The PII proteins are found in all three domains of life as key integrators of signals reflecting the balance of nitrogen and carbon. Genetic inactivation of PII proteins is typically associated with severe growth defects or death. However, the molecular…

Electrodeposition of Pt nanoparticles under
potentiostatic conditions was performed on several types of carbon electrode supports: commercial macroporous carbon (a three-dimensional electrode), glassy carbon and
graphite. Conducting polymers (poly-aniline and poly-oaminophenol) were also used. The platinum nanoparticles were obtained by…

In this paper, we analyze the relation between the surface curvature of an isolated charged conductor and resultant electrostatic potential. The study will be performed for a long conductor with uniform cross section. It will be demonstrated by geometric arguments…

Multi-agent systems (MAS) offer an approach to solve complex problems where data and control are inherently distributed among several agents. Normally, agents have to cope with conflicts based on inconsistent knowledge which arise when they exchange information. A relative common…

This study provides an overview of the strong military component of Celtiberian society, dating back to the sixth century BC and manifesting itself especially during the wars against Rome in the second century BC. This bellicose character developed as a…

The electrochemical oxidation of the aniline dimers 2-aminodiphenylamine (2-adpa) and 4-aminodiphenylamine (4-adpa) has been
performed in strongly acidic medium on platinum, graphite, and indium tin oxide electrodes. The resulting films have been
characterized by a number of electrochemical, microscopic, and…

Can you imagine a useful task you would like a social robot to perform for you? This paper presents an Internet survey where participants were asked this question to identify applications for social robots. The applications mentioned by the participants…

Objective: To review studies of anxiety in critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit to describe the level of anxiety and synthesize the psychometric properties of the instruments used to measure anxiety. Methods: The CUIDEN, IME, ISOC, CINAHL,…

15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15dPGJ2) has been recently proposed as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. However, the mechanisms by which 15dPGJ2 mediates its therapeutic effects in vivo are unclear. We demonstrate that 15dPGJ2 at micromolar (2.5–10 µM) concentrations induces the expression of heme…
