The complexation of Cm(III) with the recombinant N-lobe of human serum transferrin (hTf/2N) is investigated in the pH range from 4.0 to 11.0 using TRLFS. At pH ≥ 7.4 a Cm(III) hTf/2N species is formed with Cm(III) bound at the Fe(III) binding site. The results are compared with Cm(III) transferrin interaction at the C-lobe and indicate the similarity of the coordination environment of the C- an...

block ramps are hydraulic structures which are commonly used in river restoration projects. especially in the last few decades, the use of this type of structures have become more and more popular. they furnish a correct balance between the hydraulic functioning and the environmental care, as they minimize the impact on the environment in which they are located. in addition, they can be conside...

Five subsurface sections and a large number of thin the Hartha Formation (age Late Campanian – Early Maastrichtian) were studied to unravel depositional facies environments. The is important as an oil reservoir in Iraq. Petrographic microfacies analysis selected wells from Balad East Baghdad fields Central Iraq, enable recognition three main Sedimentary paleoenvironments. These are restricted m...

We wished to determine the influential factors for Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome (INS) subjects' ability to acquire and pursue moving targets using predictions from the behavioral Ocular Motor System (OMS) model and data from INS subjects. Ocular motor simulations using a behavioral OMS model were performed in MATLAB Simulink. Eye-movement recordings were performed using a high-speed digital vid...

Abstract The present study deals with microfacies analysis, paleoecology and sequence stratigraphy of the Lower–Middle Eocene rocks in central Nile Valley west-central Sinai. Four rock units were marked (Minia, Darat, Samalut Maghagha formations). Eight facies belts interpreted including lagoon, back bank, main fore bank open marine outer deposited on a gently dipping platform ramp. This ramp m...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in subsurface reservoirs is important for limiting atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, a complete physical picture able to predict the structure developing within the porous medium is lacking. We investigate theoretically reactive transport in the long-time evolution of carbon in the brine-rock environment. As CO2 is injected into a brine-rock environment...

The effects of prior moderate- and prior heavy-intensity exercise on the subsequent metabolic response to incremental exercise were examined. Healthy, young adult subjects (n = 8) performed three randomized plantar-flexion exercise tests: 1) an incremental exercise test (approximately 0.6 W/min) to volitional fatigue (Ramp); 2) Ramp preceded by 6 min of moderate-intensity, constant-load exercis...

In this paper, the depositional environment, age, and tectonic context of Sub-Himalayan Kuldana Formation are discussed in detail. To determine Formation’s setting, sedimentological, palaeontological, petrographic investigations have been conducted accordingly. The lithologically consists both siliciclastic carbonate rocks. Petrographically, sandstone is divided into litharenite feldspathic pet...

One of the major criticisms of ramp-metering has been the delay caused on the ramps because of the queues created by ramp control strategies. However, recently, several researchers proposed strategies that explicitly take into account ramp queues when determining metering rates. In this paper, an isolated “feedback” based ramp-metering strategy using modeling is presented. In addition to the re...
