Properties of the cysteine-less Pho84 phosphate transporter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The derepressible Pho84 high-affinity phosphate permease of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, encoded by the PHO84 gene belongs to a family of phosphate:proton symporters (PHS). The protein contains 12 native cysteine residues of which five are predicted to be located in putative transmembrane regions III, VI, VIII, IX, and X, and the remaining seven in the hydrophilic domains of the protein. Here we repo

Superpixel based road user tracker

Abstract A superpixel based tracker is tested on the two Tracking sequences from PDTV [7], Minsk and Sherbrooke. It detects all vehicles from the Minsk dataset although a few of them are splitted. The pedestrians are too small and thus all missed. The results for the Sherbrooke are not as good, especially in the areas far way from the camera where the intersection s viewed at a low angle. Also the

Fantasy as a driving force : relations between fantasy and motivation in children

The relationship between children’s fantasy involvement and motivational style atschool was investigated. Participants were 95 Swedish children in third to fifth grade (9–11 years). Fantasy involvement was measured with the Children’s Fantasy Inventory and motivation in the classroom was measured with the Goal Orientation Scales. Results revealed that being highly imaginative was related to higher

Human Trafficking and Forced Labour : A Criticism of the International Labour Organisation

PurposeDuring the last ten years, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and some other international organizations, have increasingly addressed human trafficking from a “forced labour” perspective. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the terminology in relation to human trafficking and forced labour, to highlight the links between them, and to provide a critique of the ILO approach. It

ST segment depression on 24-hour electrocardiography predicts incident atrial fibrillation in two population-based cohorts

Aims: ST-depression at 24hECG has not been studied in relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) risk. We aimed to determine whether ST-depression at 24hECG was associated with incident AF in two Swedish population-based cohorts - a sub-cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (MDCS), and the cohort 'Men born in 1914', and to determine whether 24hECG could be used to predict AF development.Methods and

Spaces of identity in the city : Embracing the contradictions

Several studies demonstrate the value of residents’ voices in the place branding process, however, relatively little is known about how residents experience participating in place branding campaigns and the consequences for place identity. This chapter explores the question of whether participatory branding initiatives could potentially lead to more inclusionary representational spaces in the city

Dose integration and dose rate characteristics of a NiPAM polymer gel MRI dosimeter system

The normoxic polymer gel dosimeter based on N-isopropyl acrylamide (NiPAM) is a promising full 3D-dosimeter with high spatial resolution and near tissue equivalency. NiPAM gel samples were irradiated to different doses using a linear accelerator. The absorbed dose was evaluated using MRI and statistical significance of the analysed data was calculated. The analysis was carried out using an in-hous

Cross section and transverse single-spin asymmetry of muons from open heavy-flavor decays in polarized p+p collisions at s =200 GeV

The cross section and transverse single-spin asymmetries of μ- and μ+ from open heavy-flavor decays in polarized p+p collisions at s=200 GeV were measured by the PHENIX experiment during 2012 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Because heavy-flavor production is dominated by gluon-gluon interactions at s=200 GeV, these measurements offer a unique opportunity to obtain information on the triglu

Distinct roles of light-activated channels TRP and TRPL in photoreceptors of periplaneta americana

Electrophysiological studies in Drosophila melanogaster and Periplaneta americana have found that the receptor current in their microvillar photoreceptors is generated by two light-activated cationic channels, TRP (transient receptor potential) and TRPL (TRP-like), each having distinct properties. However, the relative contribution of the two channel types to sensory information coding by photorec

Can a teachable agent influence how students respond to competition in an educational game?

Learning in educational games is often associated with some form of competition. We investigated how students responded to winning or losing in an educational math game, with respect to playing with or without a Teachable Agent (TA). Students could choose between game modes in which the TA took a more passive or active role, or let the TA play a game entirely on its own. Based on the data logs fro

Implicit les applied to isothermal swirling coaxial jets

This work is devoted to the analysis of the interaction of two coaxial jet with swirling flow using Large Eddy Simulation methodology to reproduce the case of Roback and Johnson. The eight - flat - vanes in the annular nozzle are the precursor of the swirling annular jet with high swirl number. An implicit LES model was used, this model uses mesh size as filter width so no sub-grid model is requir

Structural transformation and agrarian change in India

The landlord and his emaciated labourer are symbolic of Indian agriculture. However, this relationship is less assured as large landowners have fallen from their superior position. This volume explores how this emblematic pair is becoming a thing of the past. Structural Transformation and Agrarian Change in India investigates whether family labour farms are gaining prominence as a consequence of t
