Understanding enzyme stability and activity in extremophilic organisms is of great biotechnological interest, but many questions are still unsolved. Using 2-deoxy-D-ribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) as model enzyme, we have evaluated structural and functional characteristics of different orthologs from psychrophilic, mesophilic and hyperthermophilic organisms. We present the first crystal stru...

The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the basic understanding of power quality in relation to the distributed generation. Due to considerable overlap between two technologies, disturbances affecting the power quality, which are mainly cause by the addition of Distributed Generation (DG) on the existing power system network. Injection of the DG into an electric power grid can affect the v...

The time-tested Indigenous fishing knowledge (IFK) of Fiji and the Pacific Islands is seriously threatened due to commercialization fishing, breakdown traditional communal leadership oral transmission systems, modern education, movement younger generations urban areas for work and/or study. Consequently, IFK, which has been orally transmitted generations, either lost, not learned by current gen...
