Results of the sorting of the mikronekton and zooplankton material sampled by the German Antarctic Expedition 1975/1976

A description is given of the taxa sorted out of the zooplanktion and mikronekton material of the 1st German Antarctic Expedition 1975/76 by the Kiel sorting center. The methods employed in the sorting center are describined in detail. Notes for further use of the material are also given.

Antiviral and antiparasite properties of an L-amino acid oxidase from the Snake Bothrops jararaca: Cloning and identification of a complete cDNA sequence (Retracted article. See vol. 80, pg. 288, 2010)

L-Amino acid oxidases (LAAOs, EC 1.4.3.2) are flavoenzymes that catalyze the stereospecific oxidative deamination of an L-amino acid substrate to the corresponding a-ketoacid with hydrogen peroxide and ammonia production. The present work describes the first report on the antiviral (Dengue virus) and antiprotozoal (trypanocidal and leishmanicide) activities of a Bothrops jararaca L-amino acid oxidase (BjarLAAO-I) and identify its cDNA sequence. Antiparasite effects were inhibited by catalase, suggesting that they are mediated by H(2)O(2) production. Cells infected with DENV-3 virus previously treated with BjarLAAO-I, showed a decrease in viral titer (13-83-fold) when compared with cells infected with untreated viruses. Untreated and treated promastigotes (T. cruzi and L. amazonensis) were observed by transmission electron microscopy with different degrees of damage. Its complete cDNA sequence, with 1452 bp, encoded an open reading frame of 484 amino acid residues with a theoretical molecular weight and pl of 54,771.8 and 5.7, respectively. The cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence of BjarLAAO shows high identity to LAAOs from other snake venoms. Further investigations will be focused on the related molecular and functional correlation of these enzymes. Such a study should provide valuable information for the therapeutic development of new generations of microbicidal drugs. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Field Evaluation of Bonded Concrete Overlays, HR-288, 1986

A field program of strain and deflection measurements was conducted by the Construction Technology Laboratories (CTL) for the Iowa Department of Transportation. The objective of the field measurement program was to obtain information on bonded concrete resurfaced pavements that can be used as a data base for verifying bonded resurfacing thickness design procedures. Data gathered during the investigation included a visual condition survey, engineering properties of the original and resurfacing concrete, load related strain and deflection measurements, and temperature related curl (deflection) measurements. Resurfacing is basically the addition of a surface layer to extend the life of an existing pavement. Portland cement concrete has been used to resurface existing pavements since about 1913.

Indubtablement, un dels factors que de manera més clara defineixen el tarannà de l'arquitectura i la diferencien d'altres manifestacions artístiques és la seva vessant pràctica i utilitària, la coneguda utilitas, ja apuntada per Vitruvi juntament amb la solidesa i la bellesa com un dels conceptes bàsics que han de guiar l'arquitecte en la seva tasca de projecció d'un nou edifici.
