Herstellung und Charakterisierung von antimykotisch wirksamen Peptiden aus der AFP-Familie der Ascomycota
… diese Quelle zu erschließen. Die Mitglieder der AFP-Familie sind auf Grund ihrer Spezies-Spezifität, besonders auch für bekannte human- und pflanzenpathogene Pilze mit hohem Bedrohungspotential, ohne bekannte Nebenwirkungen von Interesse. In dieser Arbeit wurden daher Grundlagen zur Etablierung …

Characterization of the antifreeze peptide system of the Antarctic eel pout, Pachycara brachycephalum
… produces essentially one antifreeze peptide (AFP) that is maintained at high serum levels. The AFP gene family of the species was characterized to elucidate the basis of its particularly homogeneous AFP complement, as compared with other zoarcoids. Six AFP genes were isolated from a genomic …

Tracing The Origin Of A Lectin-like Antifreeze Protein
Type II antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are C-type lectin homologs found in three lineages of teleost fish (Cottidae, Clupeiformes and Osmeriformes). Previous work demonstrated that the AFP gene was horizontally transferred from the Atlantic herring to the smelt, and also showed that the herring is not …

URBAN WARFARE: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE MARAWI CRISIS
… 23, 2017, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) launched an operation against the appointed leader of the terrorist group, ISIS-Philippines. This operation was conducted by the AFP-Joint Special Operation Group (AFP-JSOG), the unit in charge of counterterrorism operations of the AFP, …

Evaluation of alternative fat and sweetener systems in cupcakes
… aspartame, 35.5% fructose, and 63% polydextrose (AFP) were evaluated for their potential as fat and sugar substitutes, respectively. Four cupcake variations were prepared to compare the effects of replacing shortening with N-Flate™, and sugar with AFP. The four variations were shortening/sugar, …

US STRATEGY BETWEEN THE TWO FALLS: FROM THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL TO BAGHDAD
This study argues that American foreign policy (AFP) represented continuity rather than change from the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the fall of Baghdad in 2003. During this time, the US pursued a hegemonic strategy that aimed to preserve its unipolar moment in the new American century. …

Adaptive Energy Management Scheme in Real-Time Energy Harvesting Embedded Systems
… Average (EWMA) and Adaptive Forward Prediction (AFP), to schedule all the tasks with least deadline miss rate. The AFP scheme has a mean relative error of 6-10% which is much lower than exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) algorithm with an error of 30%. The large difference in the error …

The role of basal ganglia-forebrain circuitry in the vocal learning of songbirds
… into how the anterior forebrain pathway (AFP), an avian basal ganglia-forebrain circuit, supports vocal learning in the songbird. This investigation reveals two previously undiscovered functions of the AFP - both related to reinforcement, or trial-and-error, learning. One necessary …

Resin percolation and intimate contact in fast processing of thermoplastic composites
… TPC processes such as automated fiber placement (AFP) and welding. A 1D intimate contact model based on resin percolation, derived from Darcy's Law, is presented and compared to experiments. While this model proved effective in comparing processing conditions by adeptly capturing trends, it …

PROTEIN FUNCTION, DIVERISTY AND FUNCTIONAL INTERPLAY
… development of automated function prediction (AFP) methods for large-scale identification of protein function has be-come imperative in many aspects. In this research, we address two important divergences from the “one protein – one function” concept on which all existing AFP methods are …

Alpha-Fetoprotein-spezifische Immuntherapie des hepatozellulären Karzinoms mittels DNA-Immunisierung
… gegen das HCC zu untersuchen. Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) ist ein in vielen HCCs exprimiertes Tumorantigen. Mittels DNA-Immunisierung wurden in der Maus Immunantworten autoreaktiver zytotoxischer T-Zellen (CTLs) gegen Maus-AFP (mAFP) erzeugt und untersucht. Dafür wurden rekombinante mAFP-exprimierende …

Design of an Automated Fiber Placement Machine to Build Prosthetic Sockets
… standardization. Automated fiber placement (AFP) is a process commonly used in the aerospace industry to make large, complex composite parts where a robotic gantry lays down individual pre-impregnated strips of fiber tow. This thesis prototyped a proof-of-concept desktop AFP machine with four …

Herstellung und Charakterisierung von rekombinanten Antikörpern und scFv Fusionsproteinen zur Generierung Phytophthora infestans-resistanter Kartoffelpflanzen
… genetically fuse them to antifungal peptides (AFP) in order to establish transgenic potato plants that are resistant against P. infestans by expressing the AFP-scFv fusion protein. To generate suitable scFvs two strategies were used. On the one hand spleen cells of mice that have been …

Hexamerine und Neuropeptide in der postembryonalen Entwicklung der Insekten
… Die Funktion des zweiten Interaktionspartners - AFP - ist unbekannt. AFP wird im anterioren Teil des Fettkörpers und in Hämozyten exprimiert. Die Interaktion zwischen dem Hexamerinrezeptor und AFP ist demnach auf diesen Teil des Fettkörpers beschränkt. Die mit AFP interagierende Domäne des …

Evaluation of the Commercial Groundfish Integration Pilot Program in British Columbia
… have developed an alternative fishing plan (AFP). This thesis evaluates whether DFO's conservation objectives were met under the CGIPP and if there were any social and economic impacts. These same impacts are compared to what may have occurred under the AFP. The results of this thesis …
