TL;DR: The TonB system of Gram‐negative bacteria appears to exist for the purpose of transducing the protonmotive force energy from the cytoplasmic membrane to the outer membrane, where it is needed for active transport of iron siderophores, vitamin B12 and, in pathogens, iron from host‐binding proteins.
Abstract: The TonB system of Gram-negative bacteria appears to exist for the purpose of transducing the protonmotive force energy from the cytoplasmic membrane, where it is generated, to the outer membrane, where it is needed for active transport of iron siderophores, vitamin B12 and, in pathogens, iron from host-binding proteins. In this review, we bring the reader up to date on the developments in the field since the authors each wrote reviews in this journal in 1990.

TL;DR: In this article, the China Antique variety of the sacred lotus was sequenced with Illumina and 454 technologies, at respective depths of 101× and 5.2×, and the final assembly has a contig N50 of 38.8 kbp and a scaffold n50 of 3.4 Mbp, covering 86.5% of the estimated 929 Mbp total genome size.
Abstract: Background: Sacred lotus is a basal eudicot with agricultural, medicinal, cultural and religious importance. It was domesticated in Asia about 7,000 years ago, and cultivated for its rhizomes and seeds as a food crop. It is particularly noted for its 1,300-year seed longevity and exceptional water repellency, known as the lotus effect. The latter property is due to the nanoscopic closely packed protuberances of its self-cleaning leaf surface, which have been adapted for the manufacture of a self-cleaning industrial paint, Lotusan. Results: The genome of the China Antique variety of the sacred lotus was sequenced with Illumina and 454 technologies, at respective depths of 101× and 5.2×. The final assembly has a contig N50 of 38.8 kbp and a scaffold N50 of 3.4 Mbp, and covers 86.5% of the estimated 929 Mbp total genome size. The genome notably lacks the paleo-triplication observed in other eudicots, but reveals a lineage-specific duplication. The genome has evidence of slow evolution, with a 30% slower nucleotide mutation rate than observed in grape. Comparisons of the available sequenced genomes suggest a minimum gene set for vascular plants of 4,223 genes. Strikingly, the sacred lotus has 16 COG2132 multi-copper oxidase family proteins with root-specific expression; these are involved in root meristem phosphate starvation, reflecting adaptation to limited nutrient availability in an aquatic environment. Conclusions: The slow nucleotide substitution rate makes the sacred lotus a better resource than the current standard, grape, for reconstructing the pan-eudicot genome, and should therefore accelerate comparative analysis between eudicots and monocots.

TL;DR: The TALSPEAK (Trivalent Actinide ‐ Lanthanide Separation by Phosphorus reagent Extraction from Aqueous Komplexes) process as discussed by the authors was developed in the late 1960s at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is based on the partitioning of lanthanides and actinides between an acidic organophosphorus extractant ((RO)2PO2H) solution and an aqueous phase containing a high concentration of a carboxylic acid buffer and a polyaminopolycarboxylate complexant.
Abstract: The separation of trivalent transplutonium actinides from fission product lanthanide ions represents arguably the most challenging aspect of advanced nuclear fuel partitioning schemes. A considerable amount of effort has been dedicated to the development of effective methods for accomplishing this separation, essential for transmutation of the actinides heavier than Pu. Among the methods currently considered to be ready for technological deployment is the TALSPEAK (Trivalent Actinide ‐ Lanthanide Separation by Phosphorus reagent Extraction from Aqueous Komplexes) Process, developed in the late 1960s at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This process is based on the partitioning of lanthanides and actinides between an acidic organophosphorus extractant ((RO)2PO2H) solution and an aqueous phase containing a high concentration of a carboxylic acid buffer and a polyaminopolycarboxylate complexant. The latter reagent is principally responsible for holding back the trivalent actinides, allowing the selecti...

TL;DR: In this article, a load frequency control method based on linear matrix inequalities is proposed to find a robust controller that can ensure good performance despite indeterminate delays and other problems in the communication network.
Abstract: Load frequency control has been used for decades in power systems. Traditionally, this has been a centralized control by area with communication over a dedicated and closed network. New regulatory guidelines allow for competitive markets to supply this load frequency control. In order to allow an effective market operation, an open communication infrastructure is needed to support an increasing complex system of controls. While such a system has great advantage in terms of cost and reliability, the possibility of communication signal delays and other problems must be carefully analyzed. This paper presents a load frequency control method based on linear matrix inequalities. The primary aim is to find a robust controller that can ensure good performance despite indeterminate delays and other problems in the communication network.

TL;DR: The basic chemical biology of H2S as well as other related or derived species is discussed and reviewed, and this review particularly focuses on the per- and polysulfides which are likely in equilibrium with free H 2S and which may be important biological effectors themselves.
