The mechanism by which herpesviruses acquire their tegument is not yet clear. One model is that outer tegument proteins are recruited by the cytoplasmic tails of viral glycoproteins. In the case of herpes simplex virus tegument protein VP22, interactions with the glycoproteins gE and gD have been shown. We have previously shown that the C-terminal half of VP22 contains the necessary signal for ...

The Interaction Network Ontology (INO) has been demonstrated to be valuable in providing a structured ontological vocabulary for literature mining of gene-gene interactions from biomedical literature. Our analysis of the Learning Logic in Language (LLL) challenge and vaccine datasets showed that many interactions are signaled with 2 or more interaction keywords used in combination. In this pape...

Gene-environment (GE) interaction has important implications in the etiology of complex diseases that are caused by a combination of genetic factors and environment variables. Several authors have developed GE analysis in the context of independent subjects or longitudinal data using a gene-set. In this paper, we propose to analyze GE interaction for discrete and continuous phenotypes in family...

The electrical parameters of the prototype memristors based on p-Si/p-Ge/n + -Si(001) epitaxial heterostructures with Ag and Ru electrodes have been studied. demonstrated smaller electroforming voltage greater ratio currents in low high resistance values as compared to electrodes. Also, an inversion switching polarity was observed Thses effects originate from a higher mobility 3+ ions threading...

The implementation of graphene in semiconducting technology requires precise knowledge about the graphene-semiconductor interface. In our work the structure and electronic properties of the graphene/n-Ge(110) interface are investigated on the local (nm) and macro (from μm to mm) scales via a combination of different microscopic and spectroscopic surface science techniques accompanied by density...

We propose a multiple-document summa-rization system with user interaction. Our system extracts keywords from sets of documents to be summarized and shows the keywords to a user on the screen. Among them, the user selects some keywords reflecting his/her needs. Our system controls the produced summary by using these selected keywords. For evaluation of our method, we participated in TSC3 of NTC...

Exchange-constants have been evaluated from first-principles in Mn-doped Ge, mainly focusing on the effects of the impurity concentration and of the arrangement of Mn-atoms in the semiconducting matrix. As expected, the Mn-concentration strongly affects the magnitude of the exchange constants (especially between Mn as first-nearest-neighbors (NNs) in the cation position). Interestingly, the arr...

Al-Mg-Ge alloys are considered to exhibit similar aging behavior as Al-Mg-Si alloys, therefore, they have been alternatively used analyze precipitates in alloys. However, the interactions between solute atoms and vacancies not clear. In this study, binding energies were investigated using first-principles calculations, similarities differences of biding energy each alloy analyzed. Comparing thr...

It is demonstrated that the Sutherland Hamiltonian is equivalent to particles interacting with the vector statistical interaction on the rim of a circle, to within a nonsingular gauge transformation. PACS numbers: 05.45.+b, 03.65.Ge
