Propionibacterium arabinosum is known to produce an adeninylcobamide when grown in a medium containing yeast extract or corn steep-liquor (I, 2). Such a medium, although not intentionally fortified with a heterocyclic base, undoubtedly contains substantial amounts of adenine or its derivatives. Addition of an appropriate benzimidazole, purine, or other heterocyclic base to the medium, or to a s...

Evolving Takagi-Sugeno (eTS) fuzzy models are used to build a computational model for the WasteWater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in a paper mill. The fuzzy rule base is constructed on-line from data using a recursive fuzzy clustering algorithm that develops the model structure and parameters. In order to avoid some redundancy in the fuzzy rule base mechanisms for merging membership functions and sim...

BACKGROUND Diarrhea is common in patients with Crohn's disease and may be accompanied by acid base disorders, most commonly metabolic acidosis due to intestinal loss of bicarbonate. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we present a case of severe metabolic alkalosis in a young patient suffering from M. Crohn. The patient had undergone multiple resections of the intestine and suffered from chronic kidney d...

This chapter applies the previously discussed kinematic coupling design, repeatability, and interchangeability theory to development of a new factory interface for base mounting of industrial robots, used primarily in automotive body assembly welding, sealing, and material handling. Because of the extreme forces and torques at the manipulator base during robot operation and the critical nature ...

The power efficient on data collection is to increase the energy efficiency condition even when there is problem in the failure of the main parent node. The on data collection is the concept, the power efficient data transfer in a network of nodes. The main concept that is used here is data gathering which is a method where the data from the child nodes are collected by the parent node first an...

The atom-specific modification has been extensively applied in RNA function and structure investigations, catalysis analysis, mechanism studies, as well as therapeutics discoveries. Selenium-modified uridine (U-RNA) is one of the naturally occurring modifications that was discovered in bacterial tRNAs (U-RNA) at the wobble position of the anticodon loop. Its exact role in the RNA-RNA interactio...

in this paper, the concept of {sl local base with  stratifiedstructure} in $i$-topological vector spaces is introduced. weprove that every $i$-topological vector space has a balanced localbase with stratified structure. furthermore, a newcharacterization of $i$-topological vector spaces by means of thelocal base with stratified structure is given.

BACKGROUND Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) is a promising new rapid diagnostic technology for tuberculosis (TB) that has characteristics that suggest large-scale roll-out. However, because the test is expensive, there are concerns among TB program managers and policy makers regarding its affordability for low- and middle-income settings. METHODS AND FINDINGS We estimate the impact of the introduction o...

We investigated acid-base permeability properties of electrically resistive monolayers of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) grown in primary culture. AEC monolayers were grown on tissue culture-treated polycarbonate filters. Filters were mounted in a partitioned cuvette containing two fluid compartments (apical and basolateral) separated by the adherent monolayer, cells were loaded with the pH-se...
