The importance of plastic gears for modern industry is growing every year. The engineer sizing plastic gears has a very difficult task. There is no international standard available for the strength analysis. The only method publicly accepted is the German guideline VDI2545. In addition to a lack of calculation methods there is a need for measuring material properties. This paper shall give an o...

VDAC (voltage-dependent anion channel) is the pore-forming protein located in the outer mitochondrial membrane. In higher eukaryotes, three genes encode VDAC. Nevertheless, the knowledge of VDAC isoforms is mainly restricted to VDAC1, the only isoform that has been characterized from living tissues to date. We have highly enriched the isoform VDAC2 using as starting material bovine spermatozoa....

Sorted Sliding Window Compression (SSWC) uses a new model (Sorted Sliding Window Model | SSWM) to encode strings e cient, which appear again while encoding a symbol sequence. The SSWM holds statistics of all strings up to certain length k in a sliding window of size n (the sliding window is de ned like in lz77). The compression program can use the SSWM to determine if the string of the next sym...

The continued viability of the American textile industry hinges on the ability of manufacturers, advertisers, and retailers to predict, develop, and communicate styles of apparel and other textile products that resonate with the desires of the consuming public. We are constructing an on-line visual database to allow us to explore the role played by the perceived "fit" between a product and a va...

ion upon those sensible forms.1 This doctrine, in which the human mind becomes formally identical with the object of cognition, was accused of being unintelligible mystification by the ‘New Philosophy’ of the seventeenth century. Leibniz, for example, in the preface to his New Essays, writes scornfully of the Scholastics’ ‘ “intentional species” which travel from objects to us and find their wa...

IDC in soybean has been improved through conventional breeding approaches (Cianzio, 1991; Cianzio and Soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr.] breeders have improved resisVoss, 1994; Hintz et al., 1987), IDC-resistant lines may tance to iron-deficiency chlorosis (IDC) using conventional breeding have lower yield potential than IDC-susceptible cultiapproaches; however, many IDC-resistant cultivars have...
