The main purpose of this paper is to study some relevant applications of the results on bialgebras of type one obtained in [AM1] in the framework of abelian braided monoidal categories. Let H be a braided bialgebra in a cocomplete and complete abelian braided monoidal category (M, c) satisfying AB5. Assume that the tensor product commutes with direct sums and is twosided exact. Let M be in HM H...

Meiosis encompasses a large number of dynamic processes. Some of them are biochemical, such as formation and repair of meiotic double-strand breaks, while others are physical in nature, such as homologous chromosome segregation in anaphase I. Plants have been used as model species in meiosis studies for over 80 years. However, the past decade brought a dramatic improvement in the understanding ...

Respiration rates of bacterial cultures can be a powerful tool in gauging the effects of genetic manipulation and environmental changes affecting overall metabolism. We present an optical method for measuring respiration rates using a robust phosphorescence lifetime-based sensor and off-the-shelf technology. This method was tested with the facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM...

The mass spectrometry of a number of 6-substituted coumarins was studied in the context of correlating fragmentation pathways and electronic charges of atoms performed by AM1 semiempirical method. The atomic charges of atoms are found to be good predictors of the fragmentation pathways.

We calculate the rate constant for the reaction •H + CH3OH f H2 + CH2OH both in the gas phase and in aqueous solution at 298 K. To accomplish this, we apply two different methods to estimate the electronic energies along the reaction path. First, we use specific reaction parameters (SRP) to mix the exchange and correlation energies in Becke’s adiabatic connection theory (AC-SRP) to optimize the...

Anaplasmosis, a persistent intraerythrocytic infection of cattle by Anaplasma marginale, causes severe anemia and a higher rate of abortion, resulting in significant loss to both dairy and beef industries. Clinical diagnosis is based on symptoms and confirmatory laboratory tests are required. Currently, all the diagnostic assays have been developed with whole antigens with indirect ELISA based ...

In humans, mycophenolic acid (MPA) is metabolized primarily by glucuronidation in the liver to mycophenolate ether glucuronide (MPAGe) and mycophenolate acyl glucuronide (MPAGa). We have previously reported that in perfused livers of TR(-) rats (lacking the Mrp2 transporter), the clearance and hepatic extraction ratio of MPA were significantly lower compared with control Wistar rats, suggesting...
