Molecular analysis of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism in the desiccation-tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc commune UTEX 584
Synthesis of water stress proteins (Wsp) is induced upon repeated desiccation and rehydration of immobilized cells of the desiccation-tolerant cyanobacterium <i>Nostoc commune</i> UTEX 584 (<i>Nostoc</i> 584). The Wsp polypeptides synthesized and secreted by field material of N. <i>commune</i> have …

Phosphorus Losses in Runoff from Virginia Soils
… less DRP in runoff for a given soil WSP level compared to soils with a ratio < 0.5. The second study showed that the soil P vs runoff DRP relationships varied between physiographic provinces. Generally, the Coastal Plain soils resulted in a higher runoff DRP concentration for a given …

Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry to Characterize Inorganic Coordination Complexes and Cyanobacteria
… growth in E. coli in order to assess the role of Wsp in the desiccation tolerance of N. commune. The results show that SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis are not sufficient to detect the presence of Wsp after purification using ion-exchange chromatography. Three E. coli proteins were identified in …

Automatic Techniques for the Synthesis and Assisted Deployment of Security Policies in Workflow-based Applications
… the policy. The Workflow Satisfiability Problem (WSP) asks whether there exists an assignment of users to tasks in a workflow such that every task is executed and the policy is not violated. The run-time version of this problem amounts to answering user requests to execute tasks positively if the …
