Cell-free systems that catalyze the condensation of acetylcoenzyme A to form long chain fatty acids have been prepared from chicken liver by Wakil et al. (l), from yeast by Lynen (2), and from rat liver and brain by Brady, Bradley, and Trams (3, 4). In 1957, Stumpf and Barber (5) described a mitochondrial system isolated from avocado mesocarp that incorporated (Y-acetate into long chain fatty a...

We report on numerical simulations of a vibrated granular bed including the effect of the ambient air, generating the famous Faraday heaps known from experiment. A detailed analysis of the forces shows that the heaps are formed and stabilized by the airflow through the bed while the gap between bed and vibrating bottom is growing, confirming the pressure gradient mechanism found experimentally ...

ABSTRACT We present reconstructed convergence maps, mass from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) third year (Y3) weak gravitational lensing data set. The maps are weighted projections of density field (primarily dark matter) in foreground observed galaxies. use four reconstruction methods, each is a maximum posteriori estimate with different model for prior probability map: Kaiser–Squires, null B-mod...

“Bastard feudalism” is a system of patronage-client relations that existed in England the late Middle Ages, opposed to vassal-seigneurial classical feudalism. This concept has been used historiography since 19th century, but still debatable. The relevance study due question degree “bastard distribution society. Based on sources, prosopographic database active participants Wars Roses (1455–1487)...

Racial profiling has emerged as a highly contentious practice in a range of social settings. This article examines the role of racial profiling in the property insurance industry and how such practices, grounded in negative racial stereotyping, have contributed to racial segregation and uneven metropolitan development. From a review of industry underwriting and marketing materials, court docume...
