This paper describes the isolation, purification and properties of a specific inhibitor of calcium-activated neutral proteinase (CaANP) in rabbit skeletal muscle. The inhibitor was a thermo-acid-stable protein degraded by trypsin and chymotrypsin and seemed to contain two polypeptide chains with molecular weights of 70 000 and 13 000 daltons. Maximal inhibitory activity was obtained at neutral ...

Though in most data warehousing applications no relevance is given to the time when events are recorded, some domains call for a different behavior. In particular, whenever late registrations of events take place, and particularly when the events registered are subject to further updates, the traditional design solutions fail in preserving accountability and query consistency. In this paper we ...

The practice of "hanging in chains" or gibbeting had been part of the punitive repertoire of the English and Welsh judicial system for centuries before the 1751-52 Murder Act specified it as one of two mandatory post-mortem punishments for murderers. The practice was not abolished until 1834. This article considers the technical and design features of the gibbet cage, through an exhaustive surv...

The article highlights the theoretical and applied aspects of health philosophy phenomenon in traditional culture mountainous regions Ukrainian Carpathians. Based on elaboration philosophical, psychologico-pedagogical literature, study archival materials, ethnographic research, students’ questionnaire, authors reveal cultivating healthy lifestyles through prism ethno-cultural traditions, types ...

Impressive enhancements of the storage modulus have been documented when low volume fractions of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are added to a Newtonian solvent for obtaining dilute suspensions. The intrinsic bending dynamics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been proposed to explain such elasticity. CNTs contain topological defects inducing naturally bent structures in absence of external f...

an ideal orthodontic force system should exert continuous light force. thus, many efforts have been made to improve the memory characteristics of elastomeric chains. the aim of this study was to compare elastomeric chains (ecs) claimed by their manufacturers to offer high memory with traditional ones according to their force-extension diagrams.in this in-vitro study, ecs were divided into six g...

We subjected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from over 200 patients with various neurological diseases to two-dimensional electrophoresis. The series included non-inflammatory diseases such as epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and polyneuropathy; and inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and neurolues. In the resulting electrophoretograms we considered mainly the region of C...
