Analytical solutions have been obtained for both conservative and non-conservative forms of one-dimensional transport and transport-dispersion equations applicable for pollution as a result of a non-conservative pollutant-disposal in an open channel with linear spatially varying transport velocity and nonlinear spatially varying dispersion coefficient on account of a steady unpolluted lateral i...

MOTIVATION Metabolic pathways are an important class of molecular networks consisting of compounds, enzymes and their interactions. The understanding of global metabolic pathways is extremely important for various applications in ecology and pharmacology. However, large parts of metabolic pathways remain unknown, and most organism-specific pathways contain many missing enzymes. RESULTS In thi...

The expression of the high mobility group I (HMGI)-C chromatin component was shown previously to be essential for the establishment of the neoplastic phenotype in retrovirally transformed thyroid cell lines. To identify possible targets of the HMGI-C gene product, we have analyzed the AP-1 complex in normal, fully transformed and antisense HMGI-C-expressing rat thyroid cells. We show that neopl...

Biochemical pathways, such as metabolic, regulatory, and signal transduction pathways, constitute complex networks of functional and physical interactions between molecular species in the cell. They are represented in a natural way as graphs, with molecules as nodes and processes as arcs. In particular, metabolic pathways are represented as directed graphs, with the substrates, products, and en...

Phase transformation temperature is one of the most important parameters for the shape memory alloys (SMAs). The most popular method to determine these phase transformation temperatures is the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), but due to the limitation of the DSC testing itself, it made it difficult for the finished product which is not in the powder form. A novel method which uses the U...

We introduce a new notion in self-assembly, that of transforming the dynamics of assembly. This notion allows us to have transformation of the plane computed within the assembly process. More specifically, we study a zooming transformation. First we show that the possibility of doing that transformation depends on the regularity of the assembly process, as expressed by the order condition. Then...

Rat cecal microflora from high- and low-fiber-fed animals hydrolyzed aflatoxin conjugates to metabolites indistinguishable from aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin P1, but aflatoxicol was not a transformation product.

Executive Summary In today's complex and everchanging communications industry, dramatic transformations in standards, technology, and the ecosystem that provides them are changing the way solutions are developed, validated, and deployed. An important strategy for telecommunication equipment vendors to remain competitive is to consolidate standards-based commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) component...
