A series of experiments, exploring nonverbal behavior in human-computer systems, is presented. The first two experiments examine the rate and type of facial expressions exhibited across a variety of computer-based tasks. The third experiment focuses on users behavioral responses to agent-based systems, and the fourth experiment focuses on gaze responses in humanhuman, computer-mediated communic...

Poder calorífico de misturas de biodiesel dos ésteres metílicos de colza (RME) e soja (SME) foram determinados usando um calorímetro de combustão de alta precisão. A dependência dos valores calóricos com a temperatura e pressão no intervalo (273-373) K e (1 a 200) bar foram derivados para misturas de RME e SME de biodiesel B100. Foram propostas equações práticas para o cálculo da correção da te...

marble wares found in excavations in jirof and shahr-i sokhta were analyzed by xrf and xrf and examined based on petrographic tests in order to reveal the structural differences. samples of jiroft are mainly yellow in color with scattered yellow veins, while those of the shahr-i sokhta are quite different in form and have colorful veins ranging from yellow to brown. the present study aimed main...

agrobacterium tumefaciens is capable to transfer genes across kingdoms. it can genetically transform not only plant cells, but also many other bacterial, algal, fungal, animal and human cells. this depends on the interactions among a variety of both agrobacterium and host genes. inside the host cell, rad52 which is involved in dna repair is a key gene determining integration of t-dna by homolog...

C. elegans cdf-1 was identified in a genetic screen for regulators of Ras-mediated signaling. CDF-1 is a cation diffusion facilitator protein that is structurally and functionally similar to vertebrate ZnT-1. These proteins have an evolutionarily conserved function as positive regulators of the Ras pathway, and the Ras pathway has an evolutionarily conserved ability to respond to CDF proteins. ...

PURPOSE To characterize proton-driven carrier-mediated dipeptide uptake in primary cultured conjunctival epithelial cells of the pigmented rabbit using beta-alanyl-L-histidine (L-carnosine) as a model dipeptide substrate. METHODS Uptake of tritiated L-carnosine was monitored using conjunctival epithelial cells on days 6 through 8 in culture on a filter support. The structural features of dile...
