K-Means Cluster Analysis Results. The k-means algorithm is a clustering method which measures the proximity between groups using the Euclidean distance between group centroids. Beginning with an initial selection of k groups, this clustering algorithm allows to locate each respondent within clusters according to his/her distance to the nearest centroid. In total, 10 cluster solutions were tested using the Environics 1995 survey data. A scree plot of the derived proximity measure(in this case the Euclidean distance between group centroids) by the cluster solution is presented in chart 1.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
CONT

An initial set of experimental runs was devoted to the characterization of the soluble enzyme deactivation kinetics, at pH 3. 77. Two-slope log(activity) versus time curves are still produced by soluble acid phosphatase... [In another plot, ] the values of the specific activity... of the intermediate structure distribution are reported as a function of deactivation temperature. A typical S-shaped pattern is followed, which recalls previous experimental results obtained for other proteins.

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

On sait depuis longtemps que les réactions chimiques sont influencées par la température. (...) Il en est de même pour les réactions enzymatiques, mais cette augmentation n'est pas infinie. (...) En effet, jusqu'à une température [omicron]1, la vitesse de réaction croît régulièrement pour atteindre une valeur maximale. [omicron]1 est la température optimale de l'enzyme. Puis, au-delà de [omicron]1, jusqu'à une valeur [omicron]2 de la température, la vitesse de réaction décroît rapidement. Pour la valeur [omicron]2, la vitesse de réaction est nulle. L'enzyme est inactif. [omicron]2 est la température d'inactivation.
