A cDNA encoding spinach chloroplastic ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (RPI) was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and a purification scheme for the recombinant enzyme was developed. The purified recombinant RPI is a homodimer of 25-kDa subunits and shows kinetic properties similar to those of the homodimeric enzyme isolated from spinach leaves (A. C. Rutner, 1970, Biochemistry 9, 178-1...

[1] The Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) aboard the IMAGE spacecraft probes plasma at both far and near ranges by means of radio sounding. The RPI plasmagrams, similar in their concept to the ground-based and topside ionograms, contain not only a variety of signatures pertaining to the remote plasma structures and boundaries, but also a suite of the local plasma resonances stimulated by the RPI radio ...

This paper discusses the JTAG (Join Test Action Group) standard and its use to obtain debug information from circuits and chips. This standard describes a protocol that gives the access to a very low-level outputs from the chips where this technology is enabled. The main described scenario is using this protocol on a Raspberry Pi (RPi) board. In particular, it comes with an ARM (Acorn RISC Mach...

BACKGROUND With the trend toward laboratory and workstation consolidation, more studies are necessary to evaluate instrumentation, solutions for coping with workflow and test diversity, and opportunities for increasing the overall efficiency of laboratory testing. We assessed the processing capacity and efficiency of new-generation immunoassay analyzers by determining productivity parameters of...

BACKGROUND National Health Service stop smoking services (NHS SSS) in the UK offer cost- effective smoking cessation services. Despite high abstinence rates after acute cessation treatment, the majority of clients have relapsed by one year. Several interventions have been identified, from trial data, as effective in preventing relapse to smoking. This study investigated uptake, feasibility and ...

by Sharon Cole The Albany Slate men's soccer team cruised to an easy 4-1 victory over RPI Wednesday afternoon. The RPI team, winlcss so far this season, was no match for the Danes, who totally controlled ih» match. Albany coach Bill Schieffelin said, "We looked good today, which we-haven't done too often this season." The Danes, usually looking forward to the playoffs this time each year, have ...

 Overall, taking account of both coverage and formula effect differences and within the limitations of how price data is collected within the UK, the Retail Prices Index (RPI) is as good a consumer price index as one can get for uprating purposes. The systemic difference between the RPI and the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), currently (2015) running at 1.0 percentage points per annum, results pr...

Abstract Collaborative teacher learning is thought to improve teaching practice and student outcomes. Key such Reflective Professional Inquiry (RPI); seen as vital if practitioners are engage effectively with new knowledge ideas. Yet RPI under-conceptualised little known about how facilitate effective RPI. With this study we in a meta-narrative literature review, covering range of disciplines (...

In cooperative communication in wireless networks, selection of best relay node is an important task. And provide secure transmission is also a challenging work. Our proposed protocol provides a new approach for relay selection and secure transmission in cooperative network for wireless network. Secure and efficient relays are selected on the basis of RPI table that maintain RPI points which is...
