A lack of information regarding which ecological factors influence restoration success or failure has hindered scientifically based decision-making. We focus on one headwater site to examine influencing divergent outcomes two post-mining stream projects designed improve instream conditions following 70 years mining impacts. One project was simulate natural by creating a morphologically complex ...

In this study, we present a novel embedding model, named ResE, for predicting links in knowledge graphs. ResE employs depth-separable convolution and residual blocks, integrated with channel attention mechanisms. surpasses previously published models, including the closely related TransE by achieving satisfactory mean rank (MR) excellent Hits@10 scores on both WN18RR FB15K-237 benchmarks. is pr...

using of nanofluids and ducts with corrugated walls are both supposed to enhance heat transfer, by increasing the heat transfer fluid conductivity and the heat transfer area respectively. use of a diverging duct with a jet at inlet section may further increase heat transfer by creating recirculation zones inside the duct. in this work two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a nanofluid e...

Ion channels are an ensemble of specialized membrane proteins that act in concert to create and modulate the electrical activity of many excitable cells, including cardiac myocytes. Following completion of the sequencing of various genomes, including that of the human, the complete repertoire of ion channel genes has been elucidated for different species. How transcripts issued from this gene c...

Many Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based medium access control (MAC) protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have been proposed recently. Contrary to the common perception that they are competitors, we argue that the underlying strategies used in these MAC protocols are complementary. Based on this insight, we design CTMAC, a MAC protocol...

Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses such as herpesviruses and bacteriophages infect by delivering their genetic material into cells, a task mediated by a DNA channel called "portal protein." We have used electron cryomicroscopy to determine the structure of bacteriophage P22 portal protein in both the procapsid and mature capsid conformations. We find that, just as the viral capsid undergoes ma...

Kv2.1, the primary delayed rectifying potassium channel in neurons, is extensively regulated by phosphorylation. Previous reports have described Kv2.1 phosphorylation events affecting channel gating and the impact of this process on cellular excitability. Kv2.1, however, also provides the critical exit route for potassium ions during neuronal apoptosis via p38 MAPK-dependent membrane insertion,...

In this paper we design, characterize in closed-form, and evaluate a new index rule for Markovian time-varying channels, which gives rise to a simple opportunistic scheduling rule for flow-level scheduling in wireless downlink systems. For user channels we employ the Gilbert-Elliot model with a flow-level interpretation: the channel condition follows a general two-state Markov chain with distin...
