Introduction Zein, a major protein of corn, is conspicuous for its ability to form films. It is relatively hydrophobic, soluble in alcohol-water mixtures (40% 85%) but insoluble in pure water or alcohols. Current structural models of the zein molecule (Argos et al 1982, Matsushima et al 1997) consider zein is formed by nine to ten tandem repeats of α-helical segments aligned in anti-parallel fa...

2. The Council of Wizards is tested in the followingway: The King lines the wizards up in a row and places on the head of each of them either a white hat or a blue hat or a red hat. Each wizard sees the colours of hats of the people standing in front of him, but he neither sees the colour of his hat nor the colours of hats of the people standing behind. Every minute some of the wizards must ann...

315 Introduction In recent times, there have been two striking developments in the area of insulin therapy. On the therapy front, insulin therapy especially in type 2 diabetes has become a topic frequently reviewed in literature (Marre, 2000; Korytkowski, 2000). These reviews discuss the role of early insulin initiation in the light of the growing burden of type 2 diabetes coupled with the need...

BACKGROUND The optimal method for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is not yet known. The hypothesis of the present study was that a double-row repair would demonstrate superior static and cyclic mechanical behavior when compared with a single-row repair. The specific aims were to measure gap formation at the bone-tendon interface under static creep loading and the ultimate strength and mode of ...

abstract in order to genetic investigation of drought resistance indices, on 25 maize inbred lines, an experiment was conducted under three irrigation regimes; normal irrigation, limited vegetative irrigation and limited reproductive irrigation. in the limited vegetative irrigation, tol (stress tolerance) index had the highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (83.83% and 68.04%...

given the importance of sustainable agricultural development, using non-chemical weed management such as cover crops and decreasing row spacing has an importance in weed control and reducing herbicide use. in order to an experiment was conducted at agricultural research site in agricultural college, university of mohaghegh ardabili in 2011. the experiment done as factorial based on randomized c...

BACKGROUND Telehealth is an emerging field of clinical practice but current UK health policy has not taken account of the perceptions of front-line healthcare professionals expected to implement it. AIM To investigate telehealth care for people with long-term conditions from the perspective of the front-line health professional. DESIGN AND SETTING A qualitative study in three sites within t...

The ACIS front-illuminated CCDs onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory were damaged in the extreme environment of the Earth's radiation belts, resulting in enhanced charge transfer inefficiency (CTI). This produces a row dependence in gain, event grade, and energy resolution. We model the CTI as a function of input photon energy, including the effects of de-trapping (charge trailing), shielding ...

The company I co-founded was busy deploying dedicated wireless to backhaul video for cities across the United States. These systems were mainly purchased by law enforcement and public safety agencies within those cities. We had a bird’s-eye view and front-row seat to the downsides of Muni Wi-Fi. I remember having conversations internally with my business partner about jumping on this bandwagon,...
