Investigation on phospheonol pyruvate carboxylase and proline in damaged and indamaged needles of Picea Abies and Abies Alba
1998
The client of forest damage is rapidly characterized by visible criteria such as loss and yellowing of leaves and needles Additionally damage to Norway spruce (Picea abies) and silver fit (Abies alba) can be diagnosed by biochemical criteria. The results in the present study performed in 1993 and 1994 on six Norway Spruces of each of the eleven open air stands in south-western Germany indicate that the activity of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) correlates with the extent of damage and of the loss of needles, respectively. Needles of severely damaged trees had higher levels of PEPC than needles of healthy trees. There was also a positive correlation between the activity of PEPC and …
Uroģenitālās hlamidiozes un gonorejas epidemioloģisko datu analīze Latvijā laika posmā 2008.-2013.g.
2015
Joprojām nav skaids kā labāk kontrolēt uroģenitālās hlamidiozes un gonokoku infekcijas transmisiju un novērst šo slimību komplikācijas, jo nepastāv vienotas vispārpieņemtas skrīninga programmas. Uroģenitālās hlamidiozes un gonorejas skrīninga programmas lietderīgums, tai skaitā izmaksu ziņā, ir diskutabls. Taču šo slimību diagnostika joprojām atrodas suboptimālā līmenī, tādēļ tās epidemioloģiskie dati nav visai ticami. Mērķis šīm pētījumam ir noteikt uroģenitālās hlamidiozes un gonokoku infekcijas reģistrēto gadījumu tendences atkarībā no pacientu vecuma, dzimuma un dzīvesvietas, apkopojot šo slimību epidemioloģiskus datus – saslimstību Latvijā laika periodā 2008.-2013. g. Dati pētījumam ar…
Phospholipid-polyaspartamide micelles for pulmonary delivery of corticosteroids
2011
A novel drug delivery system for beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) has been constructed through self-assembly of a pegylated phospholipid-polyaminoacid conjugate. This copolymer was obtained by chemical reaction of α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide (PHEA) with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[amino(polyethyleneglycol)2000] (DSPE-PEG(2000)-NH(2)). Benefiting from the amphiphilic structure with the hydrophilic shell based on both PHEA and PEG and many hydrophobic stearoyl tails, PHEA-PEG(2000)-DSPE copolymer was able to self assemble into micelles in aqueous media above a concentration of 1.23 × 10(-7)M, determined by fluorescence studies. During the self-assembling …
Generalized Logical Operations among Conditional Events
2018
We generalize, by a progressive procedure, the notions of conjunction and disjunction of two conditional events to the case of n conditional events. In our coherence-based approach, conjunctions and disjunctions are suitable conditional random quantities. We define the notion of negation, by verifying De Morgan’s Laws. We also show that conjunction and disjunction satisfy the associative and commutative properties, and a monotonicity property. Then, we give some results on coherence of prevision assessments for some families of compounded conditionals; in particular we examine the Frechet-Hoeffding bounds. Moreover, we study the reverse probabilistic inference from the conjunction $\mathcal…
Repeatability and reliability of the footwear assessment tool in Spanish patients: A transcultural adaptation
2023
[Abstract] Background: The footwear assessment tool was designed to advise an appropriate footwear for each situation and patient. Footwear alterations structures can influence in musculoskeletal disorders, developing foot ulcers, increase the peak plantar pressure, bacterial growth, low back pain. Methods: To validate the study 101 subjects were recruited. The study was tested by two expert podiatrists using the tool for the assessment of footwear characteristics that is composed by five domains, fit, general features, general structure, motion control properties and cushioning system. Each domain analyzes different shoe items. Results: An excellent agreement between the test-retest. A sui…
Unraveling the evolutionary history of the phosphoryl-transfer chain of the phosphoenolpyruvate:phosphotransferase system through phylogenetic analys…
2007
[Background] The phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (PTS) plays a major role in sugar transport and in the regulation of essential physiological processes in many bacteria. The PTS couples solute transport to its phosphorylation at the expense of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and it consists of general cytoplasmic phosphoryl transfer proteins and specific enzyme II complexes which catalyze the uptake and phosphorylation of solutes. Previous studies have suggested that the evolution of the constituents of the enzyme II complexes has been driven largely by horizontal gene transfer whereas vertical inheritance has been prevalent in the general phosphoryl transfer proteins in some bacter…
Impact Acceleration During Prolonged Running While Wearing Conventional Versus Minimalist Shoes.
2020
Purpose: In recent years a sub-group of minimalist runners have emerged who aim to perform physical exercise more naturally in an attempt to reduce running-related injuries. Here we aimed to determine the effect that running with minimalist footwear in a prolonged run has on footimpact accelerations. Method: Seventeen runners ran with minimalist and conventional shoes (MS and CS, respectively) in two separate sessions; the participants had experience with both footwear types. We measured the length and frequency of each stride, as well as the tibial and head impact acceleration every 5 minutes during a prolonged run (30 minutes at 80% of each individual's maximum aerobic speed). Results: Th…
Does Christian Spirituality Enhance Psychological Interventions on Forgiveness, Gratitude, and the Meaning of Life? A Quasi-Experimental Intervention…
2020
Scientific research has provided theoretical evidence on the implementation of religious/spiritual interventions (RSI) as a complementary health therapy, where spiritual improvements are also a factor to consider. Despite the above, there are few studies that have evaluated the clinical applicability of these findings. This study was an intervention with older and younger adults divided into two treatment groups and one control group. What is expected is that the two treatment groups will score better than the control group
Heikko ravintotilanne rajoittaa hauen (Esox lucius) ja kuhan (Sander lucioperca) kasvua Suotajärvessä
2014
Hauki ja kuha esiintyvät Suomessa usein samoissa vesistöissä, mutta niiden vuorovaikutuksesta tiedetään vain vähän. Mikäli lajit kilpailevat samoista resursseista, runsaat kuhaistutukset tai kuhan luonnollinen yleistyminen voivat vaikuttaa negatiivisesti hauen menestykseen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää hauen ja kuhan kasvua ja ravinnonkäyttöä Suotajärvessä. Kasvua tarkasteltiin myös suhteessa kasvukausien lämpötilaan. Ravinnonkäytössä keskityttiin hauen ja kuhan ravinnon päällekkäisyyteen ja siitä mahdollisesti seuraavaan ravintokilpailuun. Lisäksi verkkokoekalastuksilla selvitettiin järven kalaston yleistä tilaa, erityisesti ajatellen petokalojen ravintotilannetta. Hauki- ja k…
Transcriptome analysis of Phoenix canariensis Chabaud in response to Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier attacks
2015
Red Palm Weevil (RPW, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier) threatens most palm species worldwide. Until now, no studies have analyzed the gene regulatory networks of Phoenix canariensis (Chabaud) in response to RPW attacks. The aim of this study was to fill this knowledge gap. Providing this basic knowledge is very important to improve its management.Results: A deep transcriptome analysis was performed on fully expanded leaves of healthy non-infested trees and attacked trees at two symptom stages (middle and late infestation). A total of 54 genes were significantly regulated during middle stage. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that phenylpropanoid-related pathways were induced at this stag…
