Economic methodology is revisited to address issues in
fishery management, and survival analysis is suggested as an
analytical tool to solve the uncertainty problem in
evolutionary economics. Survival analysis can clarify in
statistical terms the impacts of fishery regulation and
economic and biological changes on the fisherman's final
decisions of...
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) make up an ancient family of enzymes that are the predominant peroxidases for nearly all organisms and play essential roles in reducing hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxides, and peroxynitrite. Even between distantly related organisms, the core protein fold and key catalytic residues related to its cysteine-based catalytic mechanism have...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness, if any, of ten weeks of motor psychophysics training on the
development of dynamic muscular strength (as measured by the bench
press and squat) in male college athletes and non-athletes.
Procedures: This study was conducted during the first (spring)...
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a ubiquitous family of cysteine-dependent peroxidase enzymes that play dominant roles in regulating peroxide levels within cells. These enzymes, often present at high levels and capable of rapidly clearing peroxides, display a remarkable array of variations in their oligomeric states and susceptibility to regulation by hyperoxidative inactivation...
A gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of the antitumor agent
cetoniacytone A was identified in Actinomyces sp. strain Lu 9419, an
endosymbiotic bacteria isolated from the intestines of the rose chafer beetle. The
nucleotide sequence analysis of the 26 Kb DNA region revealed the presence of 17
complete ORFs,...
Exercise programs that are individualized and moderately challenge balance to address falls risk factors are recommended for preventing falls in community-dwelling older adults. Little is known regarding the biomechanical and postural control demands in exercises commonly performed in falls prevention programs. Twenty-two non-sedentary, healthy older adults (11 men, 11 women,...
Variation in cheese quality due to geographic location is important to cheese producers, consumers, and retailers on a global level. Understanding the impacts of geographic location of cheese plants may be useful to businesses for marketing, cost reduction, and quality improvement. Many aspects of variation due to geography have been...
