2021 draft of Part 1 Eurocode 8 (2021-draft, CEN/TC250/SC8 Working Draft N1017) are first introduced compared with current version 8, as well from recent empirical ground motion prediction equations. Afterwards, these values checked by two approaches. First, a wide dataset strong records ...

In this paper the effect of site conditions, which are Altitude, Temperature and Relative Humidity and also Heat Dissipation Capacity are investigated on the optimized design of natural draft dry cooling towers with specific kind of heat exchangers, known as Forgo T60 type. A genetic algorithm program has been developed for optimized design of these cooling towers. Objective function includes b...

This document describes generic requirements for Pseudo-Wire Emulation Edge to Edge (PWE3). It provides guidelines for other working group documents that will define mechanisms for providing pseudo-wire emulation of specific services such as Ethernet, ATM, Frame Relay, TDM, and MPLS. It should be noted that the PWE3 Working Group (PWE3 WG) standardizes mechanisms that can be used to provide PWE...

The European Food Safety Authority has prepared a draft for a harmonised strategy for the risk assessment of genotoxic and carcinogenic substances and presented this draft for discussion. The concept examines the exposure of the consumer to a specific substance and compares this with the carcinogenic effect of a defined dose in an animal experiment. Genotoxic and carcinogenic compounds are thus...

DTU has focused on Part 2 that gives the background for the new EFSA temporary TDI of 4 μg/kg bw/day. In addition, the overall conclusion with regards to risk assessment has been considered. DTU has not made a specific evaluation of the EFSA exposure assessment (i.e. Part 1). DTU has in September 2013 evaluated the EFSA draft exposure assessment and concluded the draft was of high quality and b...

Along with the rapid advances of the nextgen sequencing technologies, more and more species are added to the list of organisms whose whole genomes are sequenced. However, the assembled draft genome of many organisms consists of numerous small contigs, due to the short length of the reads generated by nextgen sequencing platforms. In order to improve the assembly and bring the genome contigs tog...
