We perform a statistical and energetic analysis of atomic polarizabilities obtained with the LoProp approach for all atoms in the avidin tetramer for 70 snapshots from molecular dynamics simulations with seven different biotin analogues, and from the crystal structure of the photosynthetic reaction center (in total 560 698 individual polarizabilities). Dynamic effects give a variation of the polar
Low-frequency coding DNA sequence variants in the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 gene (PCSK9) lower plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), protect against risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), and have prompted the development of a new class of therapeutics. It is uncertain whether the PCSK9 example represents a paradigm or an isolated exception. We used the "Exome Arra
A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the IL12RB2 locus showed a suggestive association signal in a previously published genome-wide association study (GWAS) in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Aiming to reveal the possible implication of the IL12RB2 gene in SSc, we conducted a follow-up study of this locus in different Caucasian cohorts. We analyzed 10 GWAS-genotyped SNPs in the IL12RB2 region (2309
U-Pb baddeleyite geochronology and geochemistry of mafic cobbles from the similar to 300 Ma Dwyka diamictite on the western boundary of the Kalahari Basin provide new insights into the sub-Kalahari basement. Palaeo-ice flow directions indicate that the origin of the Dwyka diamictite deposits on the border between South Africa and Namibia is from beneath the Kalahari sands to the east or north-east
A biocatalysis based method for the solvent-free production of N-alkanoyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA) surfactants was developed and used as a case study for the evaluation of different environmental assessment tools, such as the freeware package EATOS (Environmental Assessment Tool for Organic Synthesis). In order to also consider energy usage and process facilities, e. g. heating, stirring and vacuu
CONTEXT: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been suggested to represent the extreme end of a normal distribution of autisticlike traits (ALTs). However, the evidence of this notion is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE: To study whether there are similar genetic and/or environmental etiologies behind ASDs and ALTs. DESIGN: A nationwide twin study. PARTICIPANTS: Consenting parents of all Swedish twins aged
The capacity of different microbial groups to recolonise soil after a fire event will be decisive in determining the microbial community after the fire. Microbial recovery after a wildfire that occurred in Sierra la Grana (Alicante province, southeast Spain) was tracked for 32 months after the fire. Colony forming units (CFUs) of different microbial groups, microbial biomass, soil respiration, bac
This paper investigates the fundamental free-space antenna translation channel as an important step in understanding and developing the spherical waves as a generic tool for MIMO channel modeling. The model is demonstrated by quantifying the theoretical MIMO capacity associated with antennas exciting high order modes in the Fresnel and Fraunhofer regions.
Logistics is gaining increased attention in companies since interconnectivity is increasing, and the interdependence among actors is enhanced due to challenges organizations are facing today (market changes, novel strategies, and technological improvements). While the logistics discipline has been characterized by an efficiency focus based on positivistic assumptions, the challenges of today requi
