this study is focused on investigating the parameters of laser percussion drilling process of nickel-base super alloy inconel 718 with thickness of 1 mm. fiber laser with the power of 500 watts was used as the laser source. laser pulse frequency, duty cycle, laser power, focal point position, were assumed as the laser drilling process variables. the hole geometry features, i.e. entrance hole di...

We propose a decentralized downlink scheduling protocol for wireless cellular networks that allows each base station to control its transmission power. On the beginning of each scheduling period, neighbor base stations exchange their local system states, i.e., channel, traffic and position statistics of their local mobile users. But on each slot of the current scheduling period, the base statio...

in this paper, the concept of {sl local base with  stratifiedstructure} in $i$-topological vector spaces is introduced. weprove that every $i$-topological vector space has a balanced localbase with stratified structure. furthermore, a newcharacterization of $i$-topological vector spaces by means of thelocal base with stratified structure is given.

Specific interactions between T7 RNA polymerase and its promoter have been studied by a simple steady-state kinetic assay using synthetic oligonucleotide promoters that produce a short five-base message. A series of promoters with upstream lengths extending to promoter positions -19, -17, -14, and -12 show that promoters extending to -19 and -17 produce very specific transcripts with initiation...

Cytokinesis by contraction of the base of the cleavage furrow and the dependence of the position of the future furrow on the arrangement of cytoplasm under it have been demonstrated at relatively earlier stages of cleavage in amphibian eggs. The following experiments and observations on dividing eggs of the newt Cynops pyrrhogaster indicated the presence of the contracting force at the base of ...

This paper introduces a design and implementation of a base station, capable of positioning sensor nodes using an optical scheme. The base station consists of a pulse laser module, optical detectors and beam splitter, which are mounted on a rotation-stage, and a Time to Digital Converter (TDC). The optical pulse signal transmitted to the sensor node with a Corner Cube Retro-reflector (CCR) is r...

We developed a user friendly software tool to identify the potential binding sites of any regulatory protein based on Shannon relative entropy method. Known DtxR binding sites of Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae) were used to generate a position specific reference profile for DtxR which was used to identify the potential DNA binding sites within the upstream sequences of Corynebacter...

Oxidation of genomic DNA forms the guanine lesion 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). When in the template base position during DNA synthesis the 8-oxoG lesion has dual coding potential by virtue of its anti- and syn-conformations, base pairing with cytosine and adenine, respectively. This impacts mutagenesis, because insertion of adenine opposite template 8-oxoG can result in a G to T transvers...

Multiplex bisulfite-PCR sequencing is a convenient and scalable method for the quantitative determination of the methylation state of target DNA regions. A challenge of this application is the presence of CpGs in the same region where primers are being placed. A common solution to the presence of CpGs within a primer-binding region is to substitute a base degeneracy at the cytosine position. Ho...

The base-pairing fidelity of oligonucleotides depends on the identity of the nucleobases involved and the position of matched or mismatched base pairs in the duplex. Nucleobases forming weak base pairs, as well as a terminal position favor mispairing. We have searched for 5'-appended acylamido caps that enhance the stability and base-pairing fidelity of oligonucleotides with a 5'-terminal 2'-de...
