Expression of the PSR132 protein from Dianthus caryophyllus (carnation, clover pink) is induced in response to ethylene production associated with petal senescence, and thus the protein is named petal death protein (PDP). Recent work has established that despite the annotation of PDP in sequence databases as carboxyphosphoenolpyruvate mutase, the enzyme is actually a C-C bond cleaving lyase exh...

By inserting the CB1 paratope-derived peptide (PDP) from the anti-CD4 13B8.2 antibody binding pocket into each of the three exposed loops of the protein inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (PIN), we have combined the anti-CD4 specificity of the selected PDP with the stability, ease of expression/purification, and the known molecular architecture of the phylogenetically well-conserved PI...

We describe how to control the cumulative use of distributed grid resources by using coordination aware policy decision points (coordinated PDPs) and an SQL database to hold “coordination” data. When access to a resource is granted, obligations in the security policy ensure that the coordination database is updated. The coordination database is a normal grid service, thereby providing distribut...

This paper illustrates the idea of parallel distributed parsing (PDP), which allows us to integrate lexical and sublexical analyses. PDP is proposed for providing a new model of efficient, information-rich parses that can remedy the data sparseness problem.

Fiber type specificity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) phosphatase (PDP) was determined in fed (CON) and 48-h food-deprived (FD) rats. PDP activity and isoform protein content were determined in soleus (slow-twitch oxidative), red gastrocnemius (RG; fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic), and white gastrocnemius (WG; fast-twitch glycolytic) muscles. When normalized for mitochondrial volume, there wa...

The pupose of this paper is modeling of Partial Digest Problem (PDP) as a mathematical programming problem. In this paper we present a new viewpoint of PDP. We formulate the PDP as a continuous optimization problem and develope a method to solve this problem. Finally we constract a linear programming model for the problem with an additional constraint. This later model can be solved by the simp...

With the widespread use of cloud computing and cloud storage, how to ensure the authenticity of data in remote storage has become a severe problem. Provable data possession (PDP) and Proof of Retrievability (POR) are techniques for a client to verify whether an untrusted server possesses the original data entirely, and many PDP and POR schemes have been proposed to resolve above issue so far. B...

This article presents an analysis of case study data from a project evaluating Personal Development Planning (PDP) at a large post-1992 university in England. The study was undertaken as part of a strategy of encouraging schools to build on existing experience while at the same time ensuring consistency with new national guidelines for the implementation of PDP across the whole sector. The aim ...

Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare disorder characterized by pachydermia, digital clubbing, periostitis, and an excess of affected males. It is the primary form of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) and there are some rare associations of PDP with other disorders. Here we describe a patient with Crohn's disease associated with PDP. A 26-year-old man, who was a known case of Crohn's disease,...

A shift in consumer electronics from analog to digital technology is underway, and the television industry is transitioning from CRT to flat panel display (FPD) technology. With the increasing popularity of FPDs, the market for plasma display panels (PDPs) has also grown rapidly. The FPD market is divided according to screen size: sizes of 30 inches and smaller use liquid crystal display (LCD) ...
