The basic idea of the Meir/Sharma/Hall/Meyer error analysis for cubic spline interpolation (see [SM66], [H68], [HM76]) has been extended to cover also certain deficient quartic and quintic spline interpolation schemes, the latter already by them, the former by Howell/Varma [HV89] and, perhaps, others. It is the purpose of this note to describe the most general situation to which this idea appli...

Native mass spectrometry is now an important tool in structural biology. Thus, the nature of higher protein structure vacuum spectrometer area significant interest. One major goals study gas-phase to elucidate stabilising role interactions at level individual amino acid residues. A strategy combining chemical modification together with collision induced unfolding (CIU) was developed and employe...

Ribosomes from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) possess species-specific ribosomal RNA (rRNA) expansion segments and ribosomal proteins (rProtein). Here, we present the near-atomic structures of the Mtb 50S ribosomal subunit and the complete Mtb 70S ribosome, solved by cryo-electron microscopy. Upon joining of the large and small ribosomal subunits, a 100-nt long expansion segment of the Mtb 23...

Addressing the Legacy Costs in an NDC Reform: Conceptualization, Measurement, Financing The paper provides a framework for the conceptualization, definition and estimation of legacy costs that need to be addressed in a reform that transforms an unfunded defined contribution (NDB) scheme into a notional (or non-financial) defined contribution (NDC) scheme. As the new contribution rate is fixed a...

The neurodegenerative spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are characterized by the conversion of the normal cellular form of the prion protein PrP(C) to a pathogenic form, PrP(Sc) [1]. There are four copies of an octarepeat PHGG(G/S)WGQ that specifically bind Cu(2+) ions within the N-terminal half of PrP(C) [2--4]. This has led to proposals that prion diseases may, in part, be due t...

budget plays an important role in public sector management and administration .one of its components is revenues forecasting and without the necessary accuracy in predicting revenues, government deficit will occur and people are incapable of facing with losses of reducing of important and essential services like education and health care. in this study, the rational expectations hypothesis is a...
