DNA and DNA superstructures were transcribed into pore-structure-tunable mesoporous silicas via the electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA backbones and the positively charged quaternary ammonium groups of a co-structure directing agent (CSDA).

This paper proposes a low-cost high-throughput multi standard transform (MST) core, which can support MPEG1/2/4 (8 × 8), H.264 (8 × 8, 4 × 4)[2][3], and VC-1 (8 × 8, 8 × 4, 4×8, 4×4) transforms[4]. Common sharing distributed arithmetic (CSDA) combines factor sharing and distributed arithmetic sharing techniques, efficiently reducing the number of adders for high hardware-sharing capability[5][7...

The Communication Self-Assessment Scale for Deaf Adults (CSDA) evaluates difficult communication situations, their importance to the respondent, communication strategies, and communication attitudes. Scale items use simple descriptive language in active declarative form. Each scale is comprised of three or more subscales. The subject responds using a three point semantic differential based on f...

Socio-technical networks can be productively modeled at several granularities, including the interaction of actors, how this interaction is mediated by digital artifacts, and sociograms that model direct ties between the actors themselves. Cohesive subgraph detection algorithms (CSDA, a.k.a. “community detection algorithms”) are often applied to sociograms, but also have utility in analyzing gr...

A novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay is demonstrated by developing a cross strand-displacement amplification (CSDA) method to enhance the SERS signals. Highly sensitive and selective detection of any single-stranded DNA is achieved and an aptasensor for proteins is constructed.

To reduce the server load and communication costs of machine-to-machine (M2M) systems, sensor data are aggregated in M2M gateways. Aggregation logic is typically programmed in the C language and embedded into the firmware. However, developing aggregation programs is difficult for M2M service providers because it requires gatewayspecific knowledge and consideration of resource issues, especially...

Sulfur trafficking in living organisms relies on transpersulfuration reactions consisting in the enzyme-catalyzed transfer of S atoms via activated persulfidic S across protein-protein interfaces. The recent elucidation of the mechanistic basis for transpersulfuration in the CsdA-CsdE model system has paved the way for a better understanding of its role under oxidative stress. Herein we present...

During cellular adaptation to low temperature, Escherichia coli transiently synthesizes the major cold-shock protein CspA. It was found that adaptation to cold shock is blocked when the 143-base sequence of the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of the cspA mRNA is overproduced. The overproduction of this UTR at 15 degrees C caused the synthesis of not only CspA but also other cold-shock proteins ...
