The high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway in yeast serves as a prototype signalling system for eukaryotes. We used an unprecedented amount of data to parameterise 192 models capturing different hypotheses about molecular mechanisms underlying osmo-adaptation and selected a best approximating model. This model implied novel mechanisms regulating osmo-adaptation in yeast. The model suggested tha...

The effect of osmotic and convective drying treatments on main physicochemical properties frozen sliced red peppers was investigated. Sliced were dried partially using either dehydration or hot air before freezing in an blast freezer at constant velocity (2 m/s) temperature (-25°C). center osmo- dehydrofrozen reached -25°C about 105 min, while it took 270 min for control samples. Frozen samples...

In software engineering, maintenance is the process of correction, updating, and improvement products after handed over to customer. Through offshore outsourcing (OSMO) clients can get advantages like reduce cost, save time, improve quality. most cases, OSMO vendor generates considerable revenue. However, selection an appropriate proposal among multiple one critical problems for vendors. The pu...

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important tropical fruits with inimitable taste, unique flavor, fragrance, and therapeutic traits. It national fruit Pakistan commonly called king fruits, however, it very challenging to protect keeping quality fruit. To enhance shelf life overcome microbial count, edible biodegradable (aloe-pectin) coatings were applied on minimally processed (osm...

Using West German panel data constructed from the 1988 and 1994/95 wave of the DJI Familiensurvey, we analyze the stability and determinants of individuals’ total desired fertility. We find considerable variation of total desired fertility across respondents and across interviews. In particular, up to 50% of individuals report a different total desired fertility across survey waves. Multivariat...

The propagation of information through signaling cascades spans a wide range of time scales, including the rapid ligand-receptor interaction and the much slower response of downstream gene expression. To determine which dynamic range dominates a response, we used periodic stimuli to measure the frequency dependence of signal transduction in the osmo-adaptation pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisia...

This work focuses on the maize root as a one-membrane osmo-diffusive converter of free energy. Energy expenditures of the root on water transport by radial route as well as on xylem water uptake, occurring according to the principle of osmotic root pressure, are analyzed. The so-called practical method of osmo-diffusive energy conversion (Kargol 1990, 1993) and experimental data taken from the ...

response surface methodology (rsm) was employed to determine the optimum processing conditions leading to maximum anthocyanin, phenolic compound and antioxidant activity during osmo-ultrasonic pretreatment followed by hot air drying of black cherry fruit. temperature (40, 50 and 60ºc), sucrose content (40, 50 and 60% w/v) and ultrasound frequency (0, 65 and 130 khz) were the factors investigate...
