Catalysis of transthiolacylation in the active centers of dihydrolipoamide acyltransacetylase components of 2‐oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 880-896, June 2018., 2018
Two residues—Asp374 and His375—were identified to be catalytically important at the active center of the E2 component of the Escherichia coli 2‐oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. A series of experiments demonstrated that the mechanism of succinyl transfer between the thiol groups of dihydrolipoamide‐E2 and CoA does not involve acid–base catalysis ...

Detection of Cyanuric Acid and Melamine in Infant Formula Powders by Mid‐FTIR Spectroscopy and Multivariate Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Food Quality, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Chemometric methods using mid‐FTIR spectroscopy were developed in order to reduce the time of study of melamine and cyanuric acid in infant formulas. Chemometric models were constructed using the algorithms Partial Least Squares (PLS1, PLS2) and Principal Component Regression (PCR) in order to correlate the IR signal with the levels of melamine or ...

The Five Indicia of Virtual Property [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
[Excerpt] “Many Americans use “it” every day. Although it is intangible, it may be worth thousands of dollars. Because we can both control it and prevent other people from controlling it, we assume, without much thought, that we own it.

Research and Application on a Novel Clustering Algorithm of Quantum Optimization in Server Load Balancing

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
A quantum optimization scheme in network cluster server task scheduling is proposed. We explore and research the distribution theory of energy field in quantum mechanics; specially, we apply it to data clustering. We compare the quantum optimization method with genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO), simulated annealing algorithm (SAA ...

Effective and ineffective uses of emerging technologies: Towards a transformative pedagogical model

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Technology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 652-661, July 2013., 2013
Abstract Although there is an increasing use of emerging technologies (ETs) in higher education internationally and in South Africa in particular, there is little evidence that their use is transforming teaching and learning practice. Anecdotal evidence shows that there is a dichotomy between the technologies supported and used in higher education ...
