We report on the optical properties of plasmonic hole arrays as they apply to requirements for plasmonic color filters designed for state-of-the-art Si CMOS image sensors. The hole arrays are composed of hexagonally packed subwavelength sized holes on a 150 nm Al film designed to operate at the primary colors of red, green, and blue. Hole array plasmonic filters show peak transmission in the 40...

The RecQ family helicases catalyze the DNA unwinding reaction in an ATP hydrolysis-dependent manner. We investigated the mechanism of DNA unwinding by the Escherichia coli RecQ helicase using a new sensitive helicase assay based on fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS) with two-photon excitation. The FCCS-based assay can be used to measure the unwinding activity under both single a...

Objective: To determine the frequency of the C3435T; a single nucleotide polymorphism of the ABCB1 gene for the first time in Pakistani population and compare it with the data available from other populations. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Sampling was carried out at Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi from August 2012 to May 2013 and institute of Biomed...

to investigate the effects of sowing date (sd) and single irrigation (si) on grain yield of rainfed wheat varieties, this experiment was conducted as split-split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications from sep.2000 to sep.2004 at the main station of dryland agricultural research institute (dari) in maragheh. the treatments included three sowing dates ...

UNLABELLED The KGraph is a data visualization system that has been developed to display the complex relationships between the univariate and bivariate associations among an outcome of interest, a set of covariates, and a set of genetic factors, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). It allows for easy viewing and interpretation of genetic associations, correlations among covariates and...

Genome-wide studies of psychiatric conditions frequently fail to explain a substantial proportion of variance, and replication of individual SNP effects is rare. We demonstrate a selective scoring approach, in which variants from several genes known to directly affect the dopamine system are considered concurrently to explain individual differences in cocaine dependence symptoms. 273 SNPs from ...

The total dose effects and SEEs of RT54SX, a new radiation tolerant antifuse FPGA family, are presented. This device family employs a metal-to-metal antifuse technology and a sea-of-modules architecture. Devices manufactured by both 0.6 μm and 0.25 μm technology levels are tested. The devices demonstrate the total dose tolerance better than 100 krad(Si). They are SEL and SEDR immune. For SEU, 0...

In this paper we propose a modified cross correlation method to align images from the same class in single-particle electron microscopy of highly nonspherical structures. In this new method, first we coarsely align projection images, and then re-align the resulting images using the cross correlation (CC) method. The coarse alignment is obtained by matching the centers of mass and the principal ...

Previous systems for measuring cross-correlated light scattering by small particles suspended in a liquid with multiple-scattering suppression have illuminated the particles with two laser beams. It is shown that multiple-scattering suppression should also occur in cross correlation for a system that employs a single laser beam and two closely spaced detectors with wide fields of view. The sing...

A major issue in k-nearest neighbor classification is how to choose the optimum value of the neighborhood parameter k. Popular cross-validation techniques often fail to guide us well in selecting kmainly due to the presence ofmultipleminimizers of the estimatedmisclassification rate. This article investigates a Bayesian method in this connection, which solves the problem of multiple optimizers....
