Alkaline protease was extracted by liquid culture of Bacillus licheniformis NO.2709. This product is an enzyme preparation catalyzing protein hydrolysis under alkaline condition (PH during 9-12). It is suitable for industries such as enzymatic detergent, leather depilation, silk degumming, and protein hydrolysis.

"A second phenomenon which did a lot of harm to the European universities, was the lasting glorification of the American higher education system. Many politicians, but also scientists themselves, see this system as a permanent source of excellence and success without-as US scientist Martin Trow (1997) writes-getting the general picture of the American higher education system. Attention is directed exclusively at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, and other Ivy-League universities, which make up only a small percentage of the university landscape in the US. In this euphoria, it is intentionally overlooked that the majority of colleges and universities displays an intellectually modest standard and hardly contributes to academic progress. Much of what we celebrate as "globalization" and "adjustment to international standards" is in reality the adjustment to US-American provincialism (Fröhlich interview)."

Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) in combination with cluster analysis was used to assess 296 spring wheat lines derived from a cross between Bam (drought tolerant) and Arta (drought sensitive) cultivars using stress tolerance indices, at two

Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are the most important legume staple food in Kenya coming second to maize. In Central Highlands of Kenya, the 0.4-0.5ton ha-1 output is below the genetic yield potential of 1.5-2ton ha-1 partly due pests and diseases. Plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) have been reported to cause yield losses of up to 60% on beans. Though bean production is important in the Central highlands of Kenya, information on PPN associated with the beans in the region is lacking. This study was therefore undertaken to establish the diversity of PPN associated with common beans and to assess the root knot nematode damage on beans in the region. The study covered 50 farms (32 in Kirinyaga and 18 in Embu Counties) distributed in eight localities namely Kibirigwi (L1), Makutano (L2), Kagio (L3), Mwea (L4) and Kutus (L5) in Kirinyaga County and Nembure (L6), Manyatta (L7) and Runyenjes (L8) in Embu County and covering three Agro Ecological Zones (AEZs); UM2 (L1, L2, L3 & L4), UM3 (L5, L7 & L8) and UM4 (L6) AEZs. Manyatta (L7) and Nembure (L6), had the highest and second highest gall indices, respectively, while Kibirigwi (L1), Makutano (L2) and Mwea (L4) had some of the lowest gall indices. The most common PPN in bean roots were Meloidogyne spp. Pratylenchus spp. and Scutellonema spp. with a frequency of 94.38%, 78.25% and 59.13%, respectively. This further confirm the importance of these nematodes in bean production systems. Upper Midland 3 (UM3) AEZs and UM4 had higher nematode population densities and diversity than UM2. Disease severity and nematode composition and distribution were notably low in the irrigated areas Kibirigwi, Kagio and Mwea compared to rain-fed areas such as Makutano, Nembure and Manyatta.

Theresa May will chair a Cobra emergency committee meeting following the seizure of a UK-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on 19 July 2019. The Stena Impero vessel was surrounded by four Iranian vessels and a helicopter before being boarded then redirected from its passage to Jubail towards Iran.

The Iraqi Drilling Company (IDC) has signed a contract with the Dhi Qar Oil Company to drill 20 new oil wells in the Nasiriyah oil field in Southern Iraq for a fee of $128m over two years. The deal was authorised by the Iraqi Ministry of Oil on 11 September.

The contamination and potential ecological risk posed by heavy metals from thirteen (13) sediment samples from different sampling sites along the lower portion of Agusan River were analyzed and assessed using different pollution indices. The results obtained shows that the total digest concentrations of different heavy metals under investigation have the following order: Cd < Pb < Zn < Mn, for both first sampling periods. The speciation and distribution pattern have shown that significant amounts of all metals are present in the residual fraction. Similarly, oxide-bound and organic-bound fractions were found to be highly important for Zn and Mn while Cd and Pb were significantly associated in the residual and exchangeable fractions. The results of different pollution indices moreover, showed that among all the heavy metals being studied, Cd posed the highest environmental risk across all sampling stations in both sampling periods and Mn metal was highly enriched and abundant in all of the sampling stations. Importantly, PCA results suggest that Zn, Mn and Pb may have the same origin while Cd might be coming from different sources, and this is corroborated well with the cluster analysis results. The results obtained from this work provide baseline data on the assessment of heavy metal pollution in the lower portion of Agusan River. Importantly, the acquired environmental indices will certainly help safety managers in assessing and interpreting the potential risk of the sediment associated chemical status that might adversely affect aquatic organisms in the selected sampling sites.

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced remarkable growth and development in recent years, pushing the boundaries of what was once thought possible. In this article, we'll explore the current state of AI evolution and where this fascinating field is heading in the future. We'll delve into various aspects of AI development, including machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and AI ethics, as well as the role of quantum computing in AI's future.

"Die Universitäten von heute haben ein Problem: Ihnen gehen die Mythen verloren. Als die Alchemisten früher ihre Säfte zusammenmischten, konnte es knallen oder Gold regnen. Darwin und Humboldt erkundeten eine Welt, in der es überall vor allem zwei Dinge gab: Abenteuer und Gefahr. Heute gibt es keine Kontinente mehr zu entdecken, kein Gold zu destillieren.

Geblieben ist theoretischer Wettstreit: Wer entwickelt eine noch abgefahrenere Theorie? Ein noch besseres Modell? Das ist nicht nichts. Aber etwas fehlt. Bei unserer Arbeit vollbringen wir keine Wunder, keine Narben zeugen von Heldenmut.Vielleicht gibt es deshalb so viele neurotische Profs: Sie müssen den Verlust des Abenteuers in ihrem Forscherleben kompensieren"

"Die Forscher selbst sind von den Ergebnissen etwas überrascht - sie hatten genau den umgekehrten Effekt erwartet. So zeigten viele frühere Forschungsarbeiten, dass Selbstkontrolle offenbar eine begrenzte Ressource ist. Es ist zum Beispiel schwieriger ist, nicht über eine Tüte Chips herzufallen, wenn man sich bereits darauf konzentriert, einem anderen Verlangen zu widerstehen. Tuk ist jedoch der Meinung, dass bei der Blasenkontrolle ein anderer Mechanismus wirkt, weil diese großenteils automatisch und unbewusst abläuft.

Scientist recently discovered the first ever Earth-like planet. The discovery was announced on 5th December 2011.

Birger's find. It would be nice to know exactly where the sites are - presumably in the Pilbara somewhere.

"Sogar kurzfristige Störungen im Schlafrhythmus können schon negative Auswirkungen haben, zeigten Studien: Probanden, deren Schlaf in drei Nächten wiederholt gestört wurde, bekamen vorübergehend Symptome von Diabetes. Die Wissenschaftler um Philippe Froguel vom Imperial College in London konnten die Verbindung zwischen Schlafrhythmus und Diabetes nun mit genetischen Studien untermauern: Die Studie belegt die Rolle des Melatonins."

"Frühere Studien hatten bereits darauf hingewiesen, dass unnatürliche Konzentrationen bestimmter weiblicher Hormone und deren Nebenprodukte Krebserkrankungen in Geweben begünstigen können, die sensibel auf Hormone reagieren, wie beispielsweise in Brust, Gebärmutter, Schilddrüse, Hoden und eben auch in der Prostata. Die Formen des Östrogens, wie sie im Zusammenhang mit der hormonellen Verhütung entstehen, werden im Körper und auch in der Umwelt nur sehr langsam abgebaut. Sie reichern sich dadurch in der Nahrungskette und im Trinkwasser an und gelangen so in geringen, aber vermutlich effektiven Dosen zurück in die Körper der gesamten Bevölkerung. Forscher hatten deshalb bereits einen ökologischen Effekt der hormonellen Verhütung vermutet. Die aktuelle Studie untermauert diesen Zusammenhang nun mit statistischen Daten. "
