Inorganic polyphosphates are long chains of a few to several hundred phosphate residues linked by phosphoanhydride bonds (Figure 1). Polyphosphates have been found in all cell types examined to date and have been demonstrated to play diverse roles depending on the cell type and circumstances (Kornberg et al., 1999; Kulaev & Kulakovskaya, 2000). The biological roles played by polyphosphates have...

Results of limnological investigation of lake Ashura showed that air and water temperatures were 31.5 ± 0.25oC and 30.0 ± 0.45oC, respectively in the month of April, 2011. pH, alkalinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and TDS of water were 7.11 ± 0.02, 2.96 ± 0.58 meq/l, 760.67 ± 8.08 μS/cm, 7.72 ± 0.41 mg/l and 104.67 ± 1.53 mg/l, respectively. The concentration of NO3-N, SRP and SRS were 63....

This paper sets out to investigate the impact of subjective job insecurity, i.e. expectations of job loss within the next 12 months, on general risk perceptions. The paper builds on earlier research of the so called White Male Effect (WME) showing that women and people with foreign background perceive risks higher than women and native people. It is well known that women and people with foreign...
