The gene coding for opine dehydrogenase from Arthrobacter sp. strain 1C was cloned onto plasmid pBluescript KS(-), and the nucleotide sequence of the 1,077-bp open reading frame consisting of 359 codons was identified as the odh gene. Transformed Escherichia coli cells overproduced NAD+-dependent opine dehydrogenase under control of the promoter of the lac gene on pBluescript KS(-).

Following Antman [Amer. Math. Mon., 87 (1980), pp. 359–370], we advocate a more physically realistic and systematic derivation of the wave equation suitable for a typical undergraduate course in partial differential equations. To demonstrate the utility of this derivation, three applications that follow naturally are described: strings, hanging chains, and jump ropes.

This paper reports on an extensive effort to categorize existing quantitative research on information systems implementation. By examining approximately 5000 articles from five highly ranked journals, 359 different independent variables were found and analyzed according to the principle of the hermeneutic circle. The paper ends with a presentation of the resulting framework and suggested defini...

The simultaneous improvement of the melting temperature (T(m) = 224 °C) and the decomposition temperature (T(10) = 359 °C) of poly(lactide)s was achieved by the stereocomplex formation of poly(l-lactide) and poly(d-lactide) with bio-based aromatic groups at both initiating and terminating chain ends.
