Self-assembly of recombinant proteins within the biosilica of living diatoms represents a means to construct functional materials in a reproducible and scalable manner that will enable applications that harness the inherent specificities of proteins to sense and respond to environmental cues. Here we describe the use of a silaffin-derived lysine-rich 39-amino-acid targeting sequence (Sil3T8) th...

Formulation of proper and efficient algorithms for robot kinematics is essential for the analysis and design of serial manipulators. Kinematic modeling of manipulators is most often performed in Cartesian space. However, due to disadvantages of most widely used mathematical constructs for description of orientation such as Euler angles and rotational matrices, a need for unambiguous, compact, s...

objective eudragits are widely used polymers in the production of oral sustained release dosage forms. the application of these polymers in the production of inert insoluble matrices has been investigated. however the effect of particle size, compaction force and presence of aerosil 200 as a glidant on the properties of eudragit rs and rl matrices prepared by direct compression of their physica...

High-resolution laser excitation spectroscopy has been used to record the à E-X̃ A1 electronic transition of SrCH3 in a laser ablation/molecular jet source. Transitions arising from the K =1 ←K =0, K =0←K =1, and K =2←K =1 subbands have been observed and assigned. The data were modeled with E and A1 symmetric top Hamiltonian matrices in a Hund’s case a basis, using a least squares fitting progra...

The QR-algorithm is a renowned method for computing all eigenvalues of an arbitrary matrix. A preliminary unitary similarity transformation to Hessenberg form is indispensible for keeping the computational complexity of the QRalgorithm applied on the resulting Hessenberg matrix under control. The unitary factor Q in the QR-factorization of the Hessenberg matrix H = QR is composed of n − 1 rotat...

an attempt has been made to explore the general trends in the seismic response of planasymmetric structures when subjected to near-fault and far-fault ground motions. systems with structural wall elements in both orthogonal directions considering actual and common nonlinear behavior under bi-directional excitation were studied. idealized single-storey models with uni-axial eccentricity were emp...

The transmit array of multi-overlapped-transmit-subarray configured bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MOTS MIMO) radar is partitioned into a number of overlapped subarrays, which is different from the traditional bistatic MIMO radar. In this paper, a new unitary ESPRIT scheme for joint estimation of the direction of departure (DOD) and the direction of arrival (DOA) for MOTS MIMO radar i...

In this paper, we discuss some properties of joint spectral {radius(jsr)} and  generalized spectral radius(gsr)  for a finite set of upper triangular matrices with entries in a Banach algebra and represent relation between geometric and joint/generalized spectral radius. Some of these are in scalar matrices, but  some are different. For example for a bounded set of scalar matrices,$Sigma$, $r_*...

paddy de-awning using a de-awner increases the uniformity and flow rate of paddy grains through the orifices of hoppers, bucket elevators and chutes. in this study the effects of paddy variety, rotational blade speed and moisture content on performance of a prototype de-awner machine were investigated. the experiment was conducted in a factorial design with three factors, variety (hashemi and b...

A combination of millimeter-wave and high-resolution infrared data is used to analyze the eight lowest-energy vibrational states benzonitrile (C6H5CN, C2v, ?a = 4.5 D), a benzene derivative recently detected in interstellar medium. The overtone v22 2 v33 2, state 1, fundamental v21 1 v15 are studied for first time by rotationally resolved spectroscopy. three former form Coriolis- Darling-Dennis...
