This study aimed to investigate how the production process of metal impregnated biochars (MIBs) affects their selectivity in simultaneous adsorption organic matter and dissolved phosphorus from aqueous phase. MIBs were produced via a two-step pyrolysis procedure including impregnation oxides structure softwood-derived biochars, resulting copper-impregnated biochar (Cu-MIB) iron-impregnated (Fe-...

Many camphor-degrading bacteria that are able to transform 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) have been identified. Three of these strains have been examined in detail. Rhodococcus ruber T1 metabolizes camphor through 6-hydroxycamphor but converts 2-MIB to 3-hydroxy-2-MIB. Pseudomonas putida G1, which metabolizes camphor through 5-hydroxycamphor, converts MIB primarily to 6-hydroxy-2-MIB. Rhodococcus w...

Background: Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. The important factors in predicting survival are the extent of disease, proliferation index of the tumor cells, histopathologic class and the age at diagnosis. The percentage of Ki-67 positive cells reflects the proliferation  of the cells and is one of the critical factors which determine the growth of the tumor....

BACKGROUND Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved developmental pathway. Zebrafish mind bomb (mib) mutants carry mutations on mib gene, which encodes a RING E3 ligase required for Notch activation via Delta/Jagged ubiquitylation and internalization. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We examined the mib mutants for defects in pancreas development using in situ hybridization and GFP expres...

1. Status of this Memo This memo defines the second version of the Management Information Base (MIB-II) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, together with its companion memos which describe the structure of management information (RFC 1155) along with the network management protocol (RFC 1157) for TCP/IP-based internets, these documents provide a s...

mib(nn2002), found from an allele screen, showed early segmentation defect and severe cell death phenotypes, which are different from previously known mib mutants. Despite distinct morphological phenotypes, the typical mib molecular phenotypes: her4 down-regulation, neurogenic phenotype and cold sensitive dlc expression pattern, still remained. The linkage analysis also indicated that mib(nn200...

Signaling by the Notch ligands Delta (Dl) and Serrate (Ser) regulates a wide variety of essential cell-fate decisions during animal development. Two distinct E3 ubiquitin ligases, Neuralized (Neur) and Mind bomb (Mib), have been shown to regulate Dl signaling in Drosophila melanogaster and Danio rerio, respectively. While the neur and mib genes are evolutionarily conserved, their respective rol...

Methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin are cyanobacterial metabolites that occur at nanograms per liter levels in surface water supplies and are responsible for many taste and odor complaints about the aesthetics of drinking water. This study evaluated three water supply reservoirs with bottom-release (hypolimnion) outlet structures in Arizona. MIB concentrations were always higher than geosmin con...

The IETF Script MIB deenes a standard MIB interface for the delegation of management functions based on the Internet management framework. A management script is a set of instructions that are executed by a language speciic runtime system. The Script MIB Ex-tensibility protocol SMX deened in this memo allows to separate language speciic runtime systems from an language independent MIB implement...
