Starting from the established X-ray structure of bovine GPX, all kinetically defined intermediates and enzyme substrate complexes were modelled. The models thus obtained support the hypothesis that the essential steps of the catalysis are three distinct redox changes of the active site selenium which, in the ground state, presents itself at the surface of selenoperoxidases as the center of a characteristic triad built by selenocysteine, glutarnine and tryptophan. In GPX, four arginine residues and a lysine residue provide an electrostatic architecture which, in each reductive step, directs the donor substrate GSH towards the catalytic center in such a way that 1ts sulfhydryl group must react with the selenium moiety. To this end, different equally efficient modes of substrate binding appear possible. The models are consistent with substrate specificity data, kinetic pattern and other functional characteristics of the enzyme. Comparison of molecular models of GPX with those of other members of the GPX superfamily reveals that the cosubstrate binding mechanisrns are unique for the classical type of cytosolic glutathione peroxidases but cannot operate e. g. in plasma GPX and phospholipid hydroperoxide GPX. The structural differences between the selenoperoxidases, shown to be relevant to their specificities, are discussed in terms of functional diversification within the GPX superfamily展开更多

However, from the extensive experiments to EA-LSBMR, we find that the discrete Fourier transform （DFT） spectrum of pixelpairs differences histogram still reveals the presence of a secret message even in a low embedding rate. To enhance the security, a modified scheme is proposed in this paper, which can defeat the above-mentioned analysis and keep the visual quality better than EA-LSBMR in higher embedding rates. Experimental results using a latest universal steganalysis method have demonstrated the proposed method＇s good performance.展开更多

In this story, the protagonist Charlie comes to Paris to get custody of her daughter Honoria from his wife's sister Marion, to whom the child is entrusted after Charlie fell apart several years ago. However, he is prevented by his late wife's sister Marion for her selfishness and jealousy. Perhaps, Fitzgerald wants us to question whether Charlie is really prepared for parenting. The story hints that he isn't, because it provides many hints that he has not separated himself enough from his past bad habits.展开更多

Research data are collected by using questionnaire survey method, and statistical analysis of data is conducted using SPSS 21.0. Research has found that leisure involvement has a significant positive impact on authenticity experience, place attachment, and willingness to revisit;authenticity experience has a significant positive impact on place attachment and willingness to revisit;place attachment has a significant positive impact on willingness to revisit. Therefore, shared accommodation owners need to strengthen the editing and publishing of leisure strategies on we media to enhance customers sense of leisure involvement;pay attention to enhancing the local authentic cultural experience of tenants, in order to increase their sense of attachment to the place and thereby enhance their willingness to stay.展开更多

Here we revisit the electron-doped SmFeAsO polycrystals to make a further investigation for the highest Tc in these materials. To introduce more electron carriers and less crystal lattice distortions, we study the Th and F eodoping effects into the Sm-O layers with heavy electron doping. Dozens of Sm1-xThx FeAsO1-yFy samples are synthesized through the solid state reaction method, and these samples are carefully characterized by the structural, resistive, and magnetic measurements. We find that the codoping of Th and F clearly enhances the superconducting Tc more than the Th or F single-doped samples, with the highest record Tc up to 58.6K when x = 0.2 and y=0.225. Further element doping causes more impurities and lattice distortions in the samples with a weakened superconductivity.展开更多

The transmitting antennas are configured as the single phase center multiple azimuth beams （SPC MAB）. The formed two beams point to two different directions to obtain two images of the observed scenario. The receiving antennas are configured as displaced phase center multiple azimuth beams （DPC MAB） to decrease the required pulse repetition frequency （PRF）. The de- creased PRF can ensure the high resolution wide swath imaging. Based on the analysis of the character of the return signal, a pro- cessing method named multiple beam multiple channel algorithm （MBMCA） is proposed to separate the aliased sub-beams＇ echoes. The separated echoes are focused respectively to get the revisit imaging to the observed scenario. The simulation experiments ve- rify the validity and correctness of the proposed imaging mode and processing algorithm.展开更多
