IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is the technology that will merge the Internet (packet switching) with the cellular world (circuit switching). Presence is one of the basic services which is likely to become omnipresent in IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem). It is the service that allows a user to be informed about the reachability, availability, and willingness of communication of another user. The fl...

Correct and timely folding is critical to the function of all proteins. The importance of this is illustrated in the biogenesis of the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) "small Tim" proteins. Biogenesis of the small Tim proteins is regulated by dedicated systems or pathways, beginning with synthesis in the cytosol and ending with assembly of individually folded proteins into functional com...

The analysis of explosives with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) directly from aqueous solutions was shown for the first time using an electrospray ionization technique. The IMS was operated in the negative mode at 250 degrees C and coupled with a quadrupole mass spectrometer to identify the observed IMS peaks. The IMS response characteristics of trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DN...

Solid–solid ðSSÞ phase transformations via nanometer-size intermediate melts ðIMsÞ within the SS interface, hundreds of degrees below melting temperature, were predicted thermodynamically and are consistent with experiments for various materials. A necessary condition for the appearance of IMs, using a sharp interface approach, was that the ratio of the energies of SS and solid–melt ðSMÞ interf...

The immunomagnetic separation (IMS) is a technique that has been used to increase sensitivity and specificity and to decrease the time required for detection of Salmonella in foods through different methodologies. In this work we report on the development of a method for detection of Salmonella in chicken cuts using in house antibody-sensitized microspheres associated to conventional plating in...

The rapid and sensitive detection of sugar alcohol sweeteners was demonstrated using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). IMS provides a valuable alternative in sensitivity, cost, and analysis speed between the lengthy gold-standard liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique and rapid point-of-measurement disposable colorimetric sensors, for the Food and Nutrition industry's quality ...

MALDI-based Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is an analytical technique that provides the opportunity to study the spatial distribution of biomolecules including proteins and peptides in organic tissue. IMS measures a large collection of mass spectra spread out over an organic tissue section and retains the absolute spatial location of these measurements for analysis and imaging. The classical a...

BACKGROUND Socio-cultural differences for country-specific activities are rarely addressed in physical activity questionnaires. We examined the reliability and validity of the Indian Migration Study Physical Activity Questionnaire (IMS-PAQ) in urban and rural groups in India. METHODS A sub-sample of IMS participants (n = 479) was used to examine short term (≤ 1 month [n = 158]) and long term ...

OBJECTIVE The effects of vaccinating 18-day-old chicken embryos with the combination of recombinant Eimeria profilin plus Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) NetB proteins mixed in the Montanide IMS adjuvant on the chicken immune response to necrotic enteritis (NE) were investigated using an Eimeria maxima (E. maxima)/C. perfringens co-infection NE disease model that we previously develope...
