The paper uses mesoscopic, non-linear lattice dynamics based (Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois, PBD) modeling to describe thermal properties of DNA below and near the denaturation temperature. Computationally efficient notation is introduced for relevant statistical mechanics. Computed melting profiles long short heterogeneous sequences are presented, using a recently reparametrization PBD model, critica...

Abstract Transmission rates of COVID-19 have been associated with the density buildings where contact among individuals partially contributes to transmission. The research sought analyze spatial distribution building derived from satellite images and determine its implications health risk management using Yogyakarta surrounding districts as an example. Fine-scale obtained through remote sensing...

Introduction: Bacteriobilia, the colonization of bacteria in bile, can be caused by obstructive cholangitis or preoperative biliary drainage (PBD), and is not uncommon condition patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study aims to investigate effect intraoperatively detected bacteriobilia on surgical outcomes after PD. Methods: For who underwent PD Samsung Medical Center between...

The domain of applications that can be created with programming-by-demonstration (PBD) can be extended by improving the developers’ ability to communicate with the system. The techniques provided in this thesis will allow nonprogrammers to create a new variety of complete, interactive applications including many board games and educational software using PBD. A PBD software tool uses inferencin...

We study how a reduction of the potential duration of unemployment benefit receipt (PBD) affects medium-run earnings and employment of job seekers. The analysis is based on a Swiss reform that reduced PBD from 24 months to 18 months for job seekers younger than 55 years in 2003. Adopting a difference-indifference framework, we find that this reduction in PBD increases employment and earnings of...

Syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (sPMMA)-polybutadiene (PBD)—sPMMA triblock copolymers, or MBM, have been studied in the presence of o-xylene which is a selective solvent for the central PBD block. Syndiotactic PMMA is known to self associate in o-xylene. The central PBD sequence does not prevent the selfassociation of sPMMA from occurring. Actually, this phenomenon contributes to the sta...

Privacy remains among the toughest challenges for the consumer-facing Internet of Things (IoT). Privacy-by-Design (PbD) is the most recent attempt to address it. Thereby, privacy goals become part of the technical specification and are resolved directly in the development process. This contemplation opposes existing approaches that retrofit protection measures as an afterthought, often even aft...
