Computational modeling of protein diffusion in the cell nucleus using the lattice-Boltzmann method

2012

The number of fluorescence applications and methods of analysis is growing in the biological and related sciences. The aim of this work was to accurately determine the diffusion coefficient in nucleus, diffusion in the cytoplasm and nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation should be considered as well. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments were used in order to study protein diffusion. A numerical model for FRAP was used to determine the diffusion properties of proteins. The present method removed the difficulties of the conventional analysis, could produce, interesting results for protein diffusion in the cell.

Obywatelska inicjatywa ustawodawcza na przykładzie Szwajcarii

2018

Obywatelska inicjatywa ustawodawcza daje możliwość współdecydowania o najważniejszych kwestiach w państwie. W artykule przedstawiono pojęcie inicjatywy ludowej oraz jej podział ze względu na formę, zasięg terytorialny, przedmiot inicjatywy oraz stopień pośrednictwa. Opisano również procedurę obywatelskiej inicjatywy ustawodawczej w sprawie częściowej oraz całkowitej zmiany konstytucji w Szwajcarii. Wskazano praktykę stosowania tej formy demokracji bezpośredniej na każdym szczeblu administracji publicznej Konfederacji Szwajcarskiej.

Jauni ieskati kvantu automātu stāvokļu skaita efektivitātē

2022

Kvantu galīgi automāti var sasniegt eksponenciālu stāvokļu skaitu efektivitāti, salīdzinot ar determinētiem galīgiem automātiem. Viena problēma, kurā ir zināms, ka kvantu galīgiem automātiem ir eksponenciālas priekšrocības, ir MODn problēma, taču nav zināma metode, kā uzkonstruēt tādu kvantu automātu. Šajā darbā eksponenciāli efektīvie MODn algoritmi tiek vispārināti jaunā algoritmā, kas samazina vajadzīgo stāvokļu skaitu. Jaunā algoritma saaistības ar esošiem virzieniem literatūrā tiek aprakstītas, un tiek piedāvātas divas jaunas skaitļu virknes, kuras varētu izmantot, lai uzkonstruētu tādus kvantu automātus.

Discrete exterior calculus for photonic crystal waveguides

2022

The discrete exterior calculus (DEC) is very promising, though not yet widely used, discretization method for photonic crystal (PC) waveguides. It can be seen as a generalization of the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The DEC enables efficient time evolution by construction and fits well for nonhomogeneous computational domains and obstacles of curved surfaces. These properties are typically present in applications of PC waveguides that are constructed as periodic structures of inhomogeneities in a computational domain. We present a two-dimensional DEC discretization for PC waveguides and demonstrate it with a selection of numerical experiments typical in the application area. …

Pat Barker’s Regeneration: Subverting the Masculinity of World War I Official Discourse

2014

Pat Barker’s Regeneration (1991) offers an imaginative deconstruction of the myth of the Great War as produced within British official patriotic rhetoric and in some of the best-known lyrics by Wilfred Owen (1893- 1918), who, together with Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), has always been celebrated as one of the leading War poets. If Owen’s poetry partly entails the apolitical sublimation of the devastating facts of war through the ambiguous sentiment of pity, in Barker’s novel any suppression of emotions is posited as artificial and counterbalanced by a thorough exploration of those contradictory aspects of the Great War which official discourses have tended to obscure: the homoerotic experi…

Recovery of aliphatic low-molecular-mass carboxylic acids from hardwood kraft black liquor

2015

Abstract During alkaline pulping of wood, substantial amounts of carbohydrates-derived aliphatic carboxylic acids (formic and acetic acids together with various hydroxy acids) are formed and dissolved into the cooking liquor (“black liquor”). These acids with low heating values are considered to be potential feedstocks for the chemical industry but, due to many factors, their straightforward recovery as free acids from black liquor (pH 13–14) is difficult. In this paper, we outlined the partial recovery of volatile formic and acetic acids from the acidified birch ( Betula pendula ) kraft black liquor (pH approximately 2.5) by distillation, and the partial recovery of significant low-molecul…

Fighting words : representations of dominant masculinity in the interviews of a mixed martial arts champion

2017

Vapaaottelun kasvattaessa suosiotaan kansainvälisesti tunnettuna urheilulajina ovat myös lukuisat vapaaottelijat yhä laajenevan mediahuomion alaisina sekä lisääntyvän julkisen vaikutusvallan käyttäjinä. Näin ollen useille vapaaottelijoille vaikuttaa olevan yhä tärkeämpää esiintyä julkisesti siten, että heidän käytöksensä houkuttelisi mahdollisimman paljon maksavia asiakkaita katsomaan heidän otteluitaan sekä itse ottelutapahtumiin että maksullisten TV- ja internet-palveluiden välityksellä. Tyypillisesti tällainen käytös sisältää oman itsen julkituomista mahdollisimman maskuliinisesti ja itsevarmasti sekä kilpakumppanien esittämistä muun muassa fyysisesti ja urheilullisilta kyvyiltään alempi…

Photoactive Yellow Protein Chromophore Photoisomerizes around a Single Bond if the Double Bond Is Locked

2020

Photoactivation in the Photoactive Yellow Protein, a bacterial blue light photoreceptor, proceeds via photo-isomerization of the double C=C bond in the covalently attached chromophore. Quantum chemistry calculations, however, have suggested that in addition to double bond photo-isomerization, the isolated chromophore and many of its analogues, can isomerize around a single C-C bond as well. Whereas double bond photo-isomerization has been observed with x-ray crystallography, experimental evidence for single bond photo-isomerization is currently lacking. Therefore, we have synthesized a chromophore analogue, in which the formal double bond is covalently locked in a cyclopentenone ring and ca…
