I strongly believe our supercomputing facility is a crucial asset, helping to improve the excellence of Czech science. The IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center was established at the end of 2011 with the clear goal to implement and operate large research e-infrastructure in High Performance Computing (HPC) in the Czech Republic. Our first cluster, Anselm, became operational in May 2013. Anselm was the first, and for two years the only large High Performance Computing system publicly available for Czech scientists and researchers nationwide complying with the principles of open access. In September 2015 the supercomputer Salomon was inaugurated and became available. At the time of its completion it was the 14th fastest supercomputer in Europe, and rated 40th in the world, according to the TOP500 list. The computational resources of the e-infrastructure are allocated via open access competitions that are announced three times a year. IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center is not just a computational cycle provider, we also offer high quality HPC related expertise and research, world class training and unique MSc. and Ph.D. study programmes in the HPC domain. Our membership in the pan-European infrastructure PRACE allows Czech scientists access to the largest HPC systems in Europe, should even larger scale systems than nationally available be required for particular research tasks. Our membership in ETP4HPC allows us to influence the HPC Strategic Research Agenda, the document that outlines a roadmap for the achievement of exa-scale capabilities by the European High Performance Computing ecosystem. So that we may better serve our users, we continually strive to improve all aspects of the services we offer. I hope that we maintain your goodwill towards the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center, and that our e-infrastructure will continue to help you make breakthroughs in your research

    9853 Pacific Heights Blvd. Suite D. San Diego, CA 92121, USA Tel: 858-263-4982 Email: [email protected] 32-7101: Recombinant E. coli Lon Protease (C-6His) Gene : lon Gene ID : 945085 Uniprot ID : P0A9M0 Description Source: E.coli. MW :88.6kD. Recombinant E.coli Lon Protease is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Asn2-Lys784 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Lon Protease, is a member of the Lon protease family. They are found in archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes. Lon protease is ATP-dependent serine protease that mediates the selective degradation of mutant and abnormal proteins as well as certain short-lived regulatory proteins, including some antitoxins. It required for cellular homeostasis and for survival from DNA damage and developmental changes induced by stress. It degrades polypeptides processively to yield small peptide fragments that are 5 to 10 amino acids long and binds to DNA in a double-stranded, site- specific manner. Endogenous substrates include the regulatory proteins RcsA and SulA, the transcriptional activator SoxS, and UmuD. Its overproduction specifically inhibits translation through at least two different pathways, one of them being the YoeB- YefM toxin-antitoxin system.

This article is part of a Special Issue entitled '‘EBEC 2016: 19th European Bioenergetics Conference, Riva del Garda, Italy, July 2‐–6, 2016'’, edited by Prof. Paolo Bernardi. Abstract Lon protease is a nuclear-encoded, mitochondrial ATP-dependent protease highly conserved throughout the evolution, crucial for the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis. Lon acts as a chaperone of misfolded proteins, and is necessary for maintaining mitochondrial DNA. The impairment of these functions has a deep impact on mitochondrial functionality and morphology. An altered expression of Lon leads to a profound reprogramming of cell metabolism, with a switch from respiration to glycolysis, which is often observed in cancer cells. Mutations of Lon, which likely impair its chaperone properties, are at the basis of a genetic inherited disease named of the cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, skeletal (CODAS) syndrome.

Keyes, Chair In New Orleans, Louisiana, nearly every occasion is marked with a celebratory parade, most famously the Mardi Gras processions that seemingly take over the city during Carnival Time. But throughout the year, there are jazz funerals and parades known as "second lines" that fill the Backatown neighborhoods of New Orleans, with the jubilant sounds of brass band music. These peripatetic parades and their accompanying brass bands have become symbolic of New Orleans and its association with social norm-breaking and hedonistic behavior. The second line constitutes cultural practice and group identification for practitioners serving as a site for spiritual practice and renewal. In Los Angeles, California, practitioners are transposing the second line, out of which comes new modes of expression, identities, meanings, and theology.

Before I thank those who have support me through my journey, I would like to mention that, when I got divorced, around five years ago, I felt broken and I will always remember that my father told me: “You can start on your next chapter as an independent Saudi women”. I thought that the only thing that people will know about me was that I had been divorced, but now that is not the case. I have worked hard to obtain a scholarship to study in UK in my favourite subject, plant sciences, and the most important thing about me now is that I’m a strong women who no longer hopes for someone who would bring flowers for her, but I am able to plant my own flowers.

  • 3D Computer Graphics
    3D computer graphics Viktor Novičenko Smithy of ideas 2011 Main idea – I define for computer objects forms, colors, materials define lights source and it position. And computer will calculate how the objects is look like, looking from camera. This picture is “drawing” by computer! 2D computer graphics Primitive element - pixel features: color – defined by integer number from 0 to 255 red green There are another color palettes: HSV, CMYK blue 3D computer graphics Primitive element – polygon (restricted plane somehow oriented in virtual 3d space) Each object form can be constructed from polygons. Example screw: Computer per 7 min. 38 sec. will calculate how screw is look like using some kind of environment. workflow: • modeling – object form construction from polygons • texturing, shading – define object material and accept colors, using 2d picture (texture) • animation (if we want make movie) – define movement of polygons in scene • rendering – final picture calculation And after render we have .... Plenty of tools in 3d packages: Photoshop – 2d graphic redactor Maya – 3d graphic redactor Texturing – we must make UV layout to define each polygons pixel’s color. Material definition (shading) – a lot of parameters, which influence of reflection and refraction algorithms. Most heavy materials is “subsurface scaterring” Materials. Render – program which on input has scene file(polygonal objects, materials, textures, lights sources and camera position) and on output is final 2d picture. bias unbias Indigo render Vray (bulgarija) Maxwell render Mental ray (vokietija) Octane render Renderman (JAV) 5 years ago coputers is to slow for using Final-Render (D.Britanija, Kanada) unbias rendering algorithms.
