Quantitative determination of protein of bacterial origin on the basis of D-aspartic acid and D-glutamic acid content

G. Pohn J. Schmidt É Csokona É Varga-Visi Zs Csapó-Kiss J. Csapó

Publication Name: Chromatographia

Publication Date: 2002-01-01

Volume: 56

Issue: SUPPL.

Page Range: S169-S171

Description:

In recent decades several methods have been developed for determination of the proportion of nitrogen-containing substances passed from the rumen into the abomasum, or small intestine, which are of microbial origin. Recently, when examining the D-amino acid content of foodstuffs, particularly milk and milk products, it was observed that, in addition to D-alanine (D-Ala), D-glutamic acid (D-Glu) and D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) can also be detected in similar quantities, primarily in products which have links with bacterial activity. This gave rise to the idea of examining the diaminopimelic acid (DAPA), D-Glu, and D-Asp content of bacteria extracted from the rumen of cattle, and that of chyme from the same cattle, to establish whether D-Asp and D-Glu can be used to estimate protein of bacterial origin. The investigations performed have provided evidence that both D-Asp and D-Glu might be appropriate for determination of protein of bacterial origin. The results obtained using these two bacterial markers (D-Asp and D-Glu) proved to be approximately 10% lower than those obtained using DAPA; this was not because of to error attributable to the new markers but rather to the unreliability of determination using DAPA Analyses performed on samples of known bacterial protein content indicate that D-Asp and D-Glu gave almost identical results for bacterial protein content which were very close to the theoretical (calculated) values.

Algorithm for D-V cells and fundamental domains, E4 space groups with broken translations in the icosahedral family

László Ács Emil Molnár

Publication Name: Journal for Geometry and Graphics

Publication Date: 2002-01-01

Volume: 6

Issue: 1

Page Range: 1-16

Description:

As a continuation of our earlier work [2] we extend our algorithm for E4-space groups in the icosahedral family, where non-lattice translations (broken translations) occur as well. So we obtain new 4-polytopes as fundamental domains from D-V cells of crystallographic orbits. We illustrate our situations by some characteristic examples. A computer program will produce further results.

An accelerated digital CNN-UM (CASTLE) architecture by using the pipe-line technique

P. Keresztes Timót Hidvégi Péter Szolgay

Publication Name: Proceedings of the IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications

Publication Date: 2002-01-01

Volume: 2002-January

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 355-362

Description:

Different CNN-UM architecture implementations, analog and emulated digital, were developed. The emulated digital architecture (CASTLE) is accurate but slower than the analog CNN-UMs. It is generally disadvantageous especially if transient computing is critical. The operation speed of the emulated digital implementations, namely CASTLE, can be increased significantly using the pipeline technique. This solution is analyzed with respect to area, time, etc. These arithmetic cores were tested and simulated using a VIRTEX FPGA development system.

Small delay inertial manifolds under numerics: A numerical structural stability result

George R. Sell Gyula Farkas

Publication Name: Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations

Publication Date: 2002-01-01

Volume: 14

Issue: 3

Page Range: 549-588

Description:

In this paper we formulate a numerical structural stability result for delay equations with small delay under Euler discretization. The main ingredients of our approach are the existence and smoothness of small delay inertial manifolds, the C1-closeness of the small delay inertial manifolds and their numerical approximation and M.-C. Li's recent result on numerical structural stability of ordinary differential equations under the Euler method. © 2002 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) as a social game

P. Scharle

Publication Name: Innovation

Publication Date: 2002-01-01

Volume: 15

Issue: 3

Page Range: 227-252

Description:

Discrepancy between social demands and public resources has become apparent in many countries worldwide. Institutions and industries involved in public services seek new forms of collaboration and combine all available public and private skills to circumvent problems. Advocates of public-private partnership (PPP) assess the progress as convincing. Reserved observers argue that the technique has immanent weaknesses. Putting the phenomena, experience, and discussion into a wider context of gaming helps to arrive at a better comprehension. The paper focuses on road transportation infrastructure issues but its conclusions are of broader interest. Four perspectives are chosen to discuss PPP as a gaming issue. Linguistics, the mathematical theory of games, experimental psychology and the theory of institutions offer useful analytical concepts, theorems and approaches. The gaming perspective allows us to identify and define more clearly several uncertain or misinterpreted situations or actions experienced in PPP implementations. The conceptual identification of positions, motivations and further characteristics is not only possible but helps all partners to better understand the structure, the rules and roles given in the procedure. Use of the gaming perspective in PPP issues seems to enhance 'fair play'. Expected trends of development and further areas of suggested research are derived from the conclusions and conjectures. Application of the gaming perspective is recommended in the development of project delivery techniques, education and training.

Effect of subsoiling on the yield of sugar beet under conditions of rhizomania infection.

G. Kuroli Lajos Németh

Publication Name: Mededelingen Rijksuniversiteit Te Gent Fakulteit Van De Landbouwkundige En Toegepaste Biologische Wetenschappen

Publication Date: 2002-01-01

Volume: 67

Issue: 2

Page Range: 321-325

Description:

The rhizomania is known in Hungary since 1982. The causal agent, Beet necrotic yellow vein benyvirus (BNYVV) is transmitted by a soil-borne fungus Polymyxa betae Keskin. A field experiment was done under rhizomania infested and non-infested conditions to compare the yield parameters of five tolerant and four sensitive sugar beet hybrids. Tolerant varieties produced higher root yield under rhizomania infected conditions. The root yields of the sensitive varieties were similar to the tolerant ones on the uninfested field, but the root mass of some tolerant varieties exceeded the production of the former group. Subsoiling was carried out in two strips of a heavily infested field, while conventional soil cultivation was done on the other parts. There was not any other difference in the cultivation of the treated and control areas. Sugar beet root samples were collected at the time of harvesting from the subsoiled and control plots. Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) infection was tested by means of ELISA. Virus content, yield and yield parameters of samples were compared. There were no significant differences in virus infection between sugar beet roots derived from subsoiled and untreated plots. Ratio of BNYVV infected plants was about 90% in both areas. However, yield and yield parameters showed remarkable difference. Root yield of treated plots, calculated from average individual root weight and 80,000 plant/ha plant density exceeded by 140% the yield of control. Sugar content was 2.6% higher and the harmful non-sugar content was lower on the subsoiled plots. Owing to the favourable chemical and technological value of beet the white sugar content was approximately three-times higher on the treated area.

Nectar production, honeybee visitation and fruit set of peach flowers

L. Szalay P. Benedek J. Nyéki Z. Szabó

Publication Name: Acta Horticulturae

Publication Date: 2002-01-01

Volume: 592

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 537-541

Description:

Peach varieties grown in Hungary are self-fertile and set sufficient fruit under favourable weather conditions by natural self-pollination. The literature as well as our observations, suggests that bee pollination enhances fruit set even in selffertile varieties. The nectar production (0.30-9.09 mg/flower) and its dry matter content (12.5-58.1 %) varied widely by variety and sampling date. In relation to other stone fruit species peach was relatively low in nectar production (2.2 mg/flower) as well as in dry matter content (30.5 %). In spite of the low nectar, honeybees frequently visited production peach flowers. The reason for that is due to the early blooming time of peach, when honeybees have less available resources. Under favourable weather conditions (sunshine, calm warm weather) 20 % of the flowers on a branch were visited within a 10-minute period. Thus the same flower received several visits during one day. About half the bees visiting peach flowers were nectar gatherers. Another 27 % were pollen collectors and the remaining 23 % displayed mixed behaviour of collecting both pollen and nectar. The limitation of honeybee visits impaired the fruit set less in peaches than in other stone fruit species. Nevertheless, fruit set was markedly different between open flowers and isolated (bagged) flowers.

Stability properties of positive solutions to partial differential equations with delay

Gyula Farkas Peter L. Simo

Publication Name: Electronic Journal of Differential Equations

Publication Date: 2001-12-01

Volume: 2001

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: XCXXI-XCXXII

Description:

We investigate the stability of positive stationary solutions of semilinear initial-boundary value problems with delay and convex or concave nonlinearity. If the nonlinearity is monotone, then in the convex case /(O) < 0 implies instability and in the concave case /(O) > 0 implies stability. Special cases are shown where the monotonicity assumption can be weakened or omitted. ©2001 Southwest Texas State University.
