Bacterial Glycosulphatases and Sulphomucin Degradation by Anthony M Roberton, Damian P Wright

“…At present this term can only be qualitatively related to the percentage of sulphate in the mucin molecule, which makes the term difficult to use in a biochemical and functional sense. Sulphomucins are thought to carry out the normal functions attributed to mucins; in addition, heavy sulphation rate-limits the degradation of mucins by bacterial mucin-degrading glycosidases. …”

A Novel Drive Option for Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Transducers by Diana Engelke, Bernd Oehme, Jens Strackeljan

“…A novel drive option, where the stack contains a new type of divided piezoelectric rings, is analyzed using the finite element method, prototyped, and tested. To gain a better sense of the vibration behavior, the studies focus initially on one ring and subsequently on the different possibilities to assemble the transducer. …”

Reassembling and remembering - the politics of reconciliation in South Africa by J. Kruger

“…The latter notion is understood in a Platonic-Augustinian fashion – following the interpretation of the contemporary philosophical-theological movement of Radical Orthodoxy – as a diffuse recognition of the other within the self, whereby the politics of reconciliation is, in an important sense, broadened to encompass the interior, psychic and, ultimately, spiritual aspects of the relation between the self and the other. …”

Impact of Direct Payment Reform of CAP 2014–2020 on the Economy of Agricultural Enterprises in Slovakia by Jana Prevužňáková, Peter Serenčéš, Marián Tóth

“…As the results in chosen enterprises in Slovakia proved, these changes have a negative effect on the enterprises which are mainly the large ones with the low sales as well as the small salaries paid per hectare in comparison with the rest of the companies in Slovakia. In sense of effectiveness and rural development we do consider planned changes in direct payments as rational.…”

Performing Dissent: Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson before HUAC (1955-1956) by Jodie Childers

“…While Seeger’s testimony in August 1955 championed individual liberty and freedom of speech, using the First Amendment as the foundation for his position, Robeson’s testimony delivered in June 1956 invoked an internationalist sense of social justice, linking left-wing politics, the civil rights movement within the United States, and decolonization efforts around the world.…”

Writing Out of Place: Wordsworth and Woolf in London by Laurent Folliot, Juliana Lopoukhine

“…Although Wordsworth’s country rambles have often been associated with the kind of patriarchal culture epitomised by Woolf’s father Leslie Stephen (who even penned an essay entitled “In Praise of Walking”), the London perambulations recounted in Book VII of The Prelude present suggestive analogies, as well as contrasts, with Woolf’s Modernist city heuristics. Both were, in a sense, outsiders to the metropolitan space they negotiated in writing, and both were keenly aware of living through a moment of historical crisis and opportunity. …”

Conformable Fractional-Order Modeling and Analysis of HIV/AIDS Transmission Dynamics by Esam Y. Salah, Bhausaheb Sontakke, Mohammed S. Abdo, Wasfi Shatanawi, Kamaleldin Abodayeh, M. Daher Albalwi

“…The mathematical model of the dynamics of HIV/AIDS infection transmission is developed by adding the set of infected but noninfectious persons, using a conformable fractional derivative in the Liouville–Caputo sense. Some fixed point theorems are applied to this model to investigate the existence and uniqueness of the solutions. …”

A review on three‐dimensional graphene: Synthesis, electronic and biotechnology applications‐The Unknown Riddles by Pradheep Thiyagarajan

“…Abstract In the last decade, carbon‐based nanostructures such as buckyball (C60), carbon nanotube (CNT), graphene and three‐dimensional (3D) graphene have been identified as promising materials for electronic, electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), optical and sensing applications. Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, scientists have devised mass production techniques and explored graphene as a promising material for a wide range of applications. …”
