The isoprenoid pathway converts pyruvate to isoprene and related isoprenoid compounds in plants and some bacteria. Currently, this pathway is of great interest because of the critical role that isoprenoids play in basic cellular processes, as well as the industrial value of metabolites such as isoprene. Although the regulation of several pathway genes has been described, there is a paucity of i...

Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Hauptprobleme der Methode Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), welche oft zur Simulation von Flüssigkeiten und Gasen im Bereich der Computer Graphik verwendet wird. In der Dissertation präsentieren wir ein neues, inkompressibles Verfahren basierend auf SPH, welches Inkompressibilität durch eine Prädiktor-Korrektor Methode erzwingt. Mit unserem Ansatz kön...

Background: To better understand effects of iron restriction on Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and to identify new potential vaccine targets, we conducted transcript profiling studies using a DNA microarray containing all 2025 ORFs of the genome of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5b strain L20. This is the first study involving the use of microarray technology to monitor the transcriptome of A. p...
