The objective of this study was to apply a method for estimating the mixing extent of C4 sugar in juice (apple) based on the fingerprinting of carbon stable isotope (δ13C). The values of δ13C in sugar separated from fresh apples, pure apple juices as well as sugar produced from C4 plants (plants conduct C4 cycle photo-synthesis, in this case, it was sugar canes) were analysed on an isotope ratio mass spectrometer equipped with an elemental analyzer (EA IRMS). The results showed that the δ13C in sugar separated from fresh apples was in the range of -27.00 to -24.00‰ with an average of -25.47‰ (n=6) vs. VPDB standard (Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite). Meanwhile, the δ13C in sugar cane products ranged from -13.00 to -11.00‰, with an average of -12,47‰ vs. VPDB. Based on the isotope signature of carbon (δ13C) and the two end-members mixing model, the extent of mixing C4 sugar in apple juice available on the market could be estimated precisely. It was found one out of 9 apple juice samples available in the Hanoi markets to have a high content of C4 sugar mixed in the product, it was up to 96% instead of 5% as proclaimed on the label. The developed method seems to be of high accuracy so it was advisable to wider its application in the evaluation of the quality of juices available at the markets in Vietnam to ensure the right of the consumers.

Protein structures have significantly impacted and aided drug discovery efforts. However, it is not enough to know the structure of a protein; it must be the right structure. Small alteration in sequence can lead to different conformations and oligomerization states, cause changes which lead to different active site architecture and also which modify function. Protein crystallization is an essential prerequisite for the determination of protein structures by X-ray crystallography. We have obtained encouraging initial results for a hitherto unexplored crystallization method with the enzyme arylamine N-acetyltransferase from M. tuberculosis (TBNAT). Despite prolonged and varied trials to crystallize TBNAT, an important anti-tubercular drug target, no crystals were obtained. In an alternative approach, cross-seeding of TBNAT protein with micro-crystalline seeds from a homologous NAT from M. marinum (74 % sequence identity (SID)) surprisingly resulted in a single 20 micron sized TBNAT crystal that diffracted to 2.1 Å and allowed for TBNAT structure determination (Abuhammad et al., 2013). To our knowledge, cross-seeding crystallisation using homologous proteins has only been previously successful in cases with more than 85% SID. In this study, we have explored the effect of low sequence homology on cross seeding using β-lactamases with SID as low as 30%. Despite the low SIDs, the results show cross seeding leads to an increase in hits obtained, the identification of new crystallization conditions, shortening of crystallization time and an improvement in the quality of the crystals obtained.

From practical experience is well known that the establishment of the right values for the cutting regime parameters (without taking into consideration the cutting schematics) is requiring a large volume of work, thorough calculations and accurate input information regarding the process to be conducted. The high competition from the market is generating increased requirements concerning the productivity of processes, quality of the products as well as the production costs. There it is a strong correlation between these issues and the accurate determination of the cutting regime parameters. This article presents the methods of calculation for the cutting regime parameters for drilling process by using analytical method (classical) and automated method (by using specialized software packages) and the analysis of the results obtained with the goal of establishing which of them are providing the best results in the shortest period of time.

A discussion on modern shoes is limited on account of the scarcity of sources provided by archaeological research. This gap is to a certain extent filled by museum collections and iconography. This is why it is so important to publish new finds as one can only initiate discussion on isolated artefacts of open-back shoes based on such publications. Such a pair was found in the southern crypt of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Piaseczno. These are unique objects as it is possible to identify all their elements and to determine the quality of leather, which was rather thick. Their general state of preservation is good. The condition of the leather on the soles, heels, and uppers indicates that the shoes were intensively used when their owner was alive. There is no difference in cut between the left and the right shoe, however, deformations resulting from wearing allow to say which shoe was worn on which foot. The pair of shoes found in Piaseczno and described above represents a valuable contribution to the discussion on open-back shoes. When interpreting such finds, the basic difficulty is the determination of their function. In specific circumstances, functions of overshoes and home shoes could to a certain extent overlap. However, it seems that in the modern era separate pairs of shoes were made to serve these different purposes. Unfortunately, the only evidence that would allow to lean towards one of the options involves the categories of massiveness and size of the shoes, and the diversity of the materials used. The paper uses a number of names for open-back shoes (pattens, mules, chopines, slippers, pantables) to reflect the linguistic richness. There is no doubt that different designs used to have individual names, however, the scarcity of accounts makes it very difficult to reconstruct the linguistic reality of old.
