Correspondence analysis of a bivariate table has many diierent opti-mality properties. For instance, the scores computed by correspondence analysis linearize both regressions, and maximize the correlation coee-cient. We try to generalize both properties to the multivariate situation, using the concept of maximizing any aspect of the correlation matrix, and the concept of simultaneously lineariz...

objective(s): streptococcus pyogenes produces extracellular hyaluronidase enzyme. this enzyme is directly associated with the spread of the organism during infection. the objective of the present study was to clone and express the nucleotide sequence of the enzyme which is involved in hyaluronidase enzymatic activity. materials and methods: the enzymatic region of hyaluronidase gene was detecte...

methylmalonic acidemia (mma) is usually caused by a deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl-coa mutase (mcm), a defect in the transport or synthesis of its cofactor, adenosyl-cobalamin (cbla, cblb, cblc, cblf, cbld, and cblx), or deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl-coa epimerase. a comprehensive diagnostic approach involves investigations of metabolites with tandem mass spectrometry, organic ...

the elm leaf beetle xanthogaleruca luteola müller (coleoptera: chrysomelidae), is a serious pest of elm (ulmus spp.) throughout iran. in the present study, lethal and sublethal effects of neem, achook® containing 0.03% azadirachtin, were assessed on mortality, growth, larval weight and feeding deterrence as well as enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities of third instar larvae of the elm leaf be...

Most surgeons seem to favour the former method. Even when the erisophake is used instead of forceps, the technique of zonulolotomy and delivery of the lens remains essentially the same. Since the introduction of A.C.T., however, mechanical zonulolotomy has been replaced by enzymatic zonulolysis and the extraction of the lens by seizing it at the 12 o'clock position is being increasingly practis...

Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is usually caused by a deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM), a defect in the transport or synthesis of its cofactor, adenosyl-cobalamin (cblA, cblB, cblC, cblF, cblD, and cblX), or deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase. A comprehensive diagnostic approach involves investigations of metabolites with tandem mass spectrometry, organic ...

a long-term study was conducted between 1985 and 2003 on rehabilitation trials at sishen ironore mine, south africa, to identify grass species that would survive in the artificial growth medium appliedto the sites, and to determine the most suitable medium for sustainable vegetation growth. vegetationestablishment was tested at slopes of 18° and 34° and with five different cover materials. afte...

the efficiency of oxidation processes, enzymatic treatment, and combined enzymatic/chemical sequences on color remediation of cmp pulp mill effluent was investigated. two kinds of fungal enzymes; laccase (ec: 1.10.3.2) from terametes versicolor and versatile peroxidase (ec: 1.11.1.7) from bjerkandera adusta were chosen and applied. also, the effect of external mediator on the enzyme based degra...
