Cultivation and analysis of anthocyanin containing types of potatoes in organic farming regarding cultivability and additional health benefits

In a two year research project a representative spectrum of blue potato varieties were cultivated and tested in detail regarding disease infestation, yield potential and the influence of production systems (organic). Cultivation recommendations for blue potatoes could be deduced from this. Furthermore the varying anthocyanin content as well as the antioxidant capacity of the varieties used was analysed. Varieties with a particularly high content will undergo further tests to show the influence of the manner of preparation (boiling, steaming, frying) and determine their use for the processing industry. The combination of ecologically produced potatoes with „additional health benefits“ arouses the customers interest. The cultivation of high yield blue types can be an alternative to the cultivation of yellow fleshed high yield varieties in organic operating companies

Isolation of the glucose ester of (E)-2,6-dimethyl-6-hydroxyocta-2,7-dienoic acid from Riesling wine

A glycosidic isolate of Riesling wine was separated with multilayer coil countercurrent chromatography (MLCCC). After acetylation and subsequent purification by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the glucose ester of (E)-2,6-dimethyl-6-hydroxyocta-2,7-dienoic acid (linalool-8-carboxylic acid) 1 was identified for the first time as natural wine constituent. The possible role of I as wine aroma precursor is discussed

Isolation of 2-ethyl-3-methylmaleimide N-β-D-glucopyranoside from Riesling wine

A glycosidic isolate of Riesling urine was separated with multilayer coil countercurrent chromatography (MLCCC). After acetylation and subsequent purification by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the N-beta-D-glucopyranoside of 2-ethyl-3-methylmaleimide (3-ethyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione) 2 was identified for the first time as natural wine constituent. The identification was carried out by mass spectrometry (EI-MS, DCI-MS) as well as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-1 NMR, 13C NMR, COSY, HMBC)

Flight Data Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) Repository

Dr. Daniel Winterhalter, NASA Engineering and Safety Center Chief Engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, requested the NASA Engineering and Safety Center sponsor a 3-year effort to collect entry, descent, and landing material and to establish a NASA-wide archive to serve the material. The principle focus of this task was to identify entry, descent, and landing repository material that was at risk of being permanently lost due to damage, decay, and undocumented storage. To provide NASA-wide access to this material, a web-based digital archive was created. This document contains the outcome of the effort

Monopoly Newspapers: Troubles in Paradise

This note does not attempt to resolve the myriad constitutional, economic and social issues involved in the task of insuring a free press. It will, however, illuminate the main constitutional and economic problems involved in this process and demonstrate that the government has the power to formulate a substitute for the checks that were once provided by the competitive economic system. It the citizen’s right to a free press is to be more than just an historical oddity, the government must begin regulation of the newspaper industry to insure that no powerful interests have the power to suppress the free interchange of ideas Such unrest has also become a major legal problem. In the light of these changes, it is evident that a rational theory of the legal relationship between the student and the university can develop within the context of the university as an instrument of society. In this concept, student-university relationships cease to be the private affairs the university has ling considered them. The university’s responsibility to its students is a responsibility to society

Detection of ubiquityl-calmodulin conjugates with a novel high-molecular weight ubiquitylprotein-isopeptidase in rabbit tissues

The selective degradation of many proteins in eukaryotic cells is carried out by the ubiquitin system. In this pathway, proteins are targeted for degradation by covalent ligation to ubiquitin, a highly conserved protein [1]. Ubiquitylated proteins were degraded by the 26S protea-some in an ATP-depended manner. The degradation of ubiquitylated proteins were controlled by isopeptidase cleavage. A well characterised system of ubiquitylation and deubiquitylation is the calmodulin system in vitro [2]. Detection of ubiquityl-calmodulin conjugtates in vivo have not been shown so far. In this article we discuss the detection of ubiquitin calmodulin conjugates in vivo by incubation with a novel high-molecular weight ubiquitylprotein-isopeptidase in rabbit tissues. Proteins with a molecular weight of ubiquityl-calmodulin conjugates could be detected in all organs tested. Incubation with ubiquitylprotein-isopeptidase showed clearly a decrease of ubiquitin calmodulin conjugates in vivo with an origination of unbounded ubiquitin. These results suggest that only few ubiquitin calmodulin conjugates exist in rabbit tissues
