To widen the selection of proteins for gene expression studies in barley seeds, experiments were performed to identify proteins whose synthesis is differentially regulated in developing and germinating seed tissues. The in vitro synthesis of nine distinct barley proteins was compared using mRNAs from isolated endosperm and aleurone tissues (developing and mature grain) and from cultured (germin...

In this paper, polyaryl polymethylene isocyanates (PAPI) were used as an innovative alternative material to prepare isocyanate microcapsules. PAPI could be used as core materials, which would react with small molecules containing active hydrogen (1,4-butanediol, ethylene glycol, 1,2-diaminoethane etc.). The reaction products of PAPI and active hydrogen would form a shell by interfacial polymeri...

This Special Issue brings together a selection of papers orally presented at the conference Phonetics and Phonology in Iberia (PaPI), held in Lisbon in 2013. (www.labfon.letras.ulisboa.pt/papi2013). For 10 years the PaPI conferences have been a highly productive setting for the sharing and discussion of investigation within phonology and phonetics and their interactions, and have undoubtedly pl...

Adherence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to host tissue is required for infection and is mediated by fimbriae, such as pyelonephritis-associated pili (Pap). Expression of P fimbriae is regulated by phase variation, and to date, phase transition frequencies have been measured only for pap regulatory region constructs integrated into the E. coli K-12 chromosome. The aim of this work was to mea...

A cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based electrolyte with polyaryl polymethylene isocyanate (PAPI) as the cross-linking agent is synthesized by a facile one-pot reaction. The PEO chains are PAPI through reaction between hydroxyl groups (−OH) and (−N=C=O). effects of on electrochemical performance PEO-based stability electrolyte/electrode interface investigated. PEO–PAPI has an ionic cond...

Technological progress has experienced very rapid development. Technology that developed began to slowly replace the conventional way of becoming more modern, especially in terms psychological tests. The test known as a is carried out measure aspects individual psychologically. One these tests PAPI Kostick Test which an inventory report person's personality work environment. online was using HT...

The global regulator Lrp plays a central role as both a repressor and an activator in Pap phase variation. Unlike most other members of the Lrp regulon such as ilvIH, activation of papBA transcription requires the coregulator PapI and is methylation dependent. We developed a two-color genetic screen to identify Lrp mutations that inhibit Pap phase variation but still activate ilvIH transcriptio...

The IBM BlueGene/L (BG/L) super-computer holds 3 of the top 10 rankings on the 26th TOP500 list of LINPACK performance. The system is novel in its design in many aspects when compared to other more traditional high-performance computing systems. When developing system libraries as well as when tuning application code for BG/L it is essential to be able to measure the impact of code modification...

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate, using the photoelastic analysis method, the stress distribution in mandibular bone surrounding a bar-clip overdenture when 2 implant angulations were simulated. Two mandibular photoelastic models were manufactured, with 2 implants embedded in the interforaminal region: model 1-PAPI, a photoelastic analysis model with parallel implants; and model 2...
