FtsK acts at the bacterial division septum to couple chromosome segregation with cell division. We demonstrate that a truncated FtsK derivative, FtsK(50C), uses ATP hydrolysis to translocate along duplex DNA as a multimer in vitro, consistent with FtsK having an in vivo role in pumping DNA through the closing division septum. FtsK(50C) also promotes a complete Xer recombination reaction between...

The effect of Alumina nanoparticle size on thermophysical properties, heat transfer performance and pressure loss characteristics of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF)-Al2O3 nanofluids is studied experimentally for the proposed application of regenerative cooling of semi-cryogenic rocket engine thrust chambers. Al2O3 particles with mean diameters of 50 nm or 150 nm are dispersed in ATF. At 50C and 0.3...

storage conditions influence quality of gladiolus corms which thereby affects qualityof flowers. in the present study, the effects of pre-storage curing and differenttemperature conditions on corm germination and various vegetative and reproductivegrowth parameters of gladiolus grandiflorus cv. white prosperity and gladiolusgrandiflorus cv. ruse supreme were studied. application of pre-storage ...

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia can be a life-threatening sequel to conventional use of unfractionated heparin in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study evaluated the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) and efficacy profile of a novel direct thrombin inhibitor, TGN 255, during cardiac surgery in dogs. Point-of-care coagulation monitoring was also compared against the plasma concentration...

ZnS/glass Thinlayer in high vacuum condition and $40$ degree‎ ‎Deposition angle has been produced by resistance evaporated method ‎with $28$ nm thickness‎. ‎cabin deposition temperature ZnS layer was‎ ‎about $50C$ and substrates were kept at room temperature‎. ‎The Atomic ‎Force Microscopy (AFM) and XRD analyses are perfectly accomplished‎ ‎for this layer.‎‎‎

A physical picture and quantitative two-dimensional electromagnetic modeling of mesospheric electric field transients produced by cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning discharges with short duration currents (<0.5 ms) are presented. The range of applicability of existing quasi-electrostatic models of sprites and the physical conditions under which relatively weak CG lightning discharges (thundercloud ...

Reduced the temperature for the LiNH2 to Li2NH transition from 120C to 50C via mechanical activation. This reduction paves the way for near-room-temperature hydrogen sorption and desorption of the LiNH2 + LiH system. Enhanced hydrogen sorption and desorption rates of the LiNH2 + LiH system at and below 200 C via mechanical activation. Identified the dehydriding behavior and issues associated wi...

Calcined clay pellets are popular planting material for those who love to grow plants in pots. The calcined consist of (C), phosphate rock (PR), and rice husk ash (RHA). [(1-x)(50C–50PR)-xRHA], x(RHA) = 0, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, 0.65 wt% were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. samples made into spherical shape with diameter 10 mm fired at 600℃ 1000℃...
