Mass spectrometry confirmed that the entire denitrification system of Thiosphaera pantotropha is present under aerobic conditions. Acetate-dependent oxygen uptake is totally inhibited by 0.3mM cyanide. Nitrate reduction by cells grown with and without nitrate was inhibited by 10 and 15mM azide, respectively. The nitrous oxide reductase was totally inhibited by 1% acetylene or 0.125mM cyanide. This
Thisthesis revisits and explores the relationship between verse and meaning bymeans of the notion of iconicity, i.e.,as signs primarily based on similarity. The aim of the thesis is to show howverse and its interaction with words and sentences create meaning and can be anintegrated part in the interpretation or understanding of the poem as a whole.Verse is discussed in relation to four other liter
This paper provides an analysis of 67 corrody contracts from 1476-1538. By purchasing such a contract, the elderly acquired lifelong lodging and care in an institution - in this case the hospital of Sint-Pieter in Amsterdam. Most customers paid in kind, by handing over real estate and financial instruments to the hospital, or promising to do manual labour. Customers spent the equivalent of 250-400
Introduction: In Italy the course to become a general practitioner (GP) lasts 3 years and includes both theoretical and practical study. Different from the theoretical part, until recently the practical activity has not been assessed at all. The Emilia Romagna Regional Health Authority has developed a special program called INFORMEG (Management of Tutoring during the Triennial Specific Training in
The Internet allows people to freely navigate through news and use that information to reinforce or support their own beliefs in, for example, different social networks. In this chapter we suggest that the representation of current predominant views in the news can be seen as collective expressions within a society. Seeing that the notion of what makes individuals happy has been of increasing inte
The experiment aims to assess the tryptophan content of main cultivars of naked oat in China, and analyze the correlation between contents of tryptophan and protein. Oat flour was hydrolysed with papain, the fluorescence intensity of hydrolysate was detected at excitation wavelength of 288 nm and emission wavelength of 352 nm, and finally the tryptophan content was quantitated according to standar
Feedback controllers are typically applied to computing systems by acting on some quantities ("tunable parameters" in the computer science lexicon, think e.g. of a packet drop rate) in order to attain some goal (e.g., a required bandwidth allocation). In other words, control loops are closed around the computing system, that exposes tunable parameters as control actuators, and allows to measure so
