In this paper, we analyze different types of sharing economy services. The sharing economy is a wide concept where many types of activities and services can be included. Overall we aim to identify recurrent patterns but also similarities and differences between different types of sharing services. We discuss a multitude of different services, e.g. car pools, bike pools, sharing of tools and equipm
The compressibility of a protein relates to its stability, flexibility, and hydrophobic interactions, but the measurement, interpretation, and computation of this important thermodynamic parameter present technical and conceptual challenges. Here, we present a theoretical analysis of protein compressibility and apply it to molecular dynamics simulations of four globular proteins. Using additively
The effect of adrenalectomy (Adx) on pancreatic lipase and colipase activities in normal, streptozotocin-induced diabetic, and obese Zucker rats was studied. It was found that Adx induced a rapid decrease in amylase activity, a rapid increase in lipase activity, and a slow increase in colipase activity in normal rats. Twenty days after Adx, the levels of amylase activity were 70% lower than contro
Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibited cholecystokinin (CCK)-induced maximal amylase release from rat pancreatic acini by 18, 31, and 46% at concentrations of 100, 300, and 750 microM, respectively, after 30 min preincubation. Genistein similarly decreased amylase release stimulated by bombesin but not that stimulated by secretin or vasoactive intestinal peptide. The steps of stimulus-s
We propose a representation of the Indian summer monsoon rainfall in terms of a probabilistic model based on a Markov random field consisting of discrete state variables representing low and high rainfall at grid-scale and daily rainfall patterns across space and in time. These discrete states are conditioned on observed daily gridded rainfall data from the period 2000 to 2007. The model gives us
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) fueled by hydrogen are considered to be most suitable for automotive applications owing to their fast dynamics and high power densities. However, the performances are limited primarily by processes in PEMFCs appeared in the catalyst layers (CLs), which highly dependon themicroscopic structure-related properties.TheCLs at both the anode and cathode h
The article describes a new method for determining the biological age (BV) of a person, developed by a team of authors: A. Skrebneva, V. Popov, A. Buslova. The goal and objectives are to develop a new method for assessing BV with determining its validity and usefulness for predicting the rate of aging in the framework of a large national sample of people. Material and methods. For the work, anonym
A convenient mapping and an efficient algorithm for solving scheduling problems within the neural network paradigm is presented. It is based on a reduced encoding scheme and a mean field annealing prescription which was recently successfully applied to TSP.Most scheduling problems are characterized by a set of hard and soft constraints. The prime target of this work is the hard constraints. In thi
We discuss our model for soft colour interactions and present results on the diffractive structure function F2D(β, xℙ, Q2) and inclusive transverse energy flows, which agree with available HERA data.
We discuss some aspects of the current status of event generators for small-x DIS. In particular we report on recent results using the CCFM evolution implemented in the SMALLX and CASCADE program concerning the importance of the so-called consistency constraint, and compare with the linked dipole chain model implemented in the LDC program. We point out some potential problems with the resolved vir
