[1] Simulated aerosol fields from a coupled aerosol/atmospheric circulation model that includes prediction of both sulfate aerosol size and number are evaluated. Sensitivity tests are used to evaluate uncertainties due to the inclusion of primary emitted particulate sulfate as a means of representing nucleation of particles in subgrid-scale plumes, the use of two boundary layer aerosol nucleati...

The segregation of DNA before cell division is essential for faithful genetic inheritance. In many bacteria, segregation of low-copy number plasmids involves an active partition system composed of a nonspecific DNA-binding ATPase, ParA, and its stimulator protein ParB. The ParA/ParB system drives directed and persistent movement of DNA cargo both in vivo and in vitro. Filament-based models akin...

Genetic variants, including single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy number variants (CNVs), in the non-coding regions of the human genome can play an important role in human traits and complex diseases. Most of the genome-wide association study (GWAS) signals map to non-coding regions and potentially point to non-coding variants, whereas their functional interpretation is challenging. In thi...

A truncated determinant algorithm is used to study the physical effects of the quark eigenmodes associated with eigenvalues below 420 MeV. This initial high statistics study focuses on coarse (6) lattices (with O(a) improved gauge action), light internal quark masses and large physical volumes. Three features of full QCD are examined: topological charge distributions, string breaking as observe...

Three complementary views on the QCD vacuum structure, all based on eigenmodes of the overlap operator, are reported in their interrelation: (i) spectral density, localization and chiral properties of the modes, (ii) the possibility of filtering the field strength with the aim to detect selfdual and antiselfdual domains and (iii) the various faces of the topological charge density, with and wit...

The eigenmodes of the Dirac operator carry information about the topological content of the background gauge field. The Atiyah-Singer index theorem tells us that in a sector with topological charge Qt the Dirac operator has at least |Qt| zero modes. In the presence of light dynamical fermions, the light quark determinant should suppress topological sectors with large |Qt|. As a consequence we e...

When a system jams it undergoes a transition from a flowing to a rigid state. Despite this important change in the dynamics, the internal structure of the system remains disordered in the solid as well as the fluid phase. In this way jamming is very different from crystallization, the other common way in which a fluid solidifies. Jamming is a paradigm for thinking about how many different types...

ISSN: 2319-1120 /V2N3: 299-309 © IJAEST Abstract— Wireless sensor network technologies normally deploy a large number of small, low cost sensors, fairly densely that can observe and influence the physical world around them by gathering physical information, transform it into electrical signals, send it to a remote location to do some analysis and deploy the results in different applications.
