The standard geometrodynamics is reformulated into a theory of conformal geometrodynamics by extending the ADM phase space for canonical general relativity to a phase space consisting of York’s exterior mean curvature time, conformal 3-metric and their momenta. Accordingly, an additional constraint is introduced, called the conformal constraint. In terms of the new canonical variables, a diffeo...

With large social media platforms coming under increasing pressure to deplatform far-right users, the Alternative Technology movement (Alt-Tech) emerged as a new digital support infrastructure for far right. We conduct qualitative analysis of prominent Alt-Tech platform Gab, networking service primarily modelled on Twitter, assess virtual community platform. find Gab’s technological affordances...

The structure and regulation of the gab gene cluster, involved in -aminobutyric acid (GABA) shunt, were studied by characterizing gabT and gabD genes cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis. Deletions of the gabT and gabD genes in B. thuringiensis strain HD-73 did not affect the growth of mutant strains in rich culture media, but the growth of a gabT deletion mutant strain was reduced in basic media...

The genome sequence of Caloramator mitchellensis strain VF08, a rod-shaped, heterotrophic, strictly anaerobic bacterium isolated from the free-flowing waters of a Great Artesian Basin (GAB) bore well located in Mitchell, an outback Queensland town in Australia, is reported here. The analysis of the 2.42-Mb genome sequence indicates that the attributes of the genome are consistent with its physi...

The formation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis is widely controlled by environmental and metabolic feedback cues that determine the influx into the entire metabolic path. Because of its central role as the rate-limiting step, we hypothesized a potential role of ALA biosynthesis in tetrapyrrole-mediated retrograde signaling and exploited the direct impact of ALA biosyn...

the sorption isotherm and state diagram of sundried, golden and sultana raisins were constructed for investigation and comparison of the product stability. the isotherms were measured at 15, 25 and 35 °c using an isopiestic method and the data were modeled with gab model. glass transition temperatures of the products were measured by differential scanning calorimetery (dsc) and fitted to gordon...

moisture sorption isotherms for pistachio powder were determined by gravimetric method according to cost 90 project at temperatures of 15, 25, 35, and 40oc . maximum hysteresis level in sorption isotherms curve was observed at the range of water activity 0.2-0.7 . on the other hand hysteresis was diminished between adsorption-desorption isotherm curves when temperature reached 40oc. some mathem...
