Talk:Crime in New York City

message: The section which lists high-profile crimes has no clear inclusion criteria, and some of the crimes (especially recent ones) might have been sensational, but received only short-lived attention. I propose that only entries that have standalone articles, or at least substantial sections in other articles, about the crime, the victim, or the perpetrator should be included. pburka (talk) 19:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Since there have been no objections, I've gone ahead and removed many non-notable crimes from the list. pburka (talk) 20:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I know I'm late, but in my own objections, the standards you went by to erase many of the crimes are both unfair and contradictory. Many significant crimes formerly listed after your and other changes are significant in regards to their relation to each other, be it the crimes themselves or the consequences. For example, you erased pages with significant political attention even within the city alone, showed history of corruption, showed attacks on law enforcement, and saw much social reaction, from safety concerns to representation of marginalized populations. You went against your own rules, even! You wiped entries obviously added with pages and sections linked! And for what?! Since I'm here, would you like to discuss this further?

Talk:Transmembrane domain

message: The transmembrane domain article begins right off with the subject "Transmembrane segment." => "Transmembrane segment usually denotes a single transmembrane alpha helix of a transmembrane protein, also known as an integral protein.[1] More broadly, a transmembrane segment is any three-dimensional protein structure which is thermodynamically stable in a membrane. This may be a single alpha helix, a transmembrane beta barrel, a beta-helix of gramicidin A, or any other structure. Transmembrane helices are usually about 20 amino acids in length." ~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmembrane_domain
I want to know about the transmembrane domain, not what comprises a transmembrane segment: "...a single transmembrane alpha helix... ."  I see the transmembrane domain as the 'space' between the inner and outer cell membrane boundaries of animal cells.

replies: text: I agree with you that it would be a good idea to cover that at this page. This is specifically about the threshold potential for the K channels. It's significantly and importantly different for the "delayed rectifiers" and "A channels" that are listed on this page. Here is a good source for both (along with a "fast" current that we can probably leave out as having low due weight): . It puts the threshold for A channels at about –45 mV and for delayed rectifiers at about –25 mV. (I think what you saw on YouTube was probably looking high because of the delayed time course.) Another source puts the number for A channels at about –60 mV: . --Tryptofish (talk) 16:42, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  March 4th [[Languedoc wine]] 

message: Feel free to post any reviews and recommendations here.
Admittedly, I'm not a big red wine drinker but it is my business to know good wines and what to recommend to customers. With Carmenere, I think its biggest potential is as a blending grape. I think Vina Carmen in Maipo Valley of Chile are one of the best in business when it comes to blending Cab & Carmenere. Their wines tend to be very fruit forward with the tannics tempered a bit by the Carmenere. But I personally ADORE the color-a gorgeous crimson red. Any wineshop with a half way decent selection of South American wines will carry them for anywhere from $13-20 a bottle. When it comes to single varietal Carmenere, one of the most reputable names on the market is Concha Y Toro but their really good wines tend to get a bit pricy. One producer that I, personally, think is way overpriced and overrated is J&F Lurton. I know they have their fans (like Wine Spectator) but I'm not one of them. AgneCheese/Wine 04:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried a very reasonably-priced Carmenère/Cab from the Porta winery (also Maipo Valley, 2005 reserva) which was a whole new take on the usual, rather tired and over-used Sauvignon blends, in which I think you tend to get much more Cabernet than anything else. Here the Carmenère really shines through and stamps its personality on the wine; I'd love to try a Vina Carmen blend and will certainly keep my eyes open for one but I would recommend the Porta without reservation. Tasting the full-blooded Casillero del Diablo (2005 reserve) Carmenère it's immediately clear why the grape holds its own against the Cabbie; it has a really distinctive and powerful peppery flavour, quite savoury, which balances the fruit beautifully. Love at first slurp... would like to see what the Italians have done with it but so far, no sign of any.--mikaul 13:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Beta-galactoside permease

message: Galactoside permease is a protein coded for by the lacY gene of the lac operon, and is found bound to the membrane of a cell for the purpose of binding galactoside molecules that have been solubilized. The protein is part of a system whose main function is to catalyze the accumulation and transport of lactose and other beta-galactosides across the permeable barrier of a membrane.
