Effects of pH and Salt Concentration on Stability of a Protein G Variant Using Coarse-Grained Models
(2018-01-09)
The importance of charge-charge interactions in the thermal stability of proteins is widely known. pH and ionic strength play a crucial role in these electrostatic interactions, as well as in the arrangement of ionizable ...
Selenium protects rice plants from water deficit stress
(2018-11-30)
Selenium (Se) is essential to humans and animals due to its antioxidant properties. Although it is not considered an essential nutrient for higher plants. Many studies show that Se in low concentrations (up to 0.5 mg kg−1) ...
Applicability of standard delamination tests (double cantilever beam and end notch flexure) for 5HS fabric-reinforced composites in weft-dominated surface
(2015-01-01)
Currently, the standard delamination tests established by ASTM (available for mode I and mix mode) are limited to unidirectional composites. Although some researchers have conducted delamination tests in woven composites, ...
Gill denervation eliminates the barostatic reflex in a neotropical teleost, the tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum)
(2016-08-01)
The baroreflex is one of the most important regulators of cardiovascular homeostasis in vertebrates. It begins with the monitoring of arterial pressure by baroreceptors, which constantly provide the central nervous system ...
Genetic-Quantitative Study of the First-Service Pregnancy Probability of Murrah Heifers
(2016-06-01)
Because of the importance of reproduction in stock breeding systems, it is necessary to find selection criteria that increase reproductive efficiency. The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for the ...
Sustainable Intensification of Beef Production in the Tropics: The Role of Genetically Improving Sexual Precocity of Heifers
(2022-01-01)
Increasing productivity through continued animal genetic improvement is a crucial part of implementing sustainable livestock intensification programs. In Zebu cattle, the lack of sexual precocity is one of the main obstacles ...
Woodframe: Light framing houses for developing countries
(2016-01-01)
The building technique of light wooden framing, i.e., woodframe, represents a great innovative goal of construction, due to the very efficient levels of rationalization of material, operational flexibility and productive ...
Synthesis and characterization of cellulose acetate from cellophane industry residues. Application as acetaminophen controlled-release membranes
(2021-01-01)
Cellophane film production generates cellulosic residues from scraps, edges, and low-quality films. In this work, cellophane was used as a raw material to produce cellulose acetate (CA). CA was produced through the homogeneous ...
Reinforcing learning in Deep Belief Networks through nature-inspired optimization
(2021-09-01)
Deep learning techniques usually face drawbacks related to the vanishing gradient problem, i.e., the gradient becomes gradually weaker when propagating from one layer to another until it finally vanishes away and no longer ...
Mineral nutrition and yield of sweet potato according to phosphorus doses
(2016-04-01)
The sweet potato is a vegetable with potential for expansion of its production area, due to its versatility of use, as it can be used as food, feed and biofuel. However, there is limited information on the mineral nutrition ...
