The effects of laser irradiation on the mechanical response of polycrystalline zirconium (Zr) have been investigated. Zr samples were irradiated with an excimer (KrF) laser ( λ ≈ 248 nm, τ ≈ 18 ns and repetition rate ≈30 Hz). The irradiation was performed in the ambient environment of a gas mixture containing (CO 2 :N…

Abstract A dual-sugar nanogel containing proteins was prepared by a simple mixing of schizophyllan (SPG) in NaOH (0.25 M), cholesterol-hydrophobized dextran (CH-CDex) in NaH2PO4 solution, and BSA. It was found that this nanogel was specifically taken up by SPG receptors present on antigen presenting cells.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58 can utilize d-galacturonate as a sole source of carbon via a pathway in which the first step is oxidation of d-galacturonate to D-galactaro-1,5-lactone. We have identified a novel enzyme, D-galactarolactone isomerase (GLI), that catalyzes the isomerizaton of D-galactaro-1,5-lactone…
