Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is a member of the pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family of the flavoenzymes. It can use a dithiol-disulfide active-site to transfer reducing equivalents from NADPH to thioredoxin (Trx), via the cofactor FAD. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the cytoplasmic thioredoxin reductase Trr1 plays an important role in multiple cellular events under the control of ...

A fleet of autonomous ground vehicles (AGV) is envisioned to expand farming arable land suitable for production except being too steep conventional equipment. The success proposed multi-AGV system largely depends on the traction performance individual AGVs unevenly sloped terrain and optimization control variables. Therefore, drawbar pull a prototype AGV was evaluated in soil bin at varying slo...

UNLABELLED In 2004, Ghana started implementing a National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to remove cost as a barrier to quality healthcare. Providers were initially paid by fee - for - service. In May 2008, this changed to paying providers by a combination of Ghana - Diagnostic Related Groupings (G-DRGs) for services and fee - for - service for medicines through the claims process. OBJECTIVE ...
