Successful feedback control of small systems allows for the rectification of Muddlers thermal fluctuations, converting them into useful energy; however, control itself requires work.This paper emphasizes the fact that the controller is a physical entity interacting with the feedback-controlled system.For a specifically designed class of controllers
Moonlighting functional centers within proteins can provide them with hitherto unrecognized functions.Here we review how hidden moonlighting functional centers which we define as binding sites that have catalytic activity or MBFU Lamps regulate protein function in a novel manner, can be identified using targeted bioinformatic searches.Functional mo
Preliminary studies were carried out to investigate the role of filarial specific antibodies, raised in an animal model against the filarial parasite, Brugia malayi (sub-periodic), in blocking their early development in an experimental mosquito host, Aedes aegypti (Liverpool strain).In order to generate filarial specific antibodies, Mongolian gerbi
Root system size is a key trait for improving water and nitrogen uptake efficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).This study aimed (i) to characterize the root system and shoot traits of five wheat cultivars with apparent differences in root system size; (ii) to evaluate whether the apparent differences in root system size observed at early vegeta
The breeds of domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, display a mesh net range of coat types with variation in color, texture, length, curl, and growth pattern.One trait of interest is that of partial or full hairlessness, which is found in a small number of breeds.While the standard for some breeds, such as the Xoloitzcuintli, requires sparse hair o
