Three lipase-producing thermophilic bacteria (AK-P1, AK-P2, and AK-P3) were isolated from the Taptapani hot water spring in Orissa, India. The crude extra cellular lipases from cell-free culture supernatant were reacted in an olive oil mixture, and their lipolytic activities were compared. Identification of the bacteria was carried out using biochemical tests, 16SrRNA sequencing and sequences s...

We reconsider topological string realization of SU(N) Chern-Simons theory on S. At large N , for every knot K in S, we obtain a polynomial AK(x, p;Q) in two variables x, p depending on the t’Hooft coupling parameter Q = es . Its vanishing locus is the quantum corrected moduli space of a special Lagrangian brane LK , associated to K, probing the large N dual geometry, the resolved conifold. Usin...

Biosynthesis of aspartate (Asp)-derived amino acids lysine (Lys), methionine (Met), threonine (Thr), and isoleucine involves monofunctional Asp kinases (AKs) and dual-functional Asp kinase-homoserine dehydrogenases (AK-HSDHs). Four-week-old loss-of-function Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants in the AK-HSDH2 gene had increased amounts of Asp and Asp-derived amino acids, especially Thr, i...

Adenylate kinase (AK) uses one each of Mg-complexed and free adenylates as substrates in both directions of its reaction. It is very active in the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS), but is absent from the mitochondrial matrix where low [ADP] upon intensive respiration limits the respiratory rate. AK activity in the IMS is linked to ATP/ADP exchange across the inner mitochondrial membrane ...

The Newton-Lagrange interpolation is a well-known problem in elementary calculus. Recall basic facts concerning this problem [6], [2]. Let Ak, k = 0, 1, 2, . . . and ak, k = 0, 1, 2, . . . be two arbitrary sequences of complex numbers (we assume that all ak are distinct ak 6= aj if k 6= j. By interpolation polynomial we mean a n-degree polynomial Pn(z) whose values at points a0, a1, . . . , an ...

Serum adenylate kinase (AK) activity was measured in cerebral vascular diseases and the AK isoenzyme pattern was studied in the patients suffering from cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, and polymyositis. There was a significant difference in AK activity between the control subjects and patients with acute cerebral infarction. Serum AK activity showed a peak on the...

In the present paper we study some geometric objects and constructions related to groupoids of matrix subalgebras in a fixed matrix algebra. 1. The definition of groupoids In this paper we will freely use the notation from [3]. First recall some definitions and constructions [3]. 1.1. Groupoids Gk, l. Let Mkl(C) be the complex matrix algebra. Unital ∗-subalgebras isomorphic Mk(C) in some unital...

BACKGROUND Actinic keratoses (AK) represent cutaneous carcinoma in situ and have previously been evaluated by reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). Treatment of AK with imiquimod (IMIQ) 5% cream has been shown to 'highlight' subclinical lesions. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test the applicability of RCM for noninvasive monitoring of actinic field cancerization and detection of subc...
