Evolution at Two Levels in Humans and Chimpanzees
Evolution at Two Levels in Humans and Chimpanzees ~ Evolution at Two Levels in Humans and Chimpanzees Their macromolecules are so alike that regulatory mutations may account for their biological differences. Overall, fossil-based and molecular times are in relatively close agreement (Fig. 4a), except for the origin of placental orders and the early history of [...]

Development of Compact Nuclear Fusion Reactor Using Solid Pycnodeuterium as Nuclear Fuel
Development of Compact Nuclear Fusion Reactor Using Solid Pycnodeuterium as Nuclear Fuel ~ Abstract Based on the functioning of Pd black inside a DS-Cathode, which has produced irrefutable evidence for the existence of solid nuclear fusion, new materials were developed to absorb abundant D/H atoms, up to levels as high as 300% of Pd number. [...]

Towards a Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor
Towards a Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor ~ Recently, at Princeton University, USA, plasma temperatures in the region of 60 million degrees Kelvin were attained in a fusion experiment of the so-called tokamak type. This was a significant advance over the temperatures (about 25 million degrees) previously achieved after years of research effort. In other tokamaks [...]

PROSPECT OF NUCLEAR WASTE TRANSMUTATION AND POWER PRODUCTION IN FUSION REACTORS
PROSPECT OF NUCLEAR WASTE TRANSMUTATION AND POWER PRODUCTION IN FUSION REACTORS ~ A small tokamak-based fusion reactor can be attractive for actinide waste transmutation. Equilibrium concentrations of transuranium isotopes were estimated in a molten-salt based fusion transmutation reactor. Nuclear performance parameters were derived for two types of fusion-driven transmutation reactors: Pu-assisted and minor actinides- only [...]

The Principle of Nuclear Induction
The principle of nuclear induction ~ A decisive step forward was made in 1933 by Stern2, who applied his method of molecular beams to the determination of the magnetic moments of the proton and the deuteron in hydrogen molecules. Instead of the emitted light, it is here the deflection of the molecule in an inhomogeneous [...]

Nuclear Induction
Nuclear Induction ~ The magnetic moments of nuclei in normal matter will result in a nuclear paramagnetic polarization upon establishment of equilibrium in a constant magnetic field. It is shown that a radiofrequency field at right angles to the constant field causes a forced precession of the total polarization around the constant held with decreasing [...]

A Short Amino Acid Sequence Able to Specify Nuclear Location
A Short Amino Acid Sequence Able to Specify Nuclear Location ~ A short sequence of amino acids including Lys-128 is required for the normal nuclear accumulation of wild-type and deleted forms of SV40 large T antigen. A cytoplasmic large T mutant that lacks sequences from around Lys-128 localizes to the nucleus if the missing sequence [...]

A New Inspection Method for Balancing Redox Equations
A New Inspection Method for Balancing Redox Equations ~ Although simple chemical equations are generally bal- anced by inspection, many chemists seem to believe that complex redox equations require special balancing techniques. Chemistry teachers often tell their students that they must learn how to use either the “change in oxidation number” or the “ion–electron half-reaction” [...]

Enzyme Inhibitors as Substrates: Interaction of Esterases with Esters of Organophosphorus and Carbamic Acids
Enzyme Inhibitors as Substrates: Interaction of Esterases with Esters of Organophosphorus and Carbamic Acids ~ This book is an idiosyncratic look at problems which are important in many academic and applied disciplines. This is its strength and weakness. There is something for every- one, but the ratio of the exotic to the familiar will vary [...]

Catalysis by Heteropoly Acids and Multicomponent Polyoxometalates in Liquid-Phase Reactions
Catalysis by Heteropoly Acids and Multicomponent Polyoxometalates in Liquid-Phase Reactions ~ A. HPA Catalysts 1. Structure Molecular Structure. HPAs are complex proton acids that incorporate polyoxometalate anions (het- eropolyanions) having metal-oxygen octahedra as the basic structural units.17-24 The first character- ized and the best known of these is the Keggin heteropolyanion typically represented by the [...]

Biosynthesis of Branched Chain Fatty Acids
Biosynthesis of Branched Chain Fatty Acids ~ Branched chain fatty acids with 15 and 17 carbon atoms occur abundantly in the lipids of Bacillus subtilis (natto) (2), in a species of Sarcina (3), in Micrococcus lysodeikticus (4), and in B. subtilis (ATCC 7059) (1). Recently Horning et al. (5) have presented evidence based on purified [...]

Identification of Bacteria by Gas Chromatography of Cellular Fatty Acids
Identification of Bacteria by Gas Chromatography of Cellular Fatty Acids ~ For many years, analysis of short chain fatty acids (volatile fatty acids, VFAs) has been routinely used in identification of anaerobic bacteria. In numerous scientific papers, the fatty acids between 9 and 20 carbons in length have also been used to characterize genera and [...]
