This paper designs evaluation method based on the grey theory which aims at evaluate the usage of Wireless Sensor Networks in rail traffic. With the features of the facts that: The requested data sizes for assessment via grey theory method are not big, distribution rules of the data samples are not obliged ,and the evaluation workload is small , we use grey theory to verify each index mark in c...

This paper explores lattices of Boolean functions which are built by derivative operations of the Boolean Differential Calculus [2], [8], [9]. Such operations are needed to design circuits with short delay and low power consumption [11] as well as to calculate minimal complete sets of fitting test patterns [12]. It will be shown that each derivative operation of a lattice of Boolean functions c...

BACKGROUND Himalayan region of Pakistan has been known as a rich source for valuable medicinal plants. The present work is the documentation of indigenous knowledge of highly utilized plants as natural remedy by the local inhabitants of the northwest part of the country. METHODOLOGY Data on highly utilized medicinal plants were collected during May-September 2012 using semi-structured questio...

Short linear motifs (SLiM) are short peptides that facilitate protein function and protein-protein interactions. Viruses utilize these motifs to enter into the host, interact with cellular proteins, or egress from host cells. Studying functional motifs may help to predict protein characteristics, interactions, or the putative cellular role of a protein. In virology, it may reveal aspects of the...

Somatic cell nuclei injected into amphibian oocytes enlarge, exchange protein with the surrounding cytoplasm, and actively synthesize RNA for weeks. The message activity of the RNAs synthesized within the oocytes can be detected as new proteins made a few days after the injection of somatic nucleic. The oocyte cytoplasm seems to reprogram the injected nuclei, allowing the expression only of tho...
