AbstractThe phosphorylated acidic glycoproteins bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (OPN) bind to hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals may be involved in the regulation of mineralization. The HA-binding properties these proteins have been attributed glutamic acid-rich sequences BSP aspartic OPN. present study examines roles polycarboxylate binding OPN HA.Porcine BSP, synthetic polypeptides poly-L-glutamic acid [Poly(Glu)] poly-L-aspartic [Poly(Asp)] were labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate...
Bone sialoprotein (BSP) was shown to be a potent nucleator of hydroxy apatite (HA) in steady-state agarose gel system (Hunter and Goldberg, 1993, PNAS 90: 8562). Nucleation HA also demonstrated with the homopolymer poly-glutamic acid but not poly-aspartic or osteopontin. Since BSP contains contiguous sequences glutamic acid, it is reasonable suggest that HA-nucleating activity resides within these regions. Purified porcine treated trypsin digests fractionated by filtration. In addition small...
The nature of the education offered in prisons varies greatly. Provision can be focused narrowly on limited objectives, such as training for employment or seeking to 'address offending behaviour'. On other hand, where prison follows policies Council Europe European Union, which are drawn from traditions adult and life-long learning, it becomes a more comprehensive transformative experience men women held prison. Underpinning these different approaches two very perceptions those prison: one...
China and India are not only the two most populous nations on Earth, they also of rapidly growing economies. Historically, economic social development have been subsidized by cheap abundant fossil-fuels. Climate change from fossil-fuel emissions has resulted in need to reduce order avoid catastrophic warming. If climate goals achieved, will first major economies develop via renewable energy sources. In this article, we examine factors projected population growth, available reserves,...
In December 2015 the nations of world agreed, in principle, to limit global warming no more than 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. order achieve this goal, recent publications have shown that (1) 50% known fossil fuel reserves need remain unused, and (2) timing transition away from fuels needs renewable energy by 2028, an expansion sources 37-fold next 12 years. This rate is unprecedented unlikely be achieved. Even utilizing untapped a <2 scenario results significant 2100. Here we examine...
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to several of the world’s least developed economies. Additionally, forty percent nearly one billion people in this region lack access basic electricity. There are initiatives and programs aimed at increasing electricity access, clean cooking fuel, renewable energy around world. Economic development efforts have traditionally relied on an economy’s use fossil fuels. However, global climate change agreements mitigation direct contrast with approach. As such, future...

Recent reports depict regimes in Irish prisons as ‘inhumane’, and ‘increasingly oppressive destructive’. This deterioration conditions is part of a larger ‘punitive turn’ that can be identified the prison system since late 1990s, also evident huge increase scale incarceration much greater demonisation those held prison. In 1985, Whitaker Report set standards for ‘basic living conditions’ prisons. The mirror similar ones European Prison Rules. For example, both stipulate an imprisoned person...
