Silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties such as high melting point, rigidity, and high temperatures strength. In this research, different amount of SiC were added to Silica refractory containing different binders such as Borax, Boric acid, Calcium nitride, Sodium tri poly phosphate, Sodium hexa meta phosphate (SHMP) and lime. Phy...

Ceramic Ultrafiltration membranes are considered as an alternative for the treatment of both stable water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions proved to be more effective in comparison with other conventional techniques. In this study, symmetric macro-porous ceramic membranes are prepared through dry pressing of α-alumina powder and the addition of various binders including Poly (vinyl alcohol). T...

OF COMMUNICATION ON THE USE OF POST PART.UM BINDERS. By Dr Thomas Cairns.

In the String & Binders Switch (SBS) model 1,2 a chromatin filament is represented as a self-avoiding (SAW) polymer chain, composed by N beads. Each bead of the chain interacts with diffusing Brownian particles (binders) having a molar concentration c. The scale of their binding energy to a cognate polymer bead is named í µí°¸!"#. The beads of the chain and the binders are subject to Brownian m...

Field ageing is investigated based on recovered binders. Fifteen sections were considered, consisting of unmodified and polymer-modified binders (PmB). Binders from the wearing course, after slicing cores horizontally. To assess field laboratory tendencies, compared to a set reference binders, tested before ageing. For three sites, bottom slices long-term aged properties top slices. Stiffness-b...

Computational prediction of protein function is frequently error-prone and incomplete. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), ~25% of all genes have no predicted function and are annotated as hypothetical proteins, severely limiting our understanding of Mtb pathogenicity. Here, we utilize a high-throughput quantitative activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) platform to probe, annotate, and valid...

Nominal rewriting introduced a novel method of specifying rewriting on syntax-with-binding. We extend this treatment of rewriting with hierarchy of variables representing increasingly ‘meta-level’ variables, e.g. in hierarchical nominal term rewriting the meta-level unknowns (representing unknown terms) in a rewrite rule can be ‘folded into’ the syntax itself (and rewritten). To the extent that...

Ribosome display has proven to be a powerful in vitro selection and evolution method for generating high-affinity binders from libraries of folded proteins. It has been successfully applied to single-chain Fv fragments of antibodies and alternative scaffolds, such as Designed Ankyrin Repeat Proteins (DARPins). High-affinity binders with new target specificity can be obtained from highly diverse...

HEALTH POLITICAL BACKGROUND In 2006, the prevalence of chronic renal insufficiency in Germany was 91,718, of which 66,508 patients were on dialysis. The tendency is clearly growing. SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND Chronic renal insufficiency results in a disturbance of the mineral balance. It leads to hyperphosphataemia, which is the strongest independent risk factor for mortality in renal patients. Us...
