DNA microarrays were rapidly scaled up from 256 to 6.5 million targets, and although antibody microarrays were proposed earlier, sensitive multiplex sandwich assays have only been scaled up to a few tens of targets. Cross-reactivity, arising because detection antibodies are mixed, is a known weakness of multiplex sandwich assays that is mitigated by lengthy optimization. Here, we introduce (1) ...

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a certain class of local arithmetical congruence monoids (or ACMs) to have accepted elasticity. Let a and b be positive integers with a ≤ b and a ≡ a (mod b). Under these conditions, the arithmetic sequence a, a+ b, a+ 2b, a+ 3b, . . . is closed under multiplication and is a multiplicative semigroup. Setting M(a, b) = {a+ kb | k ∈ N0} ∪ {1} produc...

This paper presents new algorithms for the Signal and Message asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) and their modelling and analysis using Petri net techniques.

Background: Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can still be found in many homes in Australia and other countries. ACMs present a health risk when they are damaged or disturbed, such as during do-it-yourself home renovations. However, community members lack knowledge and awareness about asbestos identification and its safe management in residential settings. Objective: The objective of our stu...

Mitochondria are at the crux of life and death and as such have become ideal targets of intervention in cardiovascular disease. Generally, current methods to measure mitochondrial dysfunction rely on working with the isolated organelle and fail to incorporate mitochondrial function in a cellular context. Extracellular flux methodology has been particularly advantageous in this respect; however,...

Self Organizing Maps (SOMs) have attracted the attention of many computer vision scientists, particularly when dealing with image segmentation as a contour extraction problem. The idea of utilizing the prototypes (weights) of a SOM to model an evolving contour has produced a new class of Active Contour Models (ACM s), known as SOM based ACM s. Such models have been proposed in general with the ...

This essay is about agricultural content management system (ACMS) based on project implementation and Internet, which defines; consist of content, system structure and the established foundation of Red hat content management system (CMS) open source council.

Incentive/disincentive (I/D) and cost-plus-time (A+B) are two of the most widely used alternative contracting methods (ACMs) for accelerating construction highway infrastructure improvement projects. However, little is known about effects trade-offs in terms project schedule cost performance. This study addresses this problem by creating testing a stochastic decision support model called accele...

This paper reports the development and implementation of an energy aware autonomous wireless condition monitoring sensor system (ACMS) powered by ambient vibrations. An electromagnetic (EM) generator has been designed to harvest sufficient energy to power a radio-frequency (RF) linked accelerometer-based sensor system. The ACMS is energy aware and will adjust the measurement/transmit duty cycle...

This article identifies the essential technologies and considerations for development of an Automated Cow Monitoring System (ACMS) which uses 3D camera technology assessment Body Condition Score (BCS). We present a comparison range common techniques at different developmental stages Computer Vision including data pre-processing implementation Deep Learning both 2D formats commonly captured by c...
