Among the 30 strains of moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from the salty effluents of textile industries around Qom city in central Iran, a Gram-negative rod shape bacterium designated as strain IP8 showed a remarkable ability in decolorizing of azo dyes over wide ranges of pH (7-11) and temperature (25-45 ºC), in presence of NaCl and Na2SO...

among the 30 strains of moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from the salty effluents of textile industries around qom city in central iran, a gram-negative rod shape bacterium designated as strain ip8 showed a remarkable ability in decolorizing of azo dyes over wide ranges of ph (7-11) and temperature (25-45 ºc), in presence of nacl and na2so4 (0.5-1.5 m) under anaerobic and aerobic conditi...

mine: (1) if diverse provenances of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) respond similarly in growth, phenology and physiology to an approximately 300 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, and (2) the influence of photoperiod on both provenance and provenance × CO2 interaction effects. Seedlings from provenances that originated from the Yukon (63°34′ N, 135°55′ W), British Colum...

Studies reported from this laboratory have demonstrated that O-glycosidic glycoproteins of salivary, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal origin are acylated by fatty acyltransferase residing in Golgi and microsome-enriched fraction (Slomiany, A., Liau, Y.H., Takagi, A., Laszewicz, W., and Slomiany, B.L. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 13304-13308). Here we report on the successful purification of this e...

OBJECTIVE The Trail Making Test (TMT) has its limitations when applied to Eastern cultures due to its reliance on the alphabet. We looked for an alternative tool that is reliable and distinguishable like the TMT and devised the Trail Making Test Black & White (TMT-B&W) as a new variant. This study identifies the applicability of the TMT-B&W as a useful neuropsychological tool and determines whe...

A comparative study of the ligand-binding properties of human serum albumin was performed by the technique of affinity chromatography with the protein attached to immobilized Cibacron Blue F3GA (Blue Sepharose), or covalently immobilized on Sepharose. The binding strength of octanoate, decanoate and dodecanoate is much weaker when human serum albumin is attached to immobilized Cibacron Blue, in...

We study the VLSI-related problem of embedding .graphs in books. A book embedding of a graph G=(V,E) consists.of two parts; namely, (1) an ordering of ~ along the spine of the book, and (2) an assignment of each ee E to a page of the book, so that edges assigned to the same page do nOt int&sect. In devising an.embedding, one seeks to minimize the number of pages used. A black/white (blw) graph ...

We conducted a greenhouse experiment to determine: (1) if diverse provenances of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) respond similarly in growth, phenology and physiology to an approximately 300 ppm increase in atmospheric CO(2) concentration, and (2) the influence of photoperiod on both provenance and provenance x CO(2) interaction effects. Seedlings from provenances that originated fr...

The activity of ATP as a fast neurotransmitter is mediated by the P2X family of ligand-gated ion channels. P2X receptor subtypes are subject to functional modulation by a diverse set of factors, including pH, divalent cations, and temperature. The human P2X(3) (hP2X(3)) receptor subunit is expressed primarily in sensory ganglia where it exists as either a homomultimeric receptor or, in combinat...
