Extensibility techniques

There are six subunits in the asymmetric unit of the Panuliris structure, arranged in a particle best described as a trimer of dimers. The 3-2 symmetry was good enough to be useful in a phase extension technique commonly used in the structure determination of highly symmetric viruses. Unfortunately, these crystals diffract only to 3.2 A, so that there cannot be a high level of detail available for description of the active site. Nevertheless, because there are six independent copies of the molecule in the asymmetric unit, there is more information than might normally be available at this resolution. The structure has been carefully refined at this resolution, with and without the 3-2 symmetry restraint. The estimated coordinate error is —0.35 A. The overall R is 0.201 for data between 8 and 3.2 A. Surprisingly, while the overalls for subunits 1 and... 

Existing agricultural policy and extension techniques are not successful in increasing soil fertility. The recommendations of Lynn (1937) to improve soil fertility and food security in 1937 (Box 1) are the same as the focus of Ministry of Food and Agriculture in 2005 (GV2020 2005). 

Much has been written on participatory extension techniques. In principle it is a continuous process of assessing a situation, analysing it and taking action to improve the situation (Box 7). 

Organic agriculture and participatory extension techniques belong with each other. Experiences... 

The microstructure of a material can only be viewed in a light microscope after a specimen has been properly prepared. Metallurgists have developed extensive techniques and accumulated knowledge of metal specimen preparations for over a century. In principle, we can use these techniques to examine not only metallic materials but also ceramics and polymers in practice, certain modifications are needed and a certain degree of caution must be exercised. The main steps of specimen preparation for light microscopy include the following. 

This paper concerns the synthesis of a new telechelic polyisobutylene diol, a, a)-di (hydroxy) po lyi so-butylene (formula IV in Scheme I), and the preparation of new linear polyurethanes containing polyisobutylene (PIB) soft segments by the use of this diol and conv-ventional extension techniques with TDI. 

There are many different approaches to handling boundaries. One possibility is to extend the sequence to an infinite one in some suitable way and then apply the standard DWT to the extension. Example extension techniques include extension by constant-padding, by periodicity, by reflection and by... 

Another difficulty that arises with data sets is the non-standard size or length. That is, the DFT assumes a data size equal to a power of 2 which is not normally the size of spectra or other similar discrete data. When the data set size is a power of 2 (such as in an image), periodic extension with the DFT inherently handles such a situation. However, with non-standard sizes, some form of extension up to a power of 2 is usually performed, thereby allowing the application of the periodised DFT. This we also investigate in the context of the boundary extension techniques. 

The major advantage of periodic extension is that no additional coefficients are required (if the number of data points is a power of 2) and it preserves the orthogonality of the DWT. However, if singular end-effects owing to nonperiodicity is a major concern, then consideration should be given to using other extension techniques, such as symmetric extension. 

Boundary handling using wavelets on an interval The extension techniques for boundary handling so far investigated are quite useful, producing the desired effect - as long as the appropriate technique is used for the data set at hand. However, a more obvious approach is to directly construct the wavelet on the interval [0, K]. 

This would avoid any of the unpleasant side-effects such as singularities arising from many extension methods. Various approaches have been suggested including, Meyer s boundary wavelets [3] and dyadic boundary wavelets [4]. Though these wavelet construction methods are more elegant compared with the simpler boundary extension techniques, their implementation is considerably more involved. They also have some of their own... 

Generally, we acquire data sequences with arbitrary lengths that are not a power of 2. One approach is to shorten the data sequence to a length equal to a power of 2 by clipping one or both ends of the sequence. However, this may cause a loss of relevant information, particularly if the important information resides at the ends of sequence. Therefore, to avoid the possible loss of information, we extend the data sequence by using one of the boundary extension techniques prior to applying the DWT/WPT. The DWT/WPT is inherently periodic with a period equal to a power of 2 and can be applied once the boundary extension method has been implemented. 

The stmctures of HA and FA are not yet determined. A combination of many techniques is required to determine the structure of HSs. Schulten et al. have employed p)>Tolysis-gas chromatography with electron impact and field ionisation mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), in-source pyrolysis-field ionisation mass spectrometry (Py-FIMS), CP/MS NMR, oxidative and reductive degradation, colloid chemical methods, and electron microscopy to develop a carbon network structure for soil HS (Schulten (1994), Schulten and Schnitzer (1993)). The elemental composition of FLA was C3()8H32s09oN5 fot MW of 5540 Da. This indicates of the complexity of such compounds and the extensive techniques required. If carbohydrates or proteinaceous materials are bonded covalently with HA, %C content decreases and %0 content increases.

Quantitation of bile acid synthesis. Bulk measurement of fecal bile acids with GLC (cf. 5) is quite simple at the moment and has been widely used for quantitation of total bile acid synthesis. The use of nonpolar capillary column is preferable for routin work. The complexity of the fecal bile acid mixture requires extensive technique for quantitation of individual bile acids of cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid origin or their different conjugates. According to our experience about 80% of the fecal bile acids in normal feces can be identified with a reasonable accuracy from the GLC run on capillary column to originate from either cholic or chenodeoxycholic acid. Usually litho and deoxycholic acids are major fractions but sometimes 38-OH bile acids can predominate. In bile acid malabsorption 7-dehydr-oxylated derivatives are frequentl3 lacking or small and the presence of 7 3-011 and/or ketonic transformation products can be conspicious (see Fig. 1). 

Table I shows key process parameters at Fangyuan smelting plant for January 2012 compared with the initial design. It can be seen that flie average concentrate feed rate has been increased from initially designed 32 to the current 70 dry t/h. This means that the productivity has been doubled as a result of extensive technique development at Dongying Fangyuan Nonferrous Metals. The current feed rate is limited by the capability of oxygen production and add plant. It is expected that more concentrate can be treated in the bottom blown furnace with expanded oxygen and acid plants.
