Absorbance changes of C-550 and cytochrome b(559), and fluorescence-yield changes were measured during irradiation of chloroplasts at -196 degrees . The photo-reduction of C-550 proceeded more rapidly than the photo-oxidation of cytochrome b(559), and the fluorescence-yield change had similar kinetics to the cytochrome b(559) change. The fluorescence yield of chloroplasts exposed to a 16-musec ...

Bryostatin 1, a macrocyclic lactone isolated from a marine bryozoan, has significant antineoplastic activity against the murine cell line P388. Like phorbol esters, bryostatin 1 is capable of binding to and activating protein kinase C, but these two compounds differ in the ability of bryostatin 1 to act as a tumor promoter. We have investigated whether bryostatin 1 can modulate the differentiat...

We report here the draft genome sequence of the biocontrol strain Pantoea agglomerans P10c, composed of a draft chromosome and two plasmids: the 559-kb large Pantoea plasmid 1 (pPag3) and a 182-kb plasmid (pPag1). A genomic island containing pantocin A biosynthesis genes was identified.

We address highly dynamic distributed systems modeled by time-varying graphs (TVGs). We interest in proof of impossibility results that often use informal arguments about convergence. First, we provide a distance among TVGs to define correctly the convergence of TVG sequences. Next, we provide a general framework that formally proves the convergence of the sequence of executions of any determin...

One of the most interesting scientific challenges nowadays deals with the analysis and the understanding of complex networks’ dynamics and how their processes lead to emergence according to the interactions among their components. In this paper we approach the definition of new methodologies for the visualization and the exploration of the dynamics at play in real dynamic social networks. We pr...
