Glutaredoxin-like proteins form a new subgroup of glutaredoxins with a serine replacing the second cysteine in the CxxC-motif of the active site. Yeast Grx5 is the only glutaredoxin-like protein studied biochemically so far. We identified and cloned three genes encoding glutaredoxin-like proteins from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf Glp1, Pf Glp2, and Pf Glp3) containing a conser...

This paper describes the corpus of recordings of children’s speech which was collected as part of the EU FP5 PF STAR project. The corpus contains more than 60 hours of speech, including read and imitated native-language speech in British English, German and Swedish, read and imitated non-nativelanguage English speech from German, Italian and Swedish children, and native-language spontaneous and...

The PF algorithm, discussed in HD92], computes changes to a materialized view when the underlying base relations change. The algorithm considers each changed base relation in turn and propagates the changes to the derived relations. We propose ways of making this propagation process eecient by exploiting stratiication Ull89] of programs and by storing and reusing some of the information derived...

Xylanase A (Pf Xyn10A), in common with several other Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa polysaccharidases, consists of a Type II cellulose-binding domain (CBD), a catalytic domain (Pf Xyn10A(CD)) and an internal domain that exhibits homology to Type X CBDs. The Type X CBD of Pf Xyn10A, expressed as a discrete entity (CBD(X)) or fused to the catalytic domain (Pf Xyn10A'), bound to amorphou...

We compare a user-de®ned passage feedback (pf) system to a document feedback (df) system. Df employed the adaptive linear model for retrieval, while pf used weighted query expansion based on positive and negative feedback. Twenty-four searchers performed the same six tasks in varying search and systemorder per TREC-8 guidelines. We hypothesized that pf, which featured interactive query expansio...

Background: Endometriosis is known as one of the most common disease in women of reproductive age. Due to importance role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in neo-vascularization for the implantation of endometrial cell and different reported results for VEGF level in the serum and peritoneal fluid (PF) in endometriosis patients, this study was designed to determine the serum and PF ...
