Role of design

This thesis involved an examination of the impact of moderator variables on the extended technology acceptance model with the aim of developing a more integrative framework for understanding mobile broadband technology acceptance in Indonesia. The absence of an integrative model that incorporates other types of variables, such as moderator factors, in the current literature indicates the importance of developing such a framework.

This thesis examines the influence of market (Narver & Slater, 1990), learning (Sinkula, Baker, & Noordewier, 1997), and entrepreneurial orientation (Lumpkin & Dess, 2001) as sources of competitive advantage in rapidly growing small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). The present thesis incorporates two studies (Study 1 and Study 2), utilizing a sequential explanatory design, which is characterized by undertaking quantitative data collection and analysis, prior conducting qualitative research (Cresswell, 2003).

Feedback is an integral part of our lives. Try touching your fingertips with your eyes closed; you may not succeed the first time because you have broken a feedback loop that ordinarily “regulates” your motions. The regulatory role of feedback manifests itself in biological, mechanical, and electronic systems, allowing precise realization of “functions.” For example, an amplifier targeting a precise gain of 2.00 is designed much more easily with feedback than without.

The design of b-glycosidases with planed substrate specificity for biotechnological application has received little attention. This is mostly a consequence of the lack of data on the molecular basis of the b-glycosidase specificity, namely data on the energy of the noncovalent interactions in the enzymetransition state complex. In an attempt to fill this gap, sitedirected mutagenesis and enzyme steady-state kinetic experiments with different substrates were conducted, using as model a digestive b-glycosidase (glycoside hydrolase family 1) from Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera) (Sfbgly50).

In an effort to explore the role of glycine clusters on the cold adaptation of enzymes, we designed point mutations aiming to alter the distribution of glycine residues close to the active site of the psychrophilic alkaline phosphatase from the Antarctic strain TAB5. The mutagenesis targets were residues Gly261 and Gly262. The replacement of Gly262 by Ala resulted in an inactive enzyme. Substitution of Gly261 by Ala resulted to an enzyme with lower stability and increased energy of activation.

important regulators of biological processes in animals and plants. MiRNAs regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level by binding to mRNAs and either inhibit translation or modify the stability of the mRNA. Due to the important biological role of miRNAs it is of great interest to study their expression level in the cells. Furthermore, miRNAs have been associated with cancer and other diseases [1] and miRNA expression can help in the diagnosis and prognostic of human disease [2,3].

The otolith, composed mainly of calcium carbonate with small amount of organic matrices, is formed in the inner ear and serves as apart of the hearing and balance systems. Although the organicmatrices may play important roles in the growth of otolith, little is known about their chemical nature and physiological func-tion. In this study, amajor organic component of theotolith, designated otolin-1, which may serve as a template for calci®cation, was puri®ed. ...

The present study was conducted on human Jurkat T-cell lines in order to elucidate the role of phospholipase A2in capacitative calcium entry. We have employed thapsigar-gin (TG)that induces increases in [Ca 2+ ] i by emptying the calcium pool of endoplasmic reticulum, followed by capacitative calcium entry. We designed a Ca 2+ free/Ca 2+ reintroduction (CFCR)protocol for the experiments, conducted in Ca 2+ -free medium.

We report experiments to investigate the role of the physio-logically relevant protein tyrosine kinase Lck in the ordered phosphorylation of the T-cell receptorfchain. Six synthetic peptides were designed based on the sequences of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of thefchain. Preliminary 1 H-NMRstudies of recombinant f chain suggested that it is essentially unstructured and therefore that peptide mimics would serve as useful models for investigating individual ITAM tyrosines....

Embryos and larvae of the brine shrimp,Artemia francis-cana, were shown previously to possess a protein, now termed p49, which cross-links microtubules in vitro. Molecular characteristics of p49 were described, but the protein’s identity and its role in the cell were not determined. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers designed on the basis of peptide sequence obtained by Edman degradation during this studywereusedtogeneratep49cDNAsbyRT-PCRand thesewere clonedand sequenced.

Multiple ankyrin repeat motif-containing proteins play an important role in protein–protein interactions. ANKHD1 proteins are known to possess multiple ankyrin repeat domains and a single KH domain with no known function. Using yeast two-hybrid system analysis, we identified a novel splice variant of ANKHD1. This splice variant of ANKHD1, which we designated as HIV-1 Vpr-binding ankyrin repeat protein (VBARP), does not contain the signature KH domain, and codes for only a single ankyrin repeat motif. ...
