ß-barrel Channel Proteins as Tools in Nanotechnology
by Marco Fioroni Tamara Dworeck Francisco Rodriguez-Roperoß-barrel outer membrane channel proteins (OMP) are useful as robust and flexible models or components in nanotechnology. Over the last decade biotechnological techniques allowed to expand the natural characteristics of OMPs by modifying their geometry and properties. The present book is oriented towards a broad group of readers including graduate students and advanced researchers. It gives a general introduction to the field of OMP based nano-component development as well as the state of the art of the involved research. On the example of the E. coli FhuA the transformation of an OMP into a tailored nano-channel will be outlined. An exhaustive description of the scientific strategy, including protein selection, analytical methods and "in-silico" tools to support the planning of protein modifications for a targeted application, consideration on the production of a custom made OMP, and an overview on technological applications including membrane/polymersome technology, will be provided.
Αυτοκίνητα και αξεσουάρ αυτοκινήτων: Τα γκατζετάκια που εξατομικεύουν την πολυτέλεια… (Πώς να... #123)
by Όουεν ΤζόουνςΑυτοκίνητα και αξεσουάρ αυτοκινήτων Τα γκατζετάκια που εξατομικεύουν την πολυτέλεια… Υπάρχουν πολλά είδη αυτοκινήτων. Υπάρχουν τα «οικογενειακά» που διευκολύνουν τις καθημερινότητές μας· υπάρχουν αυτά για τις βαριές εργασίες, τα βανάκια, οι νταλίκες και τα φορτηγά, και τα ονειρικά αυτοκίνητα… Ωστόσο, έχει καταφτάσει μια νέα κατηγορία: τα υβριδικά. Η γέννηση των σύγχρονων υβριδικών οχημάτων με τους δύο κινητήρες τους έλαβε μια αμφίβολη πρώτη ακρόαση από την αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία και το κοινό. Το κόστος ήταν απίστευτο και το βάρος των δύο κινητήρων σε ένα όχημα ακουγόταν ανέφικτο. Όλοι ξέρουμε πως εξελίχθηκε αυτό, αλλά ξέρεις πόσο καιρό η ανθρωπότητα πράγματι χρησιμοποιεί υβριδικά;
Υπολογιστές: ... και διάφορα άλλα! (Πώς να... #76)
by Όουεν ΤζόουνςΟι πληροφορίες αυτού του ηλεκτρονικού βιβλίου σχετικά με διάφορες πτυχές των υπολογιστών, των περιφερειακών συσκευών και σχετικών θεμάτων είναι οργανωμένες σε 21 κεφάλαια περίπου 500-600 λέξεων το καθένα. Ελπίζω ότι θα ενδιαφέρει όσους ενδιαφέρονται για τους υπολογιστές, το διαδίκτυο, τις περιφερειακές συσκευές, τα ηλεκτρονικά συστήματα και τη χρήση τους με πρακτικό τρόπο. Ως μπόνους, σου δίνω την άδεια να χρησιμοποιήσεις το περιεχόμενο στον προσωπικό σου ιστότοπο ή το δικό σου blog και ενημερωτικό δελτίο, αν και καλό θα ήταν να τα ξαναγράψεις πρώτα με δικά σου λόγια. Μπορείς ακόμα να χωρίσεις το βιβλίο και να μεταπωλήσεις τα άρθρα. Στην πραγματικότητα, το μόνο δικαίωμα που δεν έχεις είναι να μεταπωλήσεις ή να μοιράσεις το βιβλίο έτσι όπως σου παραδόθηκε.
β-Casomorphins: A1 Milk, Milk Peptides and Human Health
by Mohammad Raies Ul HaqThis book compiles the latest research on the A1 and A2 forms of cow milk, and attempts to show a correlation between the type of cow milk consumption and reported incidence of certain diseases (type 1 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, sudden infant death syndrome and neurological disorders). Cow milk generally contains two types of β-casein, A1 or A2. The book describes the A1/A2 hypothesis, its foundation and the genetics behind it. It discusses the two forms of milk and why one is considered more harmful than the other. Seeking to provide a balanced view of the milk types, the book’s initial chapters highlight the structure, function and physiological activity of β-casomorphins. Subsequent sections describe the health concerns associated with A1 milk, and the various case studies and research surrounding it. In turn, the arguments against the hypothesis put forward by EFSA, American Nutritionists and Truswell are also highlighted. The book does not make any recommendations for dairy consumers; rather, it is a collection of essential data both in favour and against the hypothesis. Further mechanistic studies involving well-designed animal and human trials at the cellular, molecular, biochemical and immunological levels will be needed in order to draw sound conclusions. Overall, the hypothesis is fascinating, and possibly significant. However, verified and authenticated research with reproducible results is needed to make final consumer recommendations. This timely book offers a valuable resource for researchers and students of dairy science, as well as industry experts.

Сooperation and Sustainable Development (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems #245)
by Aleksei V. Bogoviz Alexander E. Suglobov Olga V. Kaurova Alexander N. MaloletkoThis book presents a systematic view of the cooperative sector of the economy from the standpoint of sustainable development. On the one hand, the book reveals the consequences of business cooperation for the implementation of global sustainable development goals, primarily in terms of environmental protection and food security. On the other hand, the book defines the essence of sustainable development of the cooperative sector of the economy as a demonstrative economic practice that reflects the general state of socio-economic systems. Scientific, methodological, and applied recommendations for the systemic optimization of the management of the cooperative sector of the economy in the interests of simultaneously achieving its maximum positive impact on the implementation of sustainable development goals, as well as maintaining its stability are proposed.The book contains the best works based on the results of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Cooperation and Sustainable Development”, which was held on December 15-16, 2020. Its target audience is scientists studying processes of business structures cooperation, business entities carrying out cooperation, as well as public authorities, which will find guidelines for improving state regulation of the cooperative sector of the economy in this book.
‘Going Native?': Settler Colonialism and Food (Food and Identity in a Globalising World)
by Alejandro Colás Daniel Monterescu Ronald RantaThis volume offers a comparative survey of diverse settler colonial experiences in relation to food, food culture and foodways - how the latter are constructed, maintained, revolutionised and, in some cases, dissolved. What do settler colonial foodways and food cultures look like? Are they based on an imagined colonial heritage, do they embrace indigenous repertoires or invent new hybridised foodscapes? What are the socio-economic and political dynamics of these cultural transformations? In particular, this volume focuses on three key issues: the evolution of settler colonial identities and states; their relations vis-à-vis indigenous populations; and settlers’ self-indigenisation – the process through which settlers transform themselves into the native population, at least in their own eyes. These three key issues are crucial in understanding settler-indigenous relations and the rise of settler colonial identities and states.
