Approximate Hammett reaction constants rho calculated from k2/K8 values of several phenyl esters of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine, hippuric acid, and beta-phenylpropionic acid are 0.0, 0.4, and 1.0 respectively. To determine whether the lack of substituent effect of k2/K8 with the N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine esters is a result of substituent-insensitive k2 or rate-limiting association of enzyme and sub...

A method of ultrasonic leaching has been developed for the destructive analysis of magmatic rock samples. This method was applied to determine three new elements, Ca, Mg and Al, in magmatic rock samples. The accuracy of the ultrasonic leaching method (CULM) was tested using standard reference materials (SRMs) and the recovery ratio as K1 = CULM/CSRM was defined. Another recovery ratio, K2, was ...

We perform a homogeneous search for and analysis of optical occultations phase variations the most favorable ultra-short-period (USP) ($P<1$~d) sub-Neptunes ($R_{p}<4 R_{\oplus}$) observed by $\textit{Kepler}$ K2, with aim better understanding their nature. first selected 16 K2 USP sub-Neptunes, based on expected occultation signal. filtered out stellar variability in light curves, using slidin...

In this paper, we give some explicit evaluations of multiple zeta-star values which are rational multiple of powers of π. 1 Main Results The multiple zeta value (MZV) is defined by the convergent series ζ(k1, k2, . . . , kn) := ∑ m1>m2>···>mn>0 1 m1 1 m k2 2 · · ·m kn n , where k1, k2, . . . , kn are positive integers and k1 ≥ 2. The integers k = k1+k2+ · · ·+kn and n are called weight and dept...

We present the complete sequence of a cDNA encoding rabbit immunoglobulin kappa light chains of the Basilea isotype (K2). Although all rabbits seem to possess a K2 constant region gene, expression of this gene in most rabbits is minimal if present at all. Even in Basilea rabbits the majority of expressed immunoglobulins are of lambda type. We find that the sequence of our Basilea cDNA constant ...

Several reports suggest that obesity is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Vitamin K plays an important role in improving bone metabolism. This study examined the effects of vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 supplementation on the biochemical markers of bone turnover and morphological microstructure of the bones by using an obese mouse model. Four-week-old C57BL/6J male mice were fed a 10% fat normal diet...

Despite the high overall similarity in primary structure between kringle one (K1) and kringle two (K2) of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) there exists an enormous functional difference. It is thought that, in contrast to K1, K2 mediates lysine binding and fibrin binding and is involved in stimulation of plasminogen activation by fibrin or derivatives as CNBr fragments of fibrinogen. Hy...

Initial results on particle yields obtained by the HARP experiment are presented. The measurements correspond to proton–nucleus collisions at beam energies of 12.9 GeV /c and for a thin Al target of 5% interacion legth. The angular range considered is between 10 and 250 mrad. This results are the first step in the upcoming measurement of the forward production cross-section for the same target ...

This work considers recovery of signals that are sparse over two bases. For instance, a signal might be sparse in both time and frequency, or a matrix can be low rank and sparse simultaneously. To facilitate recovery, we consider minimizing the sum of the l1-norms that correspond to each basis, which is a tractable convex approach. We find novel optimality conditions which indicates a gain over...
