Glycosidically bound compounds have been identified in a vast number of fruits. They have been extensively studied in the cases of grapes and wines (Williams et al., 1980, 1982 a, b; Strauss et al., 1988; Gunata et al., 1990 a, b; Roscher, Winterhalter, 1993; Baumes et al., 1994; Sefton et al., 1994) and for other fruits such as mangoes (Adedeji et al., 1992), peaches (Krammer et al., 1991; Sum...

BACKGROUND Genetic variants of a locus within the chromosome 9p21.3 region are consistently associated with coronary artery disease and coronary artery calcification (CAC). The aim of this study was to examine whether a 9p21.3 common variant interacts with socioeconomic status (SES) to influence CAC and incident coronary events in a population-based cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS 9p21.3 single n...

(A) We study in this paper some connections between the Fra¨ıssé theory of amalgamation classes and ultrahomogeneous structures, Ramsey theory, and topological dynamics of automorphism groups of countable structures. A prime concern of topological dynamics is the study of continuous actions of (Haus-dorff) topological groups G on (Hausdorff) compact spaces X. These are usually referred to as (c...

The multiplicative structure of the cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles on a smooth projective curve is computed. INTRODUCTION Let C be a complete smooth curve of genus g ≥ 2 over the field of complex numbers C. Consider the moduli space N of stable rank 2 vector bundles on C with fixed determinant L of odd degree 2k− 1 . Then N is a smooth projective variety of dimensi...

Coxeter groups are Higson-Roe amenable, i.e. they admit amenable actions on compact spaces. Moreover, they have finite asymptotic dimension. This answers affirmatively a question from [H-R]. 1. Higson-Roe amenability. An action of a discrete group G on a compact space X is topologically amenable [AD-R] if there is a sequence of continuous maps b n : X → P (G) to the space of probability measure...

We investigate the role and behaviour of dust grains in C-type MHD shock waves in weakly ionized, dense molecular clouds. The structure of C-type shocks in molecular clouds are largely determined by the coupling of the charged species and the magnetic fields in the pre-shock gas. In weakly ionized clouds, charged dust grains enhance the energy and momentum transfer between the magnetic field an...

BACKGROUND High enzyme loading is a major economic bottleneck for the commercial processing of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass to produce fermentable sugars. Optimizing the enzyme cocktail for specific types of pretreated biomass allows for a significant reduction in enzyme loading without sacrificing hydrolysis yield. This is especially important for alkaline pretreatments such as Ammonia f...
