Convergence of a meshless numerical method for a chemotaxis system with density-suppressed motility [PDF]
This article studies a parabolic-elliptic system modelling the pattern formation in E. coli bacteria in response to a chemoattractant known as acylhomoserine lactone concentration (AHL). The system takes into account certain bacterial strains with motility regulation, and the parameters of the equations represent the bacterial logistic growth, AHL ...

Comparison of DC Bead-irinotecan and DC Bead-topotecan drug eluting beads for use in locoregional drug delivery to treat pancreatic cancer [PDF]
DC Bead is a drug delivery embolisation system that can be loaded with doxorubicin or irinotecan for the treatment of a variety of liver cancers. In this study we demonstrate that the topoisomerase I inhibitor topotecan hydrochloride can be successfully ...

Optimized nanodevice fabrication using clean transfer of graphene by polymer mixture: Experiments and Neural Network based simulations [PDF]
In this study, we investigate both experimentally and computationally the molecular interactions of two distinct polymers with graphene. Our experimental findings indicate that the use of a polymer mixture reduces the transfer induced doping and strain in fabricated graphene devices as compared to conventional single polymer wet transfer. We found that

Determination of the urinary aglycone metabolites of vitamin K by HPLC with redox-mode electrochemical detection [PDF]
We describe a method for the determination of the two major urinary metabolites of vitamin K as the methyl esters of their agyclone structures, 2-methyl-3-(3-3-carboxymethylpropyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (5C-side-chain metabolite) and 2-methyl-3-(5-carboxy-3-

Reduction of ketopantoyl lactone to D-(-)-pantoyl lactone by microorganisms.
The ability to reduce ketopantoyl lactone added to the culture medium to pantoyl lactone was surveyed in a variety of microorganisms. Many of the microorganisms including molds, yeasts, bacteria, actinomycetes and basidiomycetes exhibited this ability. The ratios of D-(—)- and L-(+)-isomers of the yielded pantoyl lactone, however, showed no relation to

Identification of QuiP, the Product of Gene PA1032, as the Second Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Acylase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 [PDF]
The relevance of the acyl homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum signals N-3-oxododecanoyl-homoserine lactone (3OC12HSL) and N-butanoyl-homoserine lactone to the biology and virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is well investigated.

Biocatalytic synthesis of lactones and lactams [PDF]
AbstractCyclic esters and amides (lactones and lactams) are important active ingredients and polymer building blocks. In recent years, numerous biocatalytic methods for their preparation have been developed including enzymatic and chemoenzymatic Baeyer–Villiger oxidations, oxidative lactonisation of diols, and reductive lactonisation and lactamisation ...
