The structure of macromolecules and their complexes dictate their biological function. In "footprinting", the solvent accessibility of the residues that constitute proteins, DNA and RNA can be determined from their reactivity to an exogenous reagent such as the hydroxyl radical (·OH). While ·OH generation for protein footprinting is achieved by radiolysis, photolysis and electrochemistry, we pr...

In this study, we used shape memory alloys as actuators to build a biomorphic robot which can imitate the motion of an earthworm. The robot can be used to explore in a narrow space. Therefore we chose shape memory alloys as actuators. Because of the small deformation of a wire shape memory alloy, spiral shape memory alloys are selected and installed both on the X axis and Y axis (each axis havi...

Occupational asthma due to the pyrolysis products of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) produced by shrink wrapping processes has previously been reported. The first case of occupational asthma in a shrink wrap worker using a different plastic, polyethylene, is reported; the association was confirmed by specific bronchial provocation testing.

We consider a property stronger than the Sacks property which holds between the ground model and the Sacks forcing extension. 1. The Shrink Wrapping Property Suppose that V is a Sacks forcing extension of a model M . Then the Sacks property holds between V and M . That is, for each x ∈ ω, there exists a tree T ⊆ ω in M such that x ∈ [T ] and each level of T is finite. The following is a stronge...

With the development of the Internet, the World-WideWeb has become everyone’s invaluable information source. However, most of data on the Web is currently in the form of HTML pages, which is neither well-structured nor associated with schema. It is almost impossible to use such data efficiently. Web wrapper technology has been developed to transform unstructured /semi-structured data to semi-st...

Bon Ki Koo et al. 235 ABSTRACT⎯A new mesh reconstruction scheme for approximating a surface from a set of unorganized 3D points is proposed. The proposed method, called a shrink-wrapped boundary face (SWBF) algorithm, produces the final surface by iteratively shrinking the initial mesh generated from the definition of the boundary faces. SWBF surmounts the genus-0 spherical topology restriction...

JavaScript is widely used in web-based applications and is increasing popular with developers. So-called ”browser wars” in recent years have focused on JavaScript performance, specifically claiming comparative results based on benchmark suites such as SunSpider and V8. In this paper we evaluate the behavior of JavaScript web applications from commercial websites and compare this behavior with t...

Soil stabilization is the alteration of property of locally available soil to improve its engineering performance. Stabilization can increase the shear strength of soil and control shrink – swell properties of soil, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub grade to support the pavements and foundation. The objective of this paper is to expose the possibilities of paper sludge and rice ...
