This paper presents a numerical investigation of regime transition of flow of ellipsoidal particles and a comparison with that of spherical particle assembly. Particle assemblies constituting spherical and ellipsoidal particle of 2.5:1 aspect ratio are examined at separate instances in similar flow conditions in a shear cell model that is numerically developed based on the discrete element meth...

The transposon family of mobile genetic elements is widespread among organisms. While only a handful of these elements have been analyzed biochemically, all the elements that have been studied in detail share similar reaction steps. These steps that compose the transpositional recombination process are two distinct types of polynucleotidyl transfer reactions which generate a strand transfer pro...

An increasing number of structural studies of large macromolecular complexes, both in X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, have resulted in intermediate-resolution (5-10 A) density maps. Despite being limited in resolution, significant structural and functional information may be extractable from these maps. To aid in the analysis and annotation of these complexes, we have develo...

Introduction: On the basis of several experiments on separates of the EH5 chondrite St. Mark’s, we will argue that the “subsolar” noble gas component is a mixture of solar-like, Qand terrestrial noble gases. The subsolar noble gas component has been found, in particular, in E chondrites [1,2] but also in other meteorite classes (e.g. aubrites, CO or CH chondrites [3-5]). This component is eleme...

In this paper, the tensile testing method at the intermediate strain rate is established and tensile tests of steel sheets for an auto-body have been performed to evaluate dynamic material properties. A high speed tensile testing machine has been developed for tensile tests at the intermediate strain rate. A simple jig fixture for gripping a specimen has been designed to diminish the load ringi...

Branched helical junctions are common in nucleic acids. In DNA, the four-way junction (Holliday junction) is an essential intermediate in homologous recombination and is a highly dynamic structure, capable of stacking conformer transitions and branch migration. Our single-molecule fluorescence studies provide unique insight into the energy landscape of Holliday junctions by visualizing these pr...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the problem of finding a common element of the set of fixed points of an asymptotically strict pseudocontractive mapping in the intermediate sense and the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem for a monotone and Lipschitz continuous mapping. We introduce an extragradient-like iterative algorithm that is based on the extragradient-like a...

Setting up experimental networks of a sufficient size is a crucial element for the development of communication services. Unfortunately, the required equipment, like routers and hosts, is expensive and its availability is limited. On the other hand, simulations often lack interoperability to real systems and scalability, which limits the scope and the validity of their results. Therefore, an in...

In this paper, we introduce and study a multiple-conclusion cut-free propositional Gentzen calculus with subformula property for first-degree entailments (in Dunn’s sense [4], [5]) in Dummett’s linear intermediate logic LC [3] that is obtained from Gentzen’s propositional calculus LK [6] by restricting the rules of introduction of negation to the right side of sequents by allowing their right s...
