Here, we report the closed genome sequence of Clostridium aceticum, an Rnf- and cytochrome-containing autotrophic acetogen that is able to convert CO2 and H2 to acetate using the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. The genome consists of a circular chromosome (4.2 Mbp) and a small circular plasmid (5.7 kbp).

In this paper, we focus on invariant texture segmentation, and propose a new method using circular Gabor filters (CGF) for rotation invariant texture segmentation. The traditional Gabor function is modified into a circular symmetric version. The rotation invariant texture features are achieved via the channel output of the CGF. A new scheme of the selection of Gabor parameters is also proposed ...

The results study of the motion along a curvilinear trajectory multi-axle vehicle axle group elastic wheel on ground plane with high coefficient adhesion are presented. is considered as an integral mechanism, which includes hard rim, tire body and large contact patch.The analysis previous studies showed that during movement curved trajectory, rim rotates simultaneously its lateral offset relati...

Introduction: Physical sedimentology experiments using a 39% concentration of sulfuric acid have produced three distinct features, which are similar to features seen on Mars. However, these sedimen-tary features could not be created using pure water in the laboratory. These three features include deeply-incised, narrow channels, cracks that run parallel to the flow direction, and circular depre...

A pair of proteins is defined to be related by a circular permutation if the N-terminal region of one protein has significant sequence similarity to the C-terminal of the other and vice versa. To detect pairs of proteins that might be related by circular permutation, we implemented a procedure based on a combination of a fast screening algorithm that we had designed and manual verification of c...

We identify nine new faint thermal sources on Io via color ratio images constructed from relatively high spatial resolution Galileo NIMS data acquired late in the mission. All of these identifications are associated with small dark paterae. We utilize NIMS data to quantify their volcanic thermal emission as 0.53 10 W (or 0.5% of Io’s total heat flow). In addition, we refine our previous estimat...

This paper demonstrates several group features observed from small seismic waveforms and distinguishes abnormal group features that preceded destructive major shocks from normal ones. Important group features discussed in this paper include direction of seismic wave’s first motion, amplitude ratio, half period of the first motion, frequency components of earthquakes, and linearity of seismic wa...
