Reassembly of fragmented objects from a collection of randomly mixed fragments is a common problem in classical forensics. In this paper we address the digital forensic equivalent, i.e., reassembly of document fragments, using statistical modelling tools applied in data compression. We propose a general process model for automatically analyzing a collection fragments to reconstruct the original...

The mechanism of epigenetic inheritance following DNA replication may involve dissociation of chromosomal proteins from parental DNA and reassembly on daughter strands in a specific order. Here we investigated the behaviour of different types of chromosomal proteins using newly developed methods that allow assessment of the assembly of proteins during DNA replication. Unexpectedly, most chromat...

Impairment of replication fork progression is a serious threat to living organisms and a potential source of genome instability. Studies in prokaryotes have provided evidence that inactivated replication forks can restart by the reassembly of the replication machinery. Several strategies for the processing of inactivated replication forks before replisome reassembly have been described. Most of...

Succinyl-coenzyme A synthetase of Escherichia coli has an alpha 2 beta 2 subunit structure. By measuring reconstituted enzyme activity present after addition of purified alpha or beta subunits to cell extracts followed by refolding, we have shown that extracts contain no significant excess of either subunit species. This equivalence suggests that the expression of the respective structural gene...

In mammalian cells, the inheritance of the Golgi apparatus into the daughter cells during each cycle of cell division is mediated by a disassembly and reassembly process, and this process is precisely controlled by phosphorylation and ubiquitination. VCIP135 (valosin-containing protein p97/p47 complex-interacting protein, p135), a deubiquitinating enzyme required for p97/p47-mediated postmitoti...

Golgi reassembly stacking protein of 65 kDa (GRASP65) and Golgi reassembly stacking protein of 55 kDa (GRASP55) were originally identified as Golgi stacking proteins; however, subsequent GRASP knockdown experiments yielded inconsistent results with respect to the Golgi structure, indicating a limitation of RNAi-based depletion. In this study, we have applied the recently developed clustered reg...

This article discusses the reassembly of a mechanical system for 3D printing plastic parts to be used plasma arc additive manufacturing. The main issues in converting an existing printer designed producing metal are: control welding power source; installation and realization movement with torch; set height zero layer; setting up program software generate file.

Reconstructions of the early thermal history of the H-chondrite parent body have focused on two competing hypotheses. The first posits an undisturbed thermal evolution in which the degree of metamorphism increases with depth, yielding an “onion-shell” structure. The second posits an early fragmentation–reassembly event that interrupted this orderly cooling process. Here, we test these hypothese...

Surface-wave tomography for the Australian region, using data mostly from portable seismic recorders, reveals a very strong contrast in seismic shear-wave speed beneath central and western Australia and the east of the continent. Shear-wave speeds faster than the continental average extend to at least 200 km depth in the cratonic zone to the west of 140 E. Along an approximately north–south lin...

In this paper, we present an effective algorithm for reassembling three-dimensional apictorial jigsaw puzzles obtained by dividing a curved surface into a finite number of interlocking pieces. As such, our algorithm does not make use of any picture or design that may be painted on the surface; nor does it require a priori knowledge of the overall shape of the original surface. A motivating exam...
