A simple chromatographic procedure using DEAE-Sephadex has been established to isolate the troponin I-troponin C complex from unbound troponin I (TnI) and troponin C (TnC). A 1:1 complex can be formed between bovine cardiac carboxamidomethylated troponin I and rabbit skeletal troponin C. The formation of the complex is calcium dependent. It is stable to DEAE-chromatography in 6 M urea, 3 mM Ca2...

PURPOSE This in-vitro study was designed to evaluate retention forces, microleakage and plastic deformation of a prefabricated 2-implant bar attachment system (SFI-Bar, Cendres+Métaux, Switzerland). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two SFI implant-adapters were torqued with 35 Ncm into two implant analogues. Before the tube bars were finally sealed, the inner cavity of the tube bar was filled with liqui...

Satellite passive microwave observations from 1.4 to 36 GHz already showed sensitivity vegetation parameters, primarily through the calculations of Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) at individual window frequencies, separately. Here we evaluate synergy this frequency range for characterization, estimation two its foliage and photosynthesis activity as described by Normalized Difference Index (NDVI...

Recently we reported that removal of noncovalently bonded protein from glutenin resulted in decreased viscoelasticity. In that study, two glutenin fractions were isolated by successive gel filtration of glutenin on Sephadex G-200 in the solvents acetic acid-guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl)-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (AGC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). This note reports the S20,W values o...

Abstract: A decentralized state estimation method for automatic generation control (AGC) of interconnected power systems is proposed in this paper. Based on the Inclusion Principle for linear stochastic systems, the state space model of the system is decomposed as a group of pair-wise subsystem models. The overlapping decentralized estimators and fully decentralized estimators are designed for ...

Supplementary Methods Primers used for genotyping: The α’ promoter silencing system and the drd1 mutant alleles have been described previously (Kanno et al., 2004). The work reported here was carried out using plants carrying the drd1-6 allele. The drd1-6 mutation produces a G to A substitution (TGGTCA to TGATCA), producing a new NdeII restriction enzyme site (/GATC) that can be used for genoty...

A randomized controlled trial has started in both Japan and Korea to evaluate the role of gastrectomy in the management of incurable advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Patients with AGC diagnosed as having a single non-curable factor are randomized to gastrectomy plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Surgeons at 33 specialized centers in Japan and at 15 high-volume hospitals in Korea will recrui...

As the scale of power system continues to expand and energy situation changes dramatically, existing automatic generation control (AGC) strategy needs be optimized improved. The current grid AGC mainly adopts closed-loop PI control. By learning an excellent data set that incorporates characteristics DFT control, this paper proposes a real-time based on deep forest network. selects controller wi...
