The report describes the synthesis, self-association and DNA binding studies of an aromatic tripeptide H-Phe-Phe-Phe-OH (FFF). The peptide backbone adopts β-sheet conformation both in solid and solution. In aqueous solution, FFF self-assembles to form nanostructured aggregates. Interactions of this peptide with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) have been studied using various biophysical techniques incl...

The production of renewable energy fluctuates in terms sun and wind must be supplemented by storage the system. On an individual basis, i.e., for centralized electricity predominantly self-consumption, use batteries is considered here. Possible future development scenarios were simulated based on current price relationships (status quo). In status quo, a selling PV 13 Euro cents (ct)ct/kWh was ...

The influence of hole-hole propagation in addition to the conventional particle-particle propagation, on the energy per nucleon and the momentum distribution is investigated. The results are compared to the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) calculations with a continuous choice and conventional choice for the single-particle spectrum. The Bethe-Goldstone equation has been solved using realistic N N ...

Research on the longitudinal association between self-esteem and satisfaction with social relationships has led to ambiguous conclusions regarding temporal order strength of this relation. Existing studies have examined across intervals ranging from days years, leaving it unclear as what extent differences in timing may explain studies. In present study, we used continuous time structural equat...

Several articles have recently questioned the distinction between acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and traditional cognitive therapy (CT). This study presents a reanalysis of data from Zettle and Rains that compared 12 weeks of group CT with group ACT. For theoretical reasons, Zettle and Rains also included a modified form of CT that did not include distancing, and no intent-to-treat ana...

Design of organic–inorganic hybrids by anchoring plasmonic materials such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on self-assembled organic substrates is useful but challenging. Herein, in situ the surface a designed spherical assembly via AuS bond formation presented. First, thiol tailed pyrene derivative (2) undergoes solvent dependent self-assembly, transforming into an aggregate (2agg). The (-SH) ri...

BACKGROUND Computed Tomography (CT) scan without contrast is the modality of choice for diagnosis of stroke. However, routine brain CT scan, with linear processing has some limitations in early diagnosis of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of processed CT images with conventional ones in early diagnosis of cerebrovascular attack ...
