Commonality of Virulence-Promoting Function in Rhodococcus equi Virulence Associated Proteins (Vaps) by Timothy R. Ganderton, Daniel Ghete, Karen Hogg, Graeme J. Park, Christoph G. Baumann, Anthony J. Wilkinson, Paul R. Pryor

“…Numerous vap genes are found on virulence plasmids isolated from different species, and the Vaps share a high degree of sequence identity. VapA has been extensively studied, and although vapK and vapN genes from other R. equi virulence plasmids have been shown to be essential for R. equi intracellular survival, their mode of action is less characterised. …”

The concept and significance of registration and permit-licensing procedures in the activities of the National Police by О. А. Bud

“…Attention is focused on the presence of a set of common features of registration and permit-licensing procedures in the activities of the National Police, in particular: this is a sequence of actions regulated by current national legislation; they are carried out by a specific entity, a law enforcement agency - the National Police of Ukraine; in their essence they are a public service activity; the result of such procedures involves mandatory documentation – obtaining a document (permit or license) and/or making changes to registration documents or information databases; they mainly take place in the field of the permit system; they are implemented within the framework of the provision of paid services by police bodies; the initiators of these procedures are individuals and legal entities; they are carried out in relation to individual objects of the permit system and pyrotechnic devices, the manufacture of special devices loaded with tear and irritant substances, individual protection, active defense, the provision of services for the protection of property and citizens, as well as certain types of activities (transportation of oversized, heavy cargo, activities related to the provision of services by shooting ranges, etc.). …”

Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. III -- The triggering of active galactic nuclei peaks immediately after coalescence by Sara Ellison, Leonardo Ferreira, Robert Bickley, Tess Grindlay, Samir Salim, Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Shobita Satyapal, David R. Patton, Jillian M. Scudder

“…By combining the post-mergers identified in UNIONS with pre-coalescence galaxy pairs, we can study the triggering of AGN throughout the merger sequence. AGN are identified using a range of complementary metrics: mid-IR colours, narrow emission lines and broad emission lines, which can be combined to provide insight into the demographics of dust and luminosity of the AGN population. …”
