The phosphorylation of glucose by different sugar kinases plays an essential role in Archaea because of the absence of a phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent transferase system characteristic for Bacteria. In the genome of the hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermoproteus tenax a gene was identified with sequence similarity to glucokinases of the so-called ROK family (repressor protein, open reading frame,...

This paper surveys the field of financial analysis using news data, and also our own considerable work regarding movie gross analysis to show the predictive power of news data. Since the 1990s, linguistic sources such as news have been continuously proved to carry extra and meaningful information beyond traditional quantitative finance data, and thus they can be used as predictive indicators in...

The usability of the solid phase extraction method with Tenax-TA adsorbent for the forecasting of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon losses during sewage sludges composting has been evaluated in the present study. Four municipal sewage sludges were composted for 76 days. The PAH content in the sludges ranged from 3674 to 11 236 microg kg(-1). After composting, a significant reduction of PAH conten...

We describe a new case of accidental intestinal myiasis by Eristalis tenax in Spain. Only about 20 cases have been reported worldwide, two of them occurring in Spain. A 51-year-old patient with nonspecific abdominal pain and occasional diarrhoea expelled larvae in her stool. Macroscopic analysis of these larvae revealed morphology compatible with that of Eristalis tenax. The larva analysis show...

We have described a new case of accidental intestinal myiasis that had occurred due to Eristalis tenax in Iran. A 4-year-old girl living in rural area near Bajestan city located in the south of Khorasan Razavi province visited the hospital lab with complaints of one live larva in feces and did not have other symptoms, except anal itching. This case had a history of consuming subterranean villag...

In recent years an effort has been made to supplement traditional methods for drug discovery by computerassisted “structure-based design.” The structure-based approach involves (among other issues) reasoning about the geometry of drug molecules (or ligands) and about the different spatial conformations that these molecules can attain. This is a preliminary report on a set of tools that we are d...

Tenax-TA, a solid-phase sorbent, was used as an alternative to hexadecane for continuous delivery of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to Desulfuromonas strain BB1, a chloro-respiring microorganism. In both batch and bioreactor configurations, Tenax not only maintained low, steady-state concentrations of PCE in an active culture for several months but also adsorbed the product of dechlorination, cis-1,2-...

A 39 year old woman was admitted with fever and an exacerbation of asthma. The chest radiograph showed extensive bilateral lung infiltrates, but transtracheal needle aspiration did not reveal any infectious organisms. The bronchoalveolar fluid lavage contained a large number of Trichomonas tenax and an increased percentage of eosinophils. Corticosteroids provided a dramatic response. Because of...
