We introduce a sequence-dependent parametrization for a coarse-grained DNA model [T. E. Ouldridge, A. A. Louis, and J. P. K. Doye, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 085101 (2011)] originally designed to reproduce the properties of DNA molecules with average sequences. The new parametrization introduces sequence-dependent stacking and base-pairing interaction strengths chosen to reproduce the melting temperat...

in the present study, the influence of annealing temperature on mechanical properties and the microstructure of a high manganese austenitic steel (fe-30mn-4al-4si-0.5c) was investigated. x-ray diffractometry, optical and scanning electron microscopy, hardness and tensile tests were used to analyze the relationship between mechanical properties and microstructure after annealing process. the res...

As an increasing number of processes are being integrated into Lab-on-a-chip devices, there is an increasing need for flexible and accurate sample manipulation techniques for effective transport and separation. Conductivity differences between running buffer and analyte samples can arise as a product of on-chip processing, or by design. The two situations studied here are sample pumping (where ...

Abstract Original techniques are proposed for the improvement of surface current mapping with phased-array oceanographic high-frequency radars. The first idea, which works only in bistatic configuration, is to take advantage a remote transmitter perform an automatic correction receiving antennas based on signal received direct path, adjustment that designated as “self-calibration.” second appli...

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent non-traumatic neurological disease capable of causing disability in young adults. Detection of MS lesions with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most common technique. However, manual interpretation of vast amounts of data is often tedious and error-prone. Furthermore, changes in lesions are often subtle and extremely unrepresentati...

Two factors are mainly responsible for the stability of the DNA double helix: base pairing between complementary strands and stacking between adjacent bases. By studying DNA molecules with solitary nicks and gaps we measure temperature and salt dependence of the stacking free energy of the DNA double helix. For the first time, DNA stacking parameters are obtained directly (without extrapolation...

In this paper, we investigate the method of stacked generalization in combining models derived from diierent subsets of a training dataset by a single learning algorithm, as well as diierent algorithms. The simplest way to combine predictions from competing models is majority vote, and the eeect of the sampling regime used to generate training subsets has already been studied in this context|wh...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was for evaluation of relationship between hand function and age, sex by Jebson Taylor Test.This study determined whether age might be a factor when associated with sex. Methods: In this study Jebson Taylor was evaluated on hand in 180 normal males and females (0.50% male, 0.50% female) in each of the following 7 subtest in 3 age groups: (15-25), (35-45)...

Abstract In this paper, I discuss a possibility for extending the nanosyntactic approach to case assignment and realization in order to model case stacking. Building on the work by Caha (2009), I show that nanosyntax can derive instances of overt case stacking as well as abstract case stacking. emain idea is that a case checking head can attract more than one K(ase)P. is leads to congurations ...

Few-layer graphene (FLG) has been predicted to exist in various crystallographic stacking sequences, which can strongly influence the material's electronic properties. We demonstrate an accurate and efficient method to characterize stacking order in FLG using the distinctive features of the Raman 2D-mode. Raman imaging allows us to visualize directly the spatial distribution of Bernal (ABA) and...
