Probabilistic Bidirectional Promoter Switches: Noncoding RNA Takes Control

Probabilistic Bidirectional Promoter Switches: Noncoding RNA Takes Control

The discovery of probabilistic promoter switches in genes that code for class I major histocompatibility complex receptors in mouse and human provides a useful paradigm to explain programmed cell fate decisions. These switches have preset probabilities of transcribing in either the sense or antisense direction, and the characteristics of individual switches are programmed by the relative affini...

AC-PDP Sustain Driver using Bidirectional Switches

Abstract To minimize the cost and power consumption of PDP TV, a practical sustain circuit topology is presented with an address-and-display-period-separated driving scheme. The proposed sustain driver employs bidirectional switches to reduce the number of components. Operational principles and corresponding features are illustrated and compared with the conventional approach. The valuable cont...

Submicron bidirectional all-optical plasmonic switches

Ultra-small all-optical switches are of importance in highly integrated optical communication and computing networks. However, the weak nonlinear light-matter interactions in natural materials present an enormous challenge to realize efficiently switching for the ultra-short interaction lengths. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a submicron bidirectional all-optical plasmonic switch with an a...

Bidirectional Online Probabilistic Planning

We present Bidirectional Online Probabilistic Planner (BOPP)1, a novel planner that combines elements of Decision Theoretic Planning(DTP) and forward search. In particular, BOPP uses a combination of SPUDD and Upper Confidence Trees(UCT). We present our approach and some experimental results on the domains presented in the boolean fluents MDP track of the International Probabilistic Planning Co...
