Lifespan extension under mild stress is frequently observed although difficult to quantify and generalize as previous studies differed substantially in specific experimental arrangements. We cultured the budding yeast in several environments defined by different temperature, source of energy, saline concentration or combinations of these factors. Cells obtained under different growth regimes we...

Coalition Logic (CL) is one of the most important formalisms for specification and verification of game-like multi-agent systems. Several extensions of the logic have been studied in the literature. These extensions are usually fusions (independent joins) of CL with other modal logics (e.g., temporal, epistemic, dynamic, etc.), and they are generally propositional. In this paper, we propose a g...

Generally, wavelets are purposefully crafted to have specific properties that make them useful for signal processing. In recent years, wavelet analysis have commonly been used instead of Fourier analysis. This is a new approach for evaluation of water quality parameters. This study determined water quality parameters and effects on water quality in Gölcük, Turkey. A 13-month data series was com...

Deep levels in Cd12xZn xTe have not yet been fully characterized and understood, even though this material is very promising for medical and optoelectronic applications. We have investigated p-type semi-insulating Cd0.8Zn0.2Te with cathodoluminescence ~CL! and photoinduced current transient spectroscopy ~PICTS! methods. PICTS analyses allow detection of deep levels which are not revealed by oth...

We estimate the relation between binary responses and corresponding covariate vectors, both observed over a large spatial lattice. We assume a hierarchical generalized linear model with probit link function, partition the lattice into blocks, and adopt the working assumption of independence between the blocks to obtain an easily solved estimating equation. Standard errors are obtained using the...

Abstract The effect of contamination with petroleum substances (A1 jet fuel and 15W40 mineral oil) on the compressibility consolidation mixtures ice-dammed clay aeolian sand was determined in a Barden–Rowe consolidometer adapted for liquid-phase tests. deterioration filtration capacity contaminated soil medium relative to non-contamination condition is reflected by mobilization higher values po...

In terrestrial vertebrates, the vomeronasal organ (VNO) detects and transduces pheromone signals. VNO activation is thought to be mediated by the transient receptor potential C2 (TRPC2) channel. The aberrant behavioural phenotypes observed in TRPC2-/- mice are generally attributed to the lost VNO function. Recently, calcium-activated chloride channels have been shown to contribute to VNO activa...

The structure of the polymeric title compound, [CuCl(CH(4)N(2)S)(2)](n), has been redetermined to modern standards of precision with anisotropic refinement and location of the H atoms. The previous structure report [Spofford & Amma (1970 ▶). Acta Cryst. B26, 1474-1483] is generally confirmed to higher precision [typical Cu-S bond length s.u. values = 0.005 (old) and 0.001 Å (new)]. The asymmetr...

Effects of imidazoles and substituted pyridines and pure s-donors on the oxidation of cyclooctene with NaIO4 by 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato-manganese(III) acetate, Mn(TPP)OAc, and 5,10,15,20-Tetramesitylporphyrinato-manganese(III) acetate, Mn(TMP)OAc, catalysts in CH2Cl2-H2O solvent are studied. Coordination of the nitrogen donors to the Mn...
