Array-based Discovery of Aptamer Pairs Report Title Affinity reagent pairs that recognize distinct epitopes on a target protein can greatly improve the sensitivity and specificity of molecular detection. Importantly, such pairs can be conjugated to generate reagents that achieve twosite “bidentate” target recognition, with affinities greatly exceeding either monovalent component. DNA aptamers a...

Three examples of the inversion of refraction data by downward continuation illustrate the applicability of the method to field data. The first example is a refraction profile from the Mojave Desert, California. These data are spatially aliased and contain clear evidence of lateral inhomogeneity. The inversion in this case produces a broken image in the slowness-depth domain due to the lateral ...

Very recently a new algorithm to the nonnegative single-source shortest path problem on road networks has been discovered. It is very cacheefficient, but only on static road networks. We show how to augment it to the time-dependent scenario. The advantage if the new approach is that it settles nodes, even for a profile query, by scanning all downward edges. We improve the scanning of the downwa...

Riemannian spaces are described by nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinates. We generalize one-way wavefield extrapolation to semiorthogonal Riemannian coordinate systems that include, but are not limited to, ray coordinate systems. We obtain a one-way wavefield extrapolation method that can be used for waves propagating in arbitrary directions, in contrast to downward continuation, which is used ...

A transversely isotropic model in which the tilt is constrained to be normal to the dip (DTI model) allows for simplifications in the imaging and velocity model building efforts as compared to a general TTI model. Though this model, in some cases, can not be represented physically like in the case of conflicting dips, it handles all dips with the assumption of symmetry axis normal to the dip. I...

Many processes in seismic data analysis and seismic imaging can be identified with solution operators of evolution equations. These include data downward continuation and velocity continuation. We have addressed the question of whether isochrons defined by imaging operators can be identified with wavefronts of solutions to an evolution equation. Rays associated with this equation then would pro...
