Reaction Microscopes (REMI) [1] enable kinematically complete experiments on atomic and molecular fragmentation processes by coincident and momentum resolved detection of recoiling target ions and emitted electrons. Thus, these devices represent the ideal tool to study with highest possible detail the many-particle dynamics in collisions of fast highly-charged ions with atoms or molecules. The ...

Recently published clinical trials have demonstrated superiority of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) over lysis in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment. Current practice guidelines have established PPCI as a preferred method of reperfusion in STEMI, as long as it can be performed within 90 min from patient’s first medical contact. However, in the majority of cas...

In vitro tests of interactions between Streptomyces griseus strains and some soil borne plant pathogens like Fusarium oxysporum; Alternaria alternate; Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani of tomato were studied on PDA medium. Strains tested produced a metabolite that inhibited growth of plant pathogenic fungi on PDA medium (Dual Culture Test). When grown in liquid cultures containing colloida...

The actin cytoskeleton of a cell is required for cell-shape changes, cell motility and chemotaxis, as well as for cytokinesis, intracellular transport processes, development and signal transduction. It is composed of actin and associated proteins. Their interactions are highly dynamic, and constant reorganization of the actin network is required for it to perform its functions. Dictyostelium ha...

Xanthophylls, primarily hydroxyland keto-derivatives of β-carotene (such as zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, canthaxanthin, echinenone and astaxanthin) have powerful antioxidant activity. Due to several positive effects on human and animal health, industrial application of xanthophylls shows an increasing tendency. In our previous study, carotenoid biosynthesis of the β-carotene producing zygomycet...

From the research point of view, the RODIN project will focus on: (1) extending level set methods to nonlinear mechanical or multiphysics models and to complex geometrical constraints, (2) developing algorithms for moving meshes with a possible change of topology, (3) adapting in a level-set framework second-order optimization algorithms having the ability of handling a large number of design v...

Despite the amount of researchinto the cavity flow problem the prediction of the flow patterns, asso-ciated forces and acoustic phenomenaremains an unsolved problem. The coupling of the shear layerdynamics, the internal vortical structures and the acoustics of the cavity make it a very complex flowdespite the simple geometry. Once doors, stores and release mechanism are adde...

s for Talks Overexpression of the Dictyostelium discoideum paxB gene interferes with normal cell-cell cohesion, cell-substrate adhesion, and cell sorting M. Berenice Duran, Derrick Brazill M. Berenice Duran The development of the eukaryote Dictyostelium discoideum displays many of the features of animal embryogenesis such as regulated cell-cell adhesion and morphogenesis. As in animals, Dictyos...
