Enzymes immobilized on inorganic supports by covalent attachment show unique pH optimums, thermal profiles and kinetics.

Silanes such as this react with any available oxide or hydroxide groups on the surface of glass, ceramics or metal oxides.... Once an alkylamine group has been attached to the inorganic support it takes only standard organic coupling reactions to covalently bond the protein of interest.

  • Exhibitions (Arts and Culture)
  • Museums
DEF

A public show or exhibition of all the countries of the world on a theme of international interest to show what has been done and what has to be done for a better future in a better environment.

OBS

World expositions usually has exhibits on human or social themes, as the Expo 67 in Montréal, Québec, "Man and his World", or on economic or environmental themes, as Expo 86 in Vancouver, British Columbia, "Transportation and Communications."

OBS

The term "exposition" means the show itself and "exhibition", "the act of showing or the display. "For events of universal interest, the word "exposition" is used for the official designations while current usage also uses "world exhibition" though an inappropriate generic. The term "fair" meaning "a gathering for the purpose of showing goods and products often with entertainment or a midway" is also an inappropriate generic for such world events.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Expositions (Arts et Culture)

DEF

Rencontre internationale de pays en vue de présenter au monde leurs réalisations sur un thème donné et leur projets dans ce domaine pour les années à venir.

OBS

Une exposition mondiale offre aux participants l'occasion de présenter une image actuelle d'eux-mêmes qui comprend le traitement idéologique du thème choisi. Pour le public, il s'agit d'une occasion de s'informer sur les autres pays du globe et d'éveiller sa conscience sur l'avenir de la planète; l'exposition universelle n'est pas une foire d'amusement, mais un lieu de rencontre et de réflexion. Les expositions universelles sont régies par le Bureau international des expositions (BIE) qui a officiellement choisi le générique «exposition universelle» pour les événements de cette envergure; les autres génériques utilisés pour les désigner s'avèrent donc inappropriés.

OBS

Les expositions universelles ont habituellement des thèmes de nature humaine et sociale, comme «Terre des hommes», le thème d'Expo 67 à Montréal (Québec), ou économique et environnementale, comme «Transports et Communications», celui d'Expo 86 à Vancouver (Colombie-Britannique).

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A technique used in image restoration, enhancement or coding [that is] a separable orthogonal transform or an expansion of the matrix in rank-1 matrices.

CONT

This paper presents a simple and effective method for matching two uncalibrated images. Corner points are firstly extracted as interest points in the two images. Each interest point is assigned one dominant orientation. The initial set of point matches is then obtained by singular value decomposition of a correspondence strength matrix. A new expression of this matrix is introduced to handle more complicated imaging conditions. Each element of this matrix is the similarity measure between two interest points. The new similarity measure is invariant to image rotation by taking into account the dominant orientation of the two interest points. The epipolar geometry constraint is finally imposed to reject the false matches. Experimental results on real images show this approach to be effective for general image matching.
