Native tissue plasminogen activator (ntPA) has a variable glycosylation site on its kringle-2 domain. We have examined the effects of kringle glycosylation on functional properties by studying the simplified tPA molecule, tPA-6. tPA-6 is composed of kringle-2 and the serine protease domains and, like ntPA, cells expressing tPA-6 process it into two glycoforms: the monoglycosylated tPA-6-primary...

SiCp reinforced aluminium matrix composites (AMCs), which are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and electronic packaging fields along with others, usually prepared by ex situ techniques. However, interfacial contamination poor wettability of techniques make further improvement their comprehensive performance difficult. In this paper, AMCs theoretical volume fractions 15%, 20%, 30% powde...

Identification of genes for yield components, plant height (PH), and yield-related physiological traits and tightly linked molecular markers is of great importance in marker-assisted selection (MAS) in wheat breeding. In the present study, 246 F8 RILs derived from the cross of Zhou 8425B/Chinese Spring were genotyped using the high-density Illumina iSelect 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SN...

A novel agarofuran sesquiterpene polyol ester, 1beta,2beta,6alpha,15beta-tetracetoxy-8 beta,9alpha-dibenzoyloxy-beta- dihydroagarofuran (celahin D) (1), two known analogues of 1,1beta-acetoxy-8beta,9alpha-dibenzoyloxy-4al pha6alpha-dihydroxy-2beta(alphamethylbutanoyloxy)-beta-++ +dihydroagarofuran (2) and beta-acetoxy-8beta,9alpha-dibenzoyloxy-6alpha-hy droxy-2beta(alpha -methylbutanoyloxy)-bet...

A field enhanced flow reactor using bias assisted photocatalysis was developed for bacterial disinfection in lab-synthesized and natural waters. The reactor provided complete inactivation of contaminated waters with flow rates of 50mL/min. The device consisted of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays, with an externally applied bias of up to 6V. Light intensity, applied voltage, background electroly...

In the present study, the influence of annealing temperature on mechanical properties and the microstructure of a high manganese austenitic steel (Fe-30Mn-4Al-4Si-0.5C) was investigated. X-ray diffractometry, optical and scanning electron microscopy, hardness and tensile tests were used to analyze the relationship between mechanical properties and microstructure after annealing process. The res...

Computer-based attempts to construct lower bounds for small Ramsey numbers are discussed. A systematic review of cyclic Ramsey graphs is attempted. Many known lower bounds are reproduced. Several new bounds are reported. ar X iv :1 50 5. 07 18 6v 5 [ cs .D M ] 1 M ar 2 01 6
