Degradation of abnormal proteins in Escherichia coli. Differential proteolysis in vitro of E. coli alkaline phosphatase cyanogen-bromide-cleavage products.
|
Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase has been purified and modified by either carboxymethylation or treatment with cyanogen bromide (CNBr). Only the CNBr-treated protein was degradable in an E. coli cell extract. Separation of the CNBr cleavage products by gel filtration in non-denaturing conditions gave rise to a number of oligomeric complexes, of which only those of molecular weight less than approximately 29000 were degradable in E. coli cell-free extracts. Carboxymethylation of the non-degradable complexes (greater than 29000 molecular weight) resulted in the formation of some complexes of less than 29000 molecular weight: such newly formed complexes were degradable by E. coli cell-free extracts. It is suggested that E. coli cell-free extracts may contain a protease/peptidase system which is active against peptide complexes below 29000 molecular weight, but inactive against peptide oligomers of greater molecular weight.

In the eleventh scene of The Cotton Club Parade of 1933, motionless before a log cabin backdrop, leaning against a lamppost, veiled in a dark blue spotlight, backed by Duke Ellington and his orchestra, Ethel Waters performed the song “Stormy Weather.” With this historic performance, which garnered no less than twelve encores on opening night, Waters introduced into black musical history a song that refigures some of our assumptions about the uses of popular music, the history of American standardization, and the staging of African-American modernism. In this essay, I pursue some specific iterations and inscriptions of “Stormy Weather” through key performances of it in the first half of the twentieth century: its first live performance by Waters and Ellington in The Cotton Club Parade of 1933 and its cinematic performance by Lena Horne and dancer Katherine Dunham in the movie musical Stormy Weather (1943). 1 As this discussion will suggest, “Stormy Weather” shows how an AfricanAmerican modernist impulse and racial critique could be posed, voiced, and circulated through the sounds, movements, and mises-en-scene of popular performance. Looking to these dramaturgical dimensions of “Stormy Weather” will reveal expressions of African-American modernism in some unlikely places: Tin Pan Alley standards, Cotton Club Parades, and Hollywood all-black movie musicals. “Stormy Weather” might seem to be an odd place to turn to consider the circulation and staging of African-American modernism. The popular standard, written by Jewish songwriting team Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler, was a product of American cabaret culture and the publishing industry known as Tin Pan Alley, the system of musical production, marketing, and distribution that worked to sonically exploit, discipline, and standardize the cultural heterogeneity produced by urbanization and modernization in the first three decades of the twentieth century. 2 The phrase “Tin Pan Alley” was coined around 1903 to name the loose collection of sheet-music publishing houses that employed composers and lyricists to write American popular songs. The growth and reach of Tin Pan Alley was part of the process of cultural homogenization that Alan Trachtenberg calls the “incorporation of America”: Tin Pan Alley songs

From the earliest sound films to the present, American cinema has represented African Americans as decidedly musical. Disintegrating the Musical tracks and analyzes this history of musical representations of African Americans, from blacks and whites in blackface to black-cast musicals to jazz shorts, from sorrow songs to show tunes to bebop and beyond. ::: ::: Arthur Knight focuses on American film’s classic sound era, when Hollywood studios made eight all-black-cast musicals—a focus on Afro-America unparalleled in any other genre. It was during this same period that the first black film stars—Paul Robeson, Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Dorothy Dandridge—emerged, not coincidentally, from the ranks of musical performers. That these films made so much of the connection between African Americans and musicality was somewhat ironic, Knight points out, because they did so in a form (song) and a genre (the musical) celebrating American social integration, community, and the marriage of opposites—even as the films themselves were segregated and played before even more strictly segregated audiences. ::: ::: Disintegrating the Musical covers territory both familiar— Show Boat , Stormy Weather , Porgy and Bess —and obscure—musical films by pioneer black director Oscar Micheaux, Lena Horne’s first film The Duke Is Tops , specialty numbers tucked into better-known features, and lost classics like the short Jammin’ the Blues . It considers the social and cultural contexts from which these films arose and how African American critics and audiences responded to them. Finally, Disintegrating the Musical shows how this history connects with the present practices of contemporary musical films like O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Bamboozled .

Excellent kite, almost works too well!

High quality kite from Prism. I've crashed this kite multiple times, got it tangled in tree limbs, exposed it to the elements, used it in multiple different environments and it keeps coming back for more.
The materials are so lightweight yet durable that my 11-year old can fly it with ease.
The only downside is that it flies so well that I let all of the line go and it takes forever to wind it back in. A great problem to have.
I did purchase a stake line winder as well as a good kite tail set which I feel are necessities. Based on this, I'm going to purchase a Prism stunt kite and expand my repertoire.

PURPOSE ::: To report the histopathologic findings of a case of bilateral massive optic nerve head (ONH) drusen. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: A 59-year-old man presented with bilateral massive ONH drusen and secondary compromise of the retinal vasculature leading to vision of counting fingers at 1 ft in the left eye and 20/30 in the right eye. The inferior one half of the left ONH druse was excised resulting in no light perception vision postoperatively. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: Energy-dispersive spectroscopy suggested the composition of the ONH druse to be calcium phosphate (Ca3[PO4]2), which has implications on pathogenesis of neuronal cell death in ONH drusen. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated embedded metal particles, likely to be remnants of the instruments used. ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSION ::: Massive ONH drusen are actually one large druse that has multiple excrescences on its surface giving it the variegated appearance. Although surgical excision of ONH drusen may be technically possible, consideration should be given to improvements in instrumentation and patient selection criteria.

A 53-year-old woman presented with bilateral OND leading to progressive field defects and LE light perception and RE 20/25 vision. A vitrectomy was performed on the legally-blind left eye to test the resectability of OND.ResultsThe removal of superficial OND failed because the singular-appearing superficial OND presented as one large mass with multiple excrescences on its surface. Retinal vessels passed through it, which made an excision impossible.ConclusionOND cannot always be removed surgically, due to their variable consistency and hardness.

The Indianapolis Colts signed wide receiver Matt Hazel to the practice squad, the team announced Monday.
Hazel has been off and on the Colts roster all season, even seeing time on the active roster, and will now join the practice squad.
Per the release from the team:
Hazel, 6-1, 195 pounds, has spent time on the Colts’ active roster and practice squad this season. He was originally claimed by Indianapolis off waivers (from Washington) on September 3, 2017. Hazel saw action in three games for the Colts this season and caught one pass for one yard. He has appeared in eight career NFL games (one start) in his time with Indianapolis (2017), Washington (2016), the Buffalo Bills (2016) and the Miami Dolphins (2014-15).
In a corresponding move, the Colts released cornerback Taurean Nixon from the practice squad.
Here’s how the 10-man practice squad looks after signing Hazel:

Google-UC contract fuels copyright brawl
|
(InfoWorld) - The book-scanning contract between Google Inc. and the University of California has made the Association of American Publishers (AAP) even more distressed over Google's project to digitize millions of volumes from libraries. Last year, the AAP sued Google on behalf of five of its members -- The McGraw-Hill Companies, Pearson Education, Penguin Group USA, Simon & Schuster and John Wiley & Sons -- alleging massive copyright infringement in the Google Books Library Project. But the University of California contract, released publicly two weeks ago, has the AAP even more dismayed than before, said Allan Adler, the AAP's vice president of legal and government affairs. In particular, the University of California agreement contains eyebrow-raising provisions that don't appear in the Google Books Library Project contract with the University of Michigan, which is also available publicly, Adler said. "Some aspects of the University of California contract that differ from the University of Michigan contract raise additional questions both about Google's liability and the possible liability of the universities," Adler said. Adler points to the University of California contract's definition of university library patron as "all individuals and organizations that the University Libraries serve from their Web sites." The contract lets the university use its digital copies for services offered to its patrons, subject to copyright law. Adler finds that the "patron" definition seems broad and could include the general public, not just faculty, students and staff. The contract also allows the university "to recover copying costs" incurred in providing services to patrons. "What's the extent of copying that this agreement would permit the University of California library patrons to engage in?" Adler wonders. Jennifer Colvin, a University of California spokeswoman, said that some online library services are available to the general public and others are limited to university community members. She stressed that the university hasn't decided how it will use its digital copies, but that the uses will comply with copyright law. Adler also noted that the contract, unlike the Michigan agreement, lets the University of California share up to 10 percent of its Google-provided digitized book collection with other libraries and educational institutions for noncommercial purposes. "There's a much tighter set of restrictions on what the University of Michigan can do with the digital copies it receives from Google," Adler said. The University of California seems to have negotiated access for its copies to a more broadly defined universe of so-called patrons, he said. Asked about the differences between the two university contracts, a Google spokeswoman said that each agreement is individually crafted to meet each partner's requirements. She declined to explain why the sharing limit is set at 10 percent. Adler also saw indications in the University of California contract that Google may have grown more concerned and aware of potential liabilities since late 2004, when it signed the Michigan contract. For example, the California contract stipulates that Google will provide digital copies to the university "via a network connection." Based on the Michigan contract, the AAP assumed Google provides the digitized books to the universities in storage hardware like CDs and hard disks. By hosting the university copies on its servers, Google might be attempting to avoid distributing these copies in a physical format, Adler said. The Google and the University of California spokeswomen separately declined to say how the digital copies are being transferred. The California agreement also forces third-party universities and institutions that gain access to the University of California digital copies to indemnify Google in writing from liability related to how these organizations use the material, Adler notes. Last month, the University of California became the latest institution to join the Google Books Library Project, agreeing to let Google scan and digitize millions of volumes from its libraries. Weeks later, the university publicly released the contract to satisfy a "general interest" in the document, including a request by the IDG News Service. The Authors Guild Inc. and three authors also sued Google for alleged copyright infringement related to the library book-scanning project last year. The AAP and the Authors Guild both allege Google needs to obtain permission from copyright holders before scanning in-copyright books it obtains from the libraries. Google acknowledges that it scans the books and makes their full text searchable by users of the Google Book Search service. However, Google maintains its activities are legal because it only displays short text excerpts and bibliographic information for in-copyright books. To this, the AAP retorts that the very act of making a digital copy of an in-copyright book without permission from the copyright holder amounts to infringement. The AAP also condemns as infringement Google's provision of a digital copy of in-copyright books to its university partners. The AAP also contends Google has no right to store on its servers the text of copyrighted books without permission, particularly because Google is using that copyrighted text to power its Book Search service. The University of California contract is at available here.  The University of Michigan contract is available here. Other Google partners include Harvard University, Stanford University and Oxford University. There is no money exchange or revenue sharing between Google and the universities, according to Google. Â

engines execute when a user or application invokes them, usually in a stateless manner. A reactive rule engine reacts automatically when events occur, usually in a stateful manner. Many (and indeed most) popular commercial rule engines have both production and reaction rule capabilities, although they might emphasize one class over another. For example, most business rules engines are primarily production rules engines, whereas complex event processing rules engines emphasize reaction rules. In addition, some rules engines support backward chaining. In this case a rules engine seeks to resolve the facts to fit a particular goal. It is often referred to

The comparative immunotoxicity of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and colloidal silica nanoparticles in mice
|
Background ::: Mesoporous silica (MPS) nanoparticles (NPs), which have a unique pore structure and extremely large surface area and pore volume, have received much attention because of their biomedical application potential. Using MPS NPs for biomedical devices requires the verification of their biocompatibility because the surface area of NPs is one of the most important determinants of toxicity, including the cellular uptake and immune response. We have previously reported that the cytotoxicity and inflammation potential of MPS NPs have been shown to be lower than those of general amorphous colloidal silica (Col) NPs in macrophages, but the low cytotoxicity does not guarantee high biocompatibility in vivo. In this study, we compared the in vivo immunotoxicity of MPS and Col NPs in the mouse model to define the effects of pore structural conditions of silica NPs.

I would watch it. It happened before I came into the picture, and I know I am better than what he ever had before, so really, there would be nothing in there that would make me even arch my eyebrow. Frankly, all it would do is cement, in his eyes, how much better I am than she was...

Article type: Review Article Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is widely distributed throughout the developing countries. In this review, an overview of the epidemiological and epizootic status of brucellosis in Islamic republic of Iran is presented. In Iran, the disease was first recognized in 1932, which is now endemic in the entire country. The first animal vaccination program was carried out in 1949. Brucellosis has been found in humans, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, horses, buffaloes, dogs and the prevalence of bovine brucellosis is estimated 0.3%. The successful implementation of a national brucellosis control program requires enough compensation, farmers' cooperation, accurate diagnosis of infected animals and impetus of health system is required to overcome the disease.
|
Background Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is widely distributed throughout the developing countries. Children are considered as at risk groups for infection. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and clinical manifestations of Brucellosis in Iranian children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: We systematically searched international databases; ISI, Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, and national databases Irandoc, Barakat knowledge network system, Magiran, and Scientific Information Database (SID). The search strategy was developed based on main terms of "Brucellosis," "Brucella fever", "Gibraltar", "Rock Fever", "Undulant Fever", "Cyprus Fever", "Malta Fever", and "Bang Disease". Results: A total of 885 studies were identified, from them a total of 12 studies that were conducted between 2001 and 2016 were included. Following the relevancy assessments and quality control, data from the 1,429 participants were presented in our review. The age of the patients ranged from 2 to 18 years. Only one out of twelve studies provided the prevalence of 4.30% and 3.4 incidence. Studies varied greatly in reporting high risk behavior of animal contact (8.4 to76.0%) and unpasteurized dairy (22.4 to 91.6%). Conclusion Our finding reveals the disparity of reported prevalence and clinical manifestations of Brucellosis in Iranian children. Fever and joint pain were the most frequent reported signs. Differences in study design, measurement tools and methods, and sub population sampling, does not provide the possibility of aggregation of data for more comprehensive inference.

Foreign Policy: So What If Iran Has A U.S. Drone?
|
Micah Zenko is a fellow in the Council on Foreign Relations. On May 1, 1960, an American U-2 surveillance plane was downed by a SA-2 surface-to-air missile over the Sverdlovsk area of the Soviet Union. The U-2's mission — code-named Operation Grand Slam — was to photograph Soviet ballistic missile sites to inform the missile-gap debate raging in Washington. Though Grand Slam was the 24th deep-penetration flight over Soviet territory in four years, and CIA analysts warned of improvements in Soviet air-defense radars and missiles, the risks were deemed worth taking. As Secretary of State Christian Herter had noted in a plea to President Dwight Eisenhower to resume the U-2 flights: "The intelligence objective outweighs the danger of getting trapped." Is history repeating itself? On Thursday, Iranian state television showed two men in military uniforms running their hands across the swept-wing frame of what the broadcast claimed was an RQ-170 Sentinel drone. An unnamed U.S. official said with "high confidence" that the drone displayed was the Sentinel that had gone missing 140 miles inside of Iran. (Only days earlier, a senior official had claimed: "The Iranians have a pile of rubble and are trying to figure what they have.") Several officials have acknowledged that the drone was under CIA control on an intelligence collection mission inside Iran. It is understandable that an event with headlines that include the words "Iran," "drone," and "nuclear" generate a great deal of attention. Yet, for all the bytes and ink expended in discussing the downed Sentinel drone, it is neither surprising nor particularly revealing. As was true in 1960, the benefits of spying on Iran outweigh the dangers of the program being revealed or a downed aircraft, and are what Americans should expect from the $55 billion spent last year on national intelligence. To understand why this downed drone is such an ordinary event requires an understanding the day-to-day process of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC). Here's how it works. Senior policymakers provide tasking guidance to the IC through the National Intelligence Priorities Framework (NIPF), which is the "sole mechanism for establishing national intelligence priorities," according to an Office of the Directorate of National Intelligence (ODNI) directive. The NIPF process is coordinated by the ODNI, and results in a matrix listing the intelligence priorities of policymakers based on topics covered at National Security Council meetings and discussions with cabinet officials. The NIPF is updated every six months and signed by the president. As was described to me recently, the matrix consists of some 30 issues of concern for collection ranked in horizontal bands, running from A (most important) to C (least important), with some 180 state and non-state groups listed on the vertical axis. Finally, the matrix is color-coded based on the degree of current priority. After the ranking, the matrix is then translated into specific guidance from the DNI to senior IC managers for allocating collection and analytical resources. Though the NIPF is highly classified, it is likely that there is no higher priority intelligence target than Iran's nuclear program, ballistic-missile sites, and air-defense system. Given that the Sentinel was reportedly on a CIA mission, there is certainly a presidential memoranda of notification (or several) that broadly authorizes the covert collection efforts in Iran. Moreover, assuredly the Senate and House intelligence committees have been briefed often and thoroughly about the CIA's use of the Sentinel over Iran. Since Iran is among the most important intelligence collection priority, it would only make sense for the United States to utilize its most advanced capabilities, just as the U-2 spy plane was a half-century ago. The United States has reportedly been flying drones of various capabilities and missions over Iran since as early as April 2004, some of which Iranians believed to be UFOs. The following year, Iran protested the drone flights to the United States through Swiss diplomatic channels, and via letters to the U.N. Security Council, demanding "an end to such unlawful acts." The RQ-170 Sentinel drone itself, pictures of which were first published in 2007, had flown from Afghan airbases over Iran "for years," according to the Associated Press. (Of course, Iran also flies surveillance drones against U.S. military assets, as demonstrated in this grainy video of the USS Ronald Reagan.) Continue reading at Foreign Policy.

I am wondering if single or two officer cars are safer and why
|
It is much safer for two officers to be in a car for many reasons: back-up, two pairs of eyes, two whom can call, etc. As a cost savings idea, many communities have limited one officer to the car with tragic effects. For example, an officer in our community was gunned down last year and had no way to call for help as it all happened so quickly, and he was out of his car.

Looking for two Turkish recipes
|
Hello r/turkey,
I hope I'm in the right place here... As for a little background: I'll be moving from Germany to Canada soon. Of course moving countries means that there are some foods that you just can't get there like you could at home... Unfortunately, in my case the food that I will probably have the hardest time to get will be two Turkish specialties that are pretty widely available in Cologne. I was hoping that perhaps you could point me in the right direction?
The first thing I'd like to make is a "spicy, creamy spread" that is probably based on sheep cheese (?) and seems to have some sort of hot peppers in it (it has kind of a rose to orange-y colour). Unfortunately in this case I don't even know the Turkish name of the dish... The second thing I would love to learn how to make is a meat-free variety of Köfte, since I am absolutely addicted to the stuff!
I'm not afraid to use Google translate if you have a Turkish source for recipes, so please share! :) Thanks a ton in advance!
