The ultimate goal of this research is to construct a new direct CO2 fixation system using photosystems in living algae. Here, we report light-driven formate production from CO2 by using cyanobacterial photosystem I (PS I). Formate, a chemical hydrogen carrier and important industrial material, can be produced from CO2 by using the reducing power and the catalytic function of formate dehydrogena...

This study aimed to prepare robust immobilized formate dehydrogenase (FDH) preparations which can be used as effective biocatalysts along with functional oxidoreductases, in which in situ regeneration of NADH is required. For this purpose, Candida methylica FDH was covalently immobilized onto Immobead 150 support (FDHI150), Immobead 150 support modified with ethylenediamine and then activated w...

Background: Dual-level stochastic programming is a technique that allows modelling uncertainty at two different levels, even when the time granularity differs vastly between levels. In this paper we study problem of determining optimal fleet size and mix vessels performing maintenance operations offshore wind farms. strategic planning spans decades, while operational performed on day-to-day bas...

The following study investigated a rare case of adult immersion in second language context without prior exposure to the language. It aimed investigate whether Length Residence (LoR) acts as strong index L2 speech performance when coupled with daily and interaction first speakers. Twenty-two females from Africa Asia who worked Foreign Domestic Helpers (FDH) Omani homes varying LoRs performed an...

Familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH-T4) and hypertriiodothyroninemia (FDH-T3) are dominantly inherited syndromes characterized by a high concentration of thyroid hormone in the blood stream. The syndromes do not cause disease, because the concentration of free hormone is normal, but affected individuals are at risk of erroneous treatment. FDH-T4 is the most common cause of euthyroid ...

The hash-and-sign RSA signature is one of the most elegant and well known signatures schemes, extensively used in a wide variety of cryptographic applications. Unfortunately, the only existing analysis of this popular signature scheme is in the random oracle model, where the resulting idealized signature is known as the RSA Full Domain Hash signature scheme (RSA-FDH). In fact, prior work has sh...

The gene of NAD`-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Mycobacterium vaccae N10 was cloned into Escherichia coli by hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled DNA probes, which were prepared by amplification of the chromosomal DNA from the bacterium by the polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primers. The primers were designed on the basis of the most conserved parts of known sequences of...

Biobutanol is a sustainable green biofuel that can substitute for gasoline. Carbon flux has been redistributed in Clostridium tyrobutyricum via metabolic cell engineering to produce biobutanol. However, the lack of reducing power hampered the further improvement of butanol production. The objective of this study was to improve butanol production by rebalancing redox. Firstly, a metabolically-en...

We link the FDR treatment of ultraviolet (UV) divergences to dimensional regularization up to two loops in QCD. This allows us to derive the one-loop and two-loop coupling constant and quark mass shifts necessary to translate infrared finite quantities computed in FDR to the MS renormalization scheme. As a by-product of our analysis, we solve a problem analogous to the historical difficulties o...
