ClpP functions as the proteolytic subunit of the ATP-dependent Clp protease in eubacteria, mammals and plant chloroplasts. We have cloned a clpP gene, designated clpP1, from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942. The monocistronic 591 bp gene codes for a protein 80% similar to one of four putative ClpP proteins in another cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The constitutive ClpP1 c
A search for supersymmetry involving the pair production of gluinos decaying via third-generation squarks into the lightest neutralino (χ˜10) is reported. It uses LHC proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy s=13 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016. The search is performed in events containing large missing transverse mom
The application of remote sensing methods to assess crop vigor and yields has had limited applications in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due largely to limitations associated with satellite images. The increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles in recent times opens up new possibilities for remotely sensing crop status and yields even on complex smallholder farms. This study demonstrates the applicabili
Background: Late effects induced by radiotherapy (RT) are of great concern for mediastinal Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) patients and it is therefore important to reduce normal tissue dose. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact on the normal tissue dose and target coverage, using various combinations of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the incidence of non-vertebral fractures in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) compared with the general population. METHODS: Nationwide register-based cohort study including patients with AS (n=11 611, 65% men, mean age 48 years), and matched general population controls (n=58 050). Five prespecified fracture outcomes: (1) non-vertebral; (2) fracture of the proximal humerus, dista
Objective Longitudinal clinical registry-infrastructures such as Anti-Rheumatic Therapies in Sweden (ARTIS) allow simultaneous comparison of the safety of individual immunomodulatory drugs used in clinical practice, with consistent definitions of treatment cohorts, follow-up and outcomes. Our objective was to assess and compare incidence rates of key safety outcomes for individual targeted synthet
Background: The Online Remote Behavioral Intervention for Tics (ORBIT) study was a multicenter randomized controlled trial of a complex intervention that consisted of a web-based behavioral intervention for children and young people with tic disorders. In the first part of a two-stage process evaluation, we conducted a mixed methods study exploring the reach, dose, and fidelity of the intervention
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the association between pain intensity and willingness to undergo surgery is explained by walking difficulties, in patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA).METHODS: This is an observational study using data from the Better management of patients with Osteoarthritis (BOA) register, which collects data from a publicly financed self-management programme for peo
Fermented foods are of great importance for their extended shelf life, nutritional value, safety, health benefits and additional sensory attributes. The Lactic Acid Bacteria plays a major role in most of the fermented foods. Thereby, an indigenous fermented rice product (Neeragaram) from southern part of India was studied along with the similarly fermented oats product. The products were earlier s
The topic of energy, and particularly, the growing role of renewable energy sources in decarbonizing the economy dominates European political and research agendas. Similarly, a revived political interest in Western Balkan countries from the European Union (EU) sheds light on the longstanding efforts of legislative harmonization and the modernization, decarbonization and integration of the regional
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. It is the only nutrient deficiency that is not exclusively prevalent in non-industrialized nations but also in all industrialized countries. Despite this, the treatment for the disease is inefficient, long and associated with side effects such as constipation and nausea. In recent years several studies have highlighted the diffe
The aim of this research was to explore the consumer behavior of international students in the context of the choice for a higher education institution abroad in order to gain insights on their interactions with different online media communication channels during their decision journey. Previous research discussed the increased use of the internet during the application process for universities a
In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), hosting m
The Lisbon Treaty has made Policy Coherence for Development a legal obligation for the EU, thus the Union’s has a clear institutionalised commitment to makes sure that non-aid policies are not undermining the objectives in the development policy. EU’s energy policy with the 10% target of biofuels in the transport sector have been a point of great debate. Biofuels have been contested both within th
This qualitative research explores the measures of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the labour market integration of female refugees. For this, expert interviews with five 'best practice' CSOs in Germany were conducted to highlight the measures the initiatives take in light of the obstacles they face in their work. The results show that both tangible and intangible measures are taken,
Experimental nuclear structure data coming from superheavy nuclei synthesis experiments often consists of correlated alpha decay chains. In the absence of neutron detectors - which would fully characterize the exit channel after the fusion-evaporation reaction - the sequence of decay energies and half-lives are the 'fingerprint' of the exit channel itself. Experimental data in this region
