Effect of Lime on the Shear Strength of Soft Soils

Soft marine and/or swampy soils are, generally, abundant in Malaysia and problematic in nature due to their very low shear strength. Therefore, remedial actions are, always, required to tackle this problem. The objective of this project is to study the effects of the use of lime as a stabilizer for soft marine and/or swampy soils. A research approach and an experimental approach was used to overcome this problem. A soft soil sample from Ipoh was tested using soil classification tests, compaction and unconfined compression tests. Lime dosages of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% were added to the soil sample with moisture contents of 25%,30%,and 35%. The trend of the graphs were observed.The graphs stopped at 8% lime. For the graphs which did not show the optimum value, further testing is required using more percentages of lime such as 10%, 12% and so on

Analyzing the Binding of Co(II)-specific Inhibitors to the Methionyl Aminopeptidases from \u3cem\u3eEscherichia coli\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3ePyrococcus furiosus\u3c/em\u3e

Methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs) represent a unique class of protease that is capable of the hydrolytic removal of an N-terminal methionine residue from nascent polypeptide chains. MetAPs are physiologically important enzymes; hence, there is considerable interest in developing inhibitors that can be used as antiangiogenic and antimicrobial agents. A detailed kinetic and spectroscopic study has been performed to probe the binding of a triazole-based inhibitor and a bestatin-based inhibitor to both Mn(II)- and Co(II)-loaded type-I (Escherichia coli) and type-II (Pyrococcus furiosus) MetAPs. Both inhibitors were found to be moderate competitive inhibitors. The triazole-type inhibitor was found to interact with both active-site metal ions, while the bestatin-type inhibitor was capable of switching its mode of binding depending on the metal in the active site and the type of MetAP enzyme
