Differential lipid dependence of the function of bacterial sodium channels. by Nazzareno D'Avanzo, Emily C McCusker, Andrew M Powl, Andrew J Miles, Colin G Nichols, B A Wallace

“…The lipid bilayer is important for maintaining the integrity of cellular compartments and plays a vital role in providing the hydrophobic and charged interactions necessary for membrane protein structure, conformational flexibility and function. To directly assess the lipid dependence of activity for voltage-gated sodium channels, we compared the activity of three bacterial sodium channel homologues (NaChBac, NavMs, and NavSp) by cumulative (22)Na(+) uptake into proteoliposomes containing a 3∶1 ratio of 1-palmitoyl 2-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine and different "guest" glycerophospholipids. …”

Analysis of Residential Function Spatial Variation of the City of Rwandz by Kamaran Wali Mahmood

“…The paper was able to classify Rwandz city into four residential regions: the old and dilapidated houses region, which occupies 10% of the total housing units; and the regions of medium-quality houses, good-quality houses, and layout houses, with percentages of 43.8%, 36%, and 10.2%, respectively. The paper tested the correlation between the criteria to determine the spatial relationships of the residential function, it found that the central parts of the city differ from the relatively newer periphery, in terms of residential characteristics. …”
