Temperature Dependency of Synthetic Fibres (I)

Biotransformations in synthetic fibres

Recent studies clearly indicate that the modification of synthetic polymers with enzymes is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical methods requiring harsh conditions. Some work already performed on polyamide 6.6 (nylon 6.6), polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) revealed that surface functionalization of these materials is a key requirement for an ...

Computer simulations of the growth of synthetic peptide fibres.

We present a coarse-grained computer model designed to study the growth of fibres in a synthetic self-assembling peptide system. The system consists of two 28 residue α-helical sequences, denoted AB and CD, in which the interactions between the half peptides, A, B, C and D, may be tuned individually to promote different types of growth behaviour. In the model, AB and CD are represented by doubl...

Synthetic Treebanking for Cross-Lingual Dependency Parsing

How do we parse the languages for which no treebanks are available? This contribution addresses the cross-lingual viewpoint on statistical dependency parsing, in which we attempt to make use of resource-rich source language treebanks to build and adapt models for the under-resourced target languages. We outline the benefits, and indicate the drawbacks of the current major approaches. We emphasi...

Temperature dependency of P2 receptor-mediated responses.

The P2 receptor-mediated responses of isolated guinea pig urinary bladder and vas deferens (P2X receptors) and taenia caeci (P2Y receptors) were registered at the three temperature conditions of 30, 37 and 42 degrees C. The contractile responses of both urinary bladder and vas deferens to a P2X receptor agonist alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-meATP; 0.01-30 microM) and to electrical field ...
