Edinburgh Mathematical Tracts

1994 Edinburgh

The cost of state-of-the-art supercomputing resources makes each individual purchase an expensive and, in many cases, lengthy process. Often each candidate architecture will need to be benchmarked using a variety of tools to assess potential performance. However, benchmarking alone often provides only limited insight into the potential scalability and suitability of each architecture for procur...

Kinetics of DNA duplex formation: A-tracts versus AT-tracts.

The hybridisation and melting of DNA strands are critical steps in many biological processes, but still a deeper understanding of the kinetics is lacking. This is evident from the absence of a clear correlation between rate constants for duplex formation and the number of bases in the strand or the sequence. Here we have probed differences between formation times of A-tracts and AT-tracts by st...

Why do we take pictures and videos? Often, the answer is that we hope to capture moments in time, so that we can later recall and savor them once again. Digital cameras and camcorders are making it ever easier to record these moments, but often, something is lost. Photographs freeze time and space, losing the sense of motion in a scene and losing the freedom of motion available to the original ...
