Nitrate reductase (NR) activity, induced by germination in KNO3 showed a strong rhythmicity during the early stages of germination of wheat embryos. Peaks of activity occurred approximateiy every 12 h. Tbere was no relationship hetween the amounts of nitrate in tbe embryos and enzyme activity. Tbe fluctuations in enzyme activity did not appear to be due to reversible inactivation of the enzyme....

photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (fes, fes/fes2, nio and tio2). the reaction was carried out in continues flow of co2 gas bubbled into the reactor. semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (drs) methods. sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. t...

this study on the design of pid controllers for flexible single-arm robot system optimizationpso method is focused so that the coefficients of the pid controller are reduced. in this study,pid controller and pso algorithm have been described and then by using matlab, pidcontrol was simulated. then by pso algorithm, attempts to reduce the pid coefficients are givenby simulation. finally pid coef...

paleolithic lithic assemblages are traditionally described on the bases of presence of a variety of tool types(typology) and of different knapping technologies. in this study we tried to investigate whether the presence ofdifferent groups of scrapers in the mar-tarik site assigned to the middle paleolithic represent specific function orjust different stages of the reduction process and constant...

here we consider the p-center problem on different types of fuzzy networks. in particular, we are interested in the networks with interval and triangular fuzzy arc lengths and vertex-weights. a methodology to obtain the best satisfaction level of the decision maker who wishes to reduce the cost within the tolerance limits is proposed. illustrative examples are provided.

The rational design of quinones with specific redox properties is an issue of great interest because of their applications in pharmaceutical and material sciences. In this work, the electrochemical behavior of a series of four p-quinones was studied experimentally and theoretically. The first and second one-electron reduction potentials of the quinones were determined using cyclic voltammetry a...

In this paper, we revisit the Computational Square-Root Exponent Problem (CSREP), and give a more generic condition such that CSREP is polynomial-time equivalent to the Computational DiffieHellman Problem (CDHP) in the group with prime order. The results obtained in this paper contain Zhang et al.’s results at IWCC2011. We also analyze the existence of such condition. Although primes satisfying...
