To investigate the relative turnover of esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids in diacylglycerophospholipids and plasmalogens in isolated cardiac myocytes, we characterized the phospholipid composition and distribution of radiolabel in different phospholipid classes and in individual molecular species of diradyl choline (CGP) and ethanolamine (EGP) glycerophospholipids after incubation of isola...

The effects of the inorganic medium components, the initial pH, the incubation temperature, the oxygen supply, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, and chloramphenicol on the synthesis of cyanophycin (CGP) by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain ADP1 were studied in a mineral salts medium containing sodium glutamate and ammonium sulfate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Variation of all thes...

A triphasic process was developed for the production of beta dipeptides from cyanophycin (CGP) on a large scale. Phase I comprises an optimized acid extraction method for technical isolation of CGP from biomass. It yielded highly purified CGP consisting of aspartate, arginine, and a little lysine. Phase II comprises the fermentative production of an extracellular CGPase (CphE(al)) from Pseudomo...

Additively manufactured polymer tools are evaluated for use in metal forming as prototype and the attempt to make sheet more attractive small production volumes. Printing materials, strategies accuracies presented before tested V-bending groove pressing of 1 mm aluminum sheets. The shows that change surface topography during until a steady state is reached at around five strokes. geometrical ac...

Food supplementation with the conditionally essential amino acid arginine (Arg) has been shown to have nutritional benefits. Degradation of cyanophycin (CGP), a peptide polymer used for nitrogen storage by cyanobacteria, requires cyanophycinase (CGPase) and results in the release of β-aspartic acid (Asp)-Arg dipeptides. The simultaneous production of CGP and CGPase in plants could be a convenie...

Press-induced long-period fiber gratings exhibiting strong core-to-cladding mode coupling were formed in photonic crystal fiber. Only one resonance peak was observed over a 600 nm spectral range and the resonant wavelength was tuned over the whole range by tilting a groove plate before pressing the fiber. The resonant wavelength decreased with increasing periodicity of the grating, which was op...

Shocks can pressure families into negative coping strategies with significant drawbacks for children's lives and development, particularly children living in disadvantaged households who are at greater risk of falling a poverty trap. This paper investigates if unconditional Cash Transfers be effective protecting against unexpected life events. Using two waves data, we found that the Lesotho Chi...

Movement selection depends on the outcome of prior behavior. Posterior cingulate cortex (CGp) is strongly connected with both limbic and oculomotor circuitry, and CGp neurons respond following saccades, suggesting a role in signaling the motivational outcome of gaze shifts. To test this hypothesis, single CGp neurons were studied in monkeys while they shifted gaze to visual targets for liquid r...

We study the ability of a quantum channel to generate coherence when it applies incoherent states. define measure generating power (CGP) for generic be average generated by acting on uniform ensemble states based skew information-based measure. present explicitly analytical formulae CGP any arbitrary finite dimensional unitary channels. derive mean value over groups and investigate typicality n...
