In the past, the extended corresponding states approach to fluid property prediction has been restricted to Ž . non-polar fluids e.g., hydrocarbons and some common non-polar inorganics due to the lack of an accurate way to predict the required shape factors. In this work, a new predictive method to obtain shape factors for the Ž . extended corresponding states theory ECST has been developed whi...

11 TransRate is a tool for reference-free quality assessment of de novo transcriptome assemblies. 12 Using only sequenced reads as the input, TransRate measures the quality of individual contigs 13 and whole assemblies, enabling assembly optimization and comparison. TransRate can 14 accurately evaluate assemblies of conserved and novel RNA molecules of any kind in any 15 species. We show that i...

E-government projects are getting a strong attention from the UAE government, keen on using this technology to facilitate its services to citizens and customers. In Dubai, e-Government's target is ambitious: it is required that over 90 per cent of the services on offer from the key government departments in Dubai are offered online by the end of 2007. E-government projects can easily be put at ...

an analytical equation of state by song and mason is developed to calculate the pvt properties ofmercury. the equation of state is based on the statistical-mechanical perturbation theory of hard convexbodies and can be written as a fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exists three temperaturedependentparameters in the equation of state; the second virial coefficient, an effective molecu...

Modelling the appearance of 3D objects undergoing large pose variation relies on recovering correspondence of both shape and texture across views. The problem is hard because changes in pose not only introduce self-occlusions hence inconsistent 2D features between views, but also cause non-linear variations in both the shape and texture of object appearance. In this paper, we present an approac...

5. Abstract Using results of the band structure calculations in the local-spin-density approximation we demonstrate how the crystal distortions affect the magnetic structure of orthorhombically distorted perovskites leading to a non-collinear spin arrangement. Our results suggest that the non-collinearity of the spin magnetic moments, being generally small in LaMO 3 series with M=Cr-Fe, is larg...
