Temperature-sensitive mutations in the RNA2 through RNA11 genes of yeast prevent the processing of nuclear pre-mRNAs. We have raised antisera that detect the RNA2 and RNA3 proteins in immunoblots of extracts of yeast containing high copy number RNA2 and RNA3 plasmids. Subcellular fractionation of yeast cells that overproduce the RNA2 and RNA3 proteins has revealed that these proteins are enrich...

Recent advances in the ability to efficiently characterize tumor genomes is enabling targeted drug development, which requires rigorous biomarker-based patient selection to increase effectiveness. Consequently, representative DNA biomarkers become equally important in pre-clinical studies. However, it is still unclear how well these markers are maintained between the primary tumor and the patie...

When exploiting instruction level parallelism in a runtime optimizing compiler, it is indispensable to quickly remove redundant computations and memory accesses to make resources available. We propose a fast and efficient algorithm called Partial Value Number Redundancy Elimination (PVNRE), which completely fuses Partial Redundancy Elimination (PRE) and Global Value Numbering (GVN). Using value...

This year, we participated in TRECVID 2010 content-based copy detection task. In this notebook paper we will describe our work in details. Different from last year when we just used SURF (speeded up robust feature) as visual feature, this year we employed a combination of four different features for our rough detection process: global SURF, center SURR, global color correlogram and center corre...

Software for two dimensional visualization of values that have been automatically measured with in place sensors is difficult to find. Usually these programs assume a regular area and a regular grid of measuring points. In practice, however, both the shape of the area and the position of the sensors are often irregular. This paper describes the program TDRFree, which visualizes the soil moistur...
