The right tool can do the trick: A novel thermostable benzaldehyde lyase from Rhodococcus erythropolis was identified using computer-assisted prediction Tome, and two variants with altered active sites were constructed based on homology models. All new enzyme showed significantly increased thermostability compared only experimentally confirmed Pseudomonas fluorescens to date. different substrat...

Pri poučevanju tujih jezikov stroke (TJS) na visokošolski ravni imajo pomembno mesto avtentična besedila in opravila, ki predstavljajo najpogosteje obravnavana tipa avtentičnosti. Avtentična študentom omogočajo stik z jezikom opravili, jih bodo potrebovali med študijem in/ali poklicni poti. Na avtentičnost osredinjeni pristop (Mishan 2005) združuje gradiva opravilih temelječe učenje, mora odraž...

Human beings have used plants for the treatment of diverse ailments for thousands of years (Sofowara, 1982; Hill, 1989). According to the World Health Organization, most populations still rely on traditional medicines for their psychological and physical health requirements (Rabe and Van Stoden, 2000), since they cannot afford the products of Western pharmaceutical industries together with thei...

We develop an exact formalism for performing first-principles calculations for insulators at fixed electric polarization. As shown by Sai, Rabe, and Vanderbilt (SRV) [Phys. Rev. B 66, 104108 (2002)], who designed an approximate method to tackle the same problem, such an approach allows one to map out the energy landscape as a function of polarization, providing a powerful tool for the theoretic...

mone-sensitive tumors arising from smooth muscles and occurring in 20 to 40% of women of reproductive age (1, 2). This means that they are the most common benign uterine tumors in women of reproductive age. The most common concomitant symptoms are menorrhagia and iron deficiency anaemia, which in some cases cannot be treated adequately by iron substitution (3-5). Heavy menstrual bleeding means ...
