The effects of varying the cationic sequence of oligotryptophan-tagged antimicrobial peptides were investigated in terms of peptide adsorption to model lipid membranes, liposome leakage induction, and antibacterial potency. Heptamers of lysine (K7) and arginine (R7) were lytic against Escherichia coli bacteria at low ionic strength. In parallel, both peptides adsorbed on to bilayers formed by E. c
Although the Mongolic language group consists of ten rather closely related languages, there is no consensus in the literature about the classification of the languages into subgroups. One reason for this is the occurrence of more or less independent phonological innovations which are difficult to order in time and which may have spread geographically rather than genetically. All Mongolic language
The Italian political philosopher Giorgio Agamben's conclusion that the camp has replaced the city as the biopolitical paradigm of the West is as difficult to digest as it is easy to see how it responds to contemporary political tendencies in the world today. In this introduction to this theme issue on Giorgio Agamben and the spatialities of the camp, a detailed exposition emulating the structure
The transition quadrupole moments Q(t) for the superdeformed band in Ca-40 have been determined through thin-target Doppler-shift attenuation analyses. A best-fit value of Q(t)=1.30+/-0.05 e b is obtained when a single value is assumed for the entire band. Fitting separate quadrupole moments for in-band transitions decaying from the high-spin states and the presumably admixed low-spin states resul
It is widely recognized that judicial independence is an indispensable value of a modern democracy. When a country wishes to adopt this value, questions may arise, such as what it is and how to develop it properly? This thesis explores the issue of judicial independence in two aspects: theoretical and practical. For the theoretical aspect, it first examines the rule of law and protection of human
The ISO standard tapping machine, used as an excitation source in rating the impact-sound level of a floor structure, interacts with the floor structure during the hammer impact. Expressions for the force spectrum due to the impact are presented. The 6 dB difference at low frequencies of the force spectrum, evident in measurements, and reasons for it, are discussed. The interaction is investigated
In this article it is argued that a peculiar dichotomy between pro-Hebrews and pro-Pauline readers has been construed in Jewish-Christians relations, which has resulted in Hebrews being read differently, compared to the Pauline epistles.
As has been commonly recognised, the Internet enables a transcendence of physical and national boundaries and therefore constitutes an ideal place for forging diasporic connections. There is no denying that the Internet has the potential to greatly affect how diasporic identities and senses of belonging are formed; the question is how, and in what online context? This article investigates a cluste
To provide for a high QoS in a cellular network, each call should be assigned to its preferred cell and priority given to already ongoing calls. Herein, a combined speed-sensitive layer selection method and dynamic guard channel scheme, called CLARR, for use in hierarchical networks, is introduced. To reduce the complexity, partially the same speed estimation and measurement procedures are applied
Artiklarna i denna antologi belyser hur nutida forskningsrön och vetenskaplig diskussion om frågor som kaos och komplexitet, förutsägbarhet och kausalitet, emergens och ordning påverkar traditionella religiösa och vetenskapliga tankar om oförutsägbarhet, slump, ändamål och skapelse. Teologer och naturvetare från sekulär, protestantisk, katolsk och ortodox tradition visar hur ordning och oordning h
