Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein that functions as a cofactor to activated protein C in the inactivation of coagulation factors Va and VIIIa. The nucleotide sequence of a full-length cDNA clone, obtained from a bovine liver library, was determined and the amino acid sequence was deduced. In addition, 95% of the structure was determined by protein sequencing. Protein S consists of
The paper discusses the nature and development of sociology. In particular, it problematizes some aspects of sociology today - sociology in a post disciplinary age and its relate to the novel and the essay as styles of thought. The discussion refers to classical sociology and its provisional, indeed pre disciplinary constitution.
In the degree that costs and demand of crude oil rise, diminish the economical disadvantages for alternative Diesel fuels, resulting in a variety of feasible substitutes. Diesel fuel substitutes have deviating exhaust emissions from conventional fuel. The methyl ester of rapeseed oil (known as RME/Biodiesel) is receiving increasing attention as an alternative fuel for Diesel engines. RME is a non-
The matter of who appropriates the economic value created by a firm’s resources and capabilities has remained largely unresolved in strategic management. The aim of the paper is to highlight some of the shortcomings of established strategic management theory in explaining value appropriation, outline key examples of value appropriation mechanisms, and empirically illustrate the link between these
The heat transferred through protective clothing under long wave radiation compared to a reference condition without radiant stress was determined in thermal manikin experiments. The influence of clothing insulation and reflectivity, and the interaction with wind and wet underclothing were considered. Garments with different outer materials and colours and additionally an aluminised reflective sui
This paper discusses the restrictions that dissipation forces on the material parameters and responses of bi-anisotropic media. The treatment is a general time domain analysis where six-vector formalism is applied. Energy conditions set limitations on the optical response dyadics and dyadic susceptibility kernels of the material that have to be satisfied regardless the time dependence of the field
