The arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) was first described in the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 and is thought to facilitate survival on skin. To date three distinct ACME types have been characterized comprehensively in S. aureus and/or Staphylococcus epidermidis. Type I harbors the arc and opp3 operons encoding an arginine deaminase pathway and an oligopeptide...

Pada tahun 2020, Kamus Dewan Perdana (KDP) telah muncul di pentas sejarah sebagai kamus Melayu yang terbaik sejak penerbitan Wilkinson pada 1932, iaitu hampir seratus lalu. Antara aspek KDP terserlah dan harus dipuji ialah menampilkan maklumat etimologi dalam sebahagian entrinya. Dalam tulisan ini, hanya beberapa daripada 7000 dipilih data dibandingkan dengan format kandungan umum lain. Makluma...

This study analyzed differences in financial performance before and after the implementation of Financial Management Pattern Regional Public Service Agency (PPK-BLUD) at Cut Meutia Hospital, North Aceh Regency. was proxied by ratio profitability, liquidity, solvency, activity. The periods used were 2012-2015 (Before KDP-BLUD) 2016-2019 (After KDP-BLUD). secondary data form quantitative data. an...

Resenha do livro Novas Tecnologias e Dilemas Morais, de Marcelo Araujo (São Paulo: KDP Amazon, 2019)

Analysis of K transport mutants indicates the existence of four separate K uptake systems in Escherichia coli K-12. A high affinity system called Kdp has a Km of 2 muM, and Vmax at 37 degrees C of 150 mumol/g min. This system is repressed by growth in high concentrations of K. Two constitutive systems, TrkA and TrkD, have Km's of 1.5 and 0.5 mM and Vmax's of 550 and 40 at 37 and 30 degrees C, r...

The Kdp system of Escherichia coli, a transport ATPase with high affinity for potassium, is expressed when turgor pressure is low. Expression requires KdpD, a 99-kDa membrane protein, and KdpE, a 25-kDa soluble cytoplasmic protein. The sequences of KdpD and KdpE show they are members of the sensor-effector class of regulatory proteins: the C-terminal half of KdpD is homologous to sensors such a...

Polarimetric radar variables of rainfall events, like differential reflectivity ZDR, or specific differential phase KDP, are better suited for estimating rain rate R than just the reflectivity factor for horizontally polarized waves, ZH. A variety of physical and empirical approaches exist to estimate the rain rate from polarimetric radar observables. The relationships vary over a wide range wi...

The most commonly used polarimetric radar measurements in rainfall estimation are the reflectivity factor, usually at horizontal polarization (Zh), differential reflectivity (Zdr) and specific differential propagation phase (Kdp). Based on the above three measurements, a number of algorithms have been derived in the literature to estimate rainfall (see Bringi and Chandrasekar, 2001 for a summar...

In this paper, the attenuation-correction methodology presented in Part I is applied to radar measurements observed by the multiparameter radar at the X-band wavelength (MP-X) of the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), and is evaluated by comparison with scattering simulations using ground-based disdrometer data. Further, effects of attenuation on the e...
