The ability to conserve energy in the presence or absence of oxygen provides a metabolic versatility that confers an advantage in natural ecosystems.The switch between alternative electron transport systems is controlled by the fumarate nitrate reduction transcription factor (FNR) that senses oxygen via an oxygen-sensitive [4Fe-4S]2+ iron-sulfur cl… Read More

A fully coupled hydro-servo-aero-elastic simulator for the analysis of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is presented.All physical aspects are addressed, and the corresponding equations are concurrently solved within the same computational framework, taking into account the wind and wave excitations, the aerodynamic response of the rotor, the… Read More

The present work is phenomenological and purely descriptive.It shows polymorphism of colors in a breeding group of mini-pig in the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICG SB RAS) and makes some assumptions about the nature of this genetic diversity.In the ICG SB RAS mini-pig herd, wild-type … Read More

In the past three decades Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai have realised a meteoric economic rise.Whereas the former two can be considered ‘rentier states’ heavily depending on oil (and gas) revenues, the latter only leans on oil for a mere 6% of its gross domestic product (GDP).Although the economic rise has brought considerable welfare, it … Read More

Abstract Cough and Cold Relief Introduction In the era of modern techniques for the early diagnosis and revascularization of myocardial infarction, post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect is rarely seen.However, this potentially fatal complication of ischemic cardiac events cannot always be detected and diagnosed in a straightforward p… Read More
