Protecting OpenFlow using Intel SGX

OpenFlow flow tables in Open vSwitch contain valuable information about installed flows, priorities, packet actions and routing policies. Their importance is emphasised when collocated tenants compete for the limited entries available to install flow rules. OpenFlow flow tables are a security asset that requires confidentiality and integrity guarantees. However, commodity software switch implement

International classification of abdominal wall planes (ICAP) to describe mesh insertion for ventral hernia repair

Background: Nomenclature for mesh insertion during ventral hernia repair is inconsistent and confusing. Several terms, including ‘inlay’, ‘sublay’ and ‘underlay’, can refer to the same anatomical planes in the indexed literature. This frustrates comparisons of surgical practice and may invalidate meta-analyses comparing surgical outcomes. The aim of this study was to establish an international cla

Ocean acidification increases iodine accumulation in kelp-based coastal food webs

Kelp are main iodine accumulators in the ocean, and their growth and photosynthesis are likely to benefit from elevated seawater CO2 levels due to ocean acidification. However, there are currently no data on the effects of ocean acidification on iodine metabolism in kelp. As key primary producers in coastal ecosystems worldwide, any change in their iodine metabolism caused by climate change will p

Self-Service Business Analytics and the Path to Insights : Integrating Resources for Generating Insights

The nature of today’s business demands that Business Analytics (BA) extends to an operational level to better support employees in their decision-making. This is noticeable from the constant requests for new reports and changes in old ones at different employee levels. As a result, BA specialists or other power-users in functional departments are “bombarded” by these requests, and it becomes more

Empowered or Protected? : The ‘problem’ of complainants’ rights in Danish and Norwegian preparatory works on criminal procedure

In the mid-2000s, Danish and Norwegian criminal procedural law underwent legislative amendments to strengthen the rights of complainants in cases of sexual violence and other cases of serious violations. While in Norway complainants were afforded participatory rights and stronger legal representation in court, this was largely not the case in Denmark. The aim of this chapter is to identify how the

Studying the “Pelagius and Johannes” collection of Sayings of the Desert Fathers : Steps towards a new edition of the Latin reception

The sayings of the Desert Fathers had an important role in the monastic education and were very widespread. Originally written down in Greek, they were soon translated into all the main languages in the medieval Europe, and underwent transformations as they were copied. The sayings were organized in different ways, mainly alphabetically or according to themes, and as they were copied the repertoir

Visible light induction of an electron paramagnetic resonance split signal in photosystem II in the S 2 state reveals the importance of charges in the oxygen-evolving center during catalysis : A unifying model

Cryogenic illumination of Photosystem II (PSII) can lead to the trapping of the metastable radical Y Z •, the radical form of the redox-active tyrosine residue D1-Tyr161 (known as Y Z). Magnetic interaction between this radical and the CaMn 4 cluster of PSII gives rise to so-called split electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals with characteristics that are dependent on the S state. We report

High-valent [MnFe] and [FeFe] cofactors in ribonucleotide reductases

Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) are essential for DNA synthesis in most organisms. In class-Ic RNR from Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), a MnFe cofactor in subunit R2 forms the site required for enzyme activity, instead of an FeFe cofactor plus a redox-active tyrosine in class-Ia RNRs, for example in mouse (Mus musculus, Mm). For R2 proteins from Ct and Mm, either grown in the presence of, or reconsti

A crystallographic and Mo K-edge XAS study of molybdenum oxo bis-, mono-, and non-dithiolene complexes-first-sphere coordination geometry and noninnocence of ligands

Ten square-based pyramidal molybdenum complexes with different sulfur donor ligands, that is, a variety of dithiolenes and sulfides, were prepared, which mimic coordination motifs of the molybdenum cofactors of molybdenum-dependent oxidoreductases. The model compounds were investigated by Mo K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and (with one exception) their molecular structures were analyze

The formation of the split EPR signal from the S3 state of Photosystem II does not involve primary charge separation

Metalloradical EPR signals have been found in intact Photosystem II at cryogenic temperatures. They reflect the light-driven formation of the tyrosine Z radical (YZ) in magnetic interaction with the CaMn4 cluster in a particular S state. These so-called split EPR signals, induced at cryogenic temperatures, provide means to study the otherwise transient YZ and to probe the S states with EPR spectro

Effects of pH on the S3 state of the oxygen evolving complex in photosystem II probed by EPR split signal induction

The electrons extracted from the CaMn4 cluster during water oxidation in photosystem II are transferred to P680+ via the redox-active tyrosine D1-Tyr161 (YZ). Upon YZ oxidation a proton moves in a hydrogen bond toward D1-His190 (HisZ). The deprotonation and reprotonation mechanism of YZ-OH/Y Z-O is of key importance for the catalytic turnover of photosystem II. By light illumination at liquid heli

Metalloradical EPR signals from the YZ·S-State intermediates in photosystem II

The redox-active tyrosine residue (YZ) plays a crucial role in the mechanism of the water oxidation. Metalloradical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals reflecting the light-induced YZ· in magnetic interaction with the CaMn4-cluster in the particular S-state, YZ·SX intermediates, have been found in intact photosystem II. These so-called split EPR signals are induced by illumination at cry

Formation spectra of the EPR split signals from the S0, S 1, and S3 states in photosystem II induced by monochromatic light at 5 K

The interaction EPR split signals from photosystem II (PSII) have been reported from the S0, S1, and S3 states. The signals are induced by illumination at cryogenic temperatures and are proposed to reflect the magnetic interaction between YZ• and the Mn 4Ca cluster. We have investigated the formation spectra of these split EPR signals induced in PSII enriched membranes at 5 K using monochromatic l

Split EPR signals from photosystem II are modified by methanol, reflecting S state-dependent binding and alterations in the magnetic coupling in the CaMn4 cluster

Methanol binds to the CaMn4 cluster in photosystem II (PSII). Here we report the methanol dependence of the split EPR signals originating from the magnetic interaction between the CaMn4 cluster and the Y Z· radical in PSII which are induced by illumination at 5 K. We found that the magnitudes of the "split S1" and "split S3" signals induced in the S1 and S 3 states of PSII centers, respectively, a

Impact of AgNPs on seed germination and seedling growth : A focus study on its antibacterial potential against clavibacter michiganensis subsp. Michiganensis infection in solanum lycopersicum

This study investigated the effect of biogenic AgNPs on seed germination and seedling growth of Solanum lycopersicum. Treatment with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) showed a significantly high germination rate and seedling growth compared to untreated seeds. Furthermore, its bactericidal effect against bacterial pathogen Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (cmm) infection in Solanum lycope

The role of place in city centre retailing

City centre offerings, including shopping, restaurants and cafés, and a lively atmosphere are vital place attributes, which together with several other elements create an attractive place. However, city centre retailing is facing serious competition from e-commerce and external shopping malls, and dying city centres appear to have become a worldwide epidemic in the last decade. To retain visitors

Fundamental Frequency in Feedback Words in Swedish

An investigation of the fundamental frequency in Swedish feedback words is presented. It is hypothesised that the F0-pattern differs between words signalling positive and negative feedback-i.e. agreement and disagreement with the utterance of the preceding speaker. When imitating the contrast, the negative feedback word nej 'no' is often produced with a falling F0, stretching over a larger range,
