Chlorite dismutases (Clds) are heme b containing oxidoreductases that convert chlorite to chloride and molecular oxygen. In order to elucidate the role of conserved heme cavity residues in the catalysis of this reaction comprehensive mutational and biochemical analyses of Cld from "Candidatus Nitrospira defluvii" (NdCld) were performed. Particularly, point mutations of the cavity-forming residu...

Governments, employers, and companies provide financial windfalls to individuals with some regularity. Recent evidence suggests that the framing (or description) of these windfalls can dramatically influence their consumption. In particular, income described as a positive departure from the status quo (e.g., as a bonus) is more readily spent than objectively identical income described as a retu...

Proximal junctional kyphosis is an increasingly recognized complication following long-segment posterior spinal fusion for adult spinal deformity. The authors describe a novel technique for interspinous ligament reinforcement at the proximal adjacent levels using a cadaveric semitendinosus tendon graft secured with an Ethibond No. 2 double filament (Ethicon, Somerville, New Jersey) via the Krac...

Article history: Received 17 April 2012 Received in revised form 11 August 2013 Accepted 12 August 2013 Available online 27 August 2013 By incorporating a keeping-up-with-the-Joneses preference into the Redux model, this paper sketches the implications of consumption externalities for the short-run and long-run equilibria. We show that the size of the consumption externality plays a crucial rol...

The development of the permanent income/life cycle consumption hypothesis was a key blow to Keynesian and Kaleckian economics, and, according to George Akerlof, it “set the agenda” for modern neoclassical macroeconomics. This paper focuses on the relationship of housing wealth to neoclassical consumption theory, and in particular, the degree to which homes can be treated collectively with other...

8 Governments, employers, and companies provide financial windfalls to individuals with some regularity. 9 Recent evidence suggests the framing (or description) of these windfalls can dramatically influence their 10 consumption. In particular, objectively identical income described as a positive departure from the status 11 quo (e.g., as a bonus) is more readily spent than income described as a...

RCK domains control activity of a variety of K(+) channels and transporters through binding of cytoplasmic ligands. To gain insight toward mechanisms of RCK domain activation, we solved the structure of the RCK domain from the Ca(2+)-gated K(+) channel, MthK, bound with Ba(2+), at 3.1 Å resolution. The Ba(2+)-bound RCK domain was assembled as an octameric gating ring, as observed in structures ...

The energy management strategy is the key to increasing efficiency index (EEI) and controlling buildings' carbon emissions. This article discusses policy at Siliwangi University based on four main components of green campus: profile electricity load, consumption, rate number vehicles, vehicle activity in campus environment. We propose scenarios meet EEI emissions standards 2025. analysis emissi...
