Previous results indicate extensive similarity of the active site regions of thrombin (EC 3.4.21.5) and Thrombin Quick, a congenital dysthrombin. A binding defect of Thrombin Quick toward fibrinogen is indicated by an increased KI when fibrinogen is present as a competitive inhibitor in the hydrolysis of tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide. In the present study, Thrombin Quick I is shown to have a...

Many avian behavior patterns, such as breeding, migration and territoriality, are correlated with changes in hormone levels. Elevated levels of corticosterone, an adrenal steroid hormone, are associated with increased foraging and increased activity levels in birds. Young birds about to take their first flight may benefit from elevated plasma corticosterone levels that facilitate locomotor acti...

We have considered the Huxley-Simmons manoeuvre. On the assumption that the quick release is an elastic process and on the basis of the isometric tension and of the stiffness of the muscle fibre we calculated that the spontaneous release of the fibre requires approximately 43 micros, which is much faster than the observed release, approximately 180 micros. We concluded that the observed quick r...

Nowadays laser is extensively used in various industrial, communicative, medical, and other fields. Using laser in medicine has enabled physicians to perform the most accurate and finest operations within few minutes. Non-observance of safety points during laser performance could be seriously harmful for the medical staff and the patient. Therefore, in order to prevent the possible damage of th...

This paper describes in detail the bitonic sort algorithm,and implements the bitonic sort algorithm based on cuda architecture.At the same time,we conduct two effective optimization of implementation details according to the characteristics of the GPU,which greatly improve the efficiency. Finally,we survey the optimized Bitonic sort algorithm on the GPU with the speedup of quick sort algorithm ...
