The environment in this image is far more unnatural then the original image, in that there is a significant change in scenery. The hill and grass in The Conciliation have been changed to a fence and concrete ground respectively…

comparison to the wild type Lon protease. Superimposition of the catalytic pocket of wild type Lon protease with K722Q mutant, S679A mutant and double mutant Lon protease generates a RMSD difference of 1.38Å, 1.39Å and 1.67Å respectively. This significant difference in RMSD value along with SASA value and RSA value clearly states that these mutations of the catalytic dyad residues (S679A , K722Q & double mutant) changes the shape of the catalytic pockets which affect the solvent accessibility…

Queen Idia was a prominent figure in the Edo State of Nigeria who played an important role in Oba Esigie’s rise to power. Esigie had brass sculptures of her head made in order to recognize her military influence and achievements, and placed these heads in her alter after her death.

Also, before a command is created, the situation…

green space indoors but also environmental and enjoyable place, with having benches to relax surrounded by bamboo. This place, as shown in figure 3, also links between the historic building and new building while it is being openness.2 In addition, there are two or three-story winter gardens are located on multiple places in the southern part of the building (figure 4 and 5). It makes possible to have areas moisturized and filled with fresh air by providing meeting places to interact researchers…

recombination of things (or the parts of things) which already existed, and creating some previously unimagined form (Radford). The Madonna and Child with St. Anne is just one example of Leonardo's increasing use of a "pyramidal" composition or grouping of figures. Leonardo's portraits of women were positioned with 3/4 of their profiles showing and he used this before many other artists used it with female portraits, also because he says partly because he gave the sitter in the painting a strong…

fire site but shows a smaller percentage of moss cover compared to the 1995 fire from a survey in 2011. From figure 3 below, the graph shows the percentage of canopy cover at all heights from 1995 to cover a significantly larger area than that of the 1983 site. The comparison of the number of dead and alive eucalypt stems from after 1983 and 1995 sites is insignificant as they show little…
