Proposal for an enzyme redesign method to improve production rates in Aspergillus niger

Relating sequence properties to protein secretion

Aspergillus niger is widely used for industrial enzyme production. Knowledge on high-level protein secretion could be useful to improve production rates. We used sequencebased classification methods to identify important properties<br/>for successful high-level secretion, which will be used to redesign proteins for improved secretion.

English Language Test for Scientific Staff at D.U.T.

Delft University of Technology (DUT) screened her (non-native English) scientific staff on their level of language proficiency over the year academic 2006/2007. In this paper the large scale operation, involving planning, policy decisions, assessment means, advise and training are discussed. Results are framed against the background of becoming...

Uncertainties in the design of bed protections near quay walls

Design formulas for bed protections in the port of Rotterdam were investigated. Using depthsoundings, the actual level of stability of a quay wall can be compared with the design formulas. The loads on a bottom protection differ, because of diversity in shipping and tidal motion. Therefore a better comparison can be made by resembling the...
