Abstract Background A number of membrane-spanning proteins possess enzymatic activity and catalyze important reactions involving proteins, lipids or other substrates located within or near lipid bilayers.Alkaline ceramidases are seven-transmembrane proteins that hydrolyze the amide bond in ceramide to form sphingosine.Recently, a group of putative
A fiber laser-pumped high-power burst-mode-operated picosecond mid-infrared (IR) laser at 3.8 μm is reported.A gain-switched distributed Bragg reflector laser diode with a pulse repetition rate (PRR) of 138 MHz and pulse duration around 200 ps was applied as the seed laser of a Single Inlet 5 Way Water Valve master oscillator power amplifier
Abstract.The field of data science related to the processing of three-dimensional objects is becoming more and more relevant.After the successes in image processing, the apotheosis of which was the development of generative neural net-works, the intensification of efforts in the direction of three-dimensional data processing looks logical.Although
The emerging and booming of electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storages (ESs) endow power systems extra flexibility thanks to their ES capability.The charging and discharging activities of these facilities can be dispersed to perform demand response and benefit power grid operations.However, synchronous discharging from massive EVs and ESs may impo
SCCmec elements are very important mobile genetic elements in Staphylococci that carry beta-lactam resistance genes mecA/mecC, recombinase genes and a variety of accessory genes.Twelve main types and a couple of variants have yet been described.In addition, there are also other SCC elements harbouring other markers.In order to subtype strains of me
