The Sandia-led Genomes to Life (GTL) project: “Carbon Sequestration in Synechococcus Sp.: From Molecular Machines to Hierarchical Modeling,” is focused on developing, prototyping, and applying new computational tools and methods to ellucidate the biochemical mechanisms of the carbon sequestration of Synechococcus Sp., an abundant marine cyanobacteria known to play an important role in the globa...

Test Effort Estimation is an important activity in software development because on the basis of effort cost and time required for testing can be calculated. Various models are available for estimating effort but to some extent all models result in erroneous effort estimation. So there is a need to optimize the effort estimated. Meta heuristic techniques can be used for this purpose, to optimize...

Using an Electric Differential (ED) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. Despite its reported successes and advantages, the ED has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. In this paper, an electric differenti...

In this paper, some definitions and traditional formulas for calculating the mobility of mechanisms are represented, e.g. Grubler formula, Somov - Malyshev formula, and Buchsbaum - Freudenstei. It is discussed that there are certain cases in which they are too ambiguous and incorrect to use. However, a matrix method is suggested based on the rank of the Jacobian of the mechanism and its applica...

Background: Septins are members of highly conserved polymerizing GTP binding proteins well described in the animal kingdom. 14 Septin proteins have been characterized in humans (SEPT1-SEPT14), some of which are tissue-specific. All of 14 genome-mapped human septins contain a highly conserved central GTP-binding domain which is very critical in GTPase signaling properties as well as oligomerizat...

+ IHP, Im Technologiepark 25, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany [email protected] Abstract: Mobile devices have limited resources in terms of computational power and energy. With the up-coming wireless Internet a lot of new applications that require security and privacy will be deployed. The exhaustive use of encryption mechanisms will drain down the battery within short time. In t...
