MOD3D, a rapid and accurate radiative transport algorithm, is being developed for application to 3D simulations. MOD3D couples to optical property databases generated by the MODTRAN4 Correlated-k (CK) band model algorithm. The Beer's Law dependence of the CK algorithm provides for proper coupling of illumination and line-of-sight paths. Full 3D spatial effects are modeled by scaling and interpo...

Abstract On the morning of 6 May 2021, military police invaded favela Jacarezinho, one Rio de Janeiro's slums, and killed 28 people during a operation tellingly named Operation Exceptis. Photos dead bodies in alleys denouncements extrajudicial executions individuals who had already surrendered circulated widely on internet. Jacarezinho adds to troubling record killings that includes goes far be...

The generic matrix-matrix multiplication (GEMM) is arguably the most popular computational kernel of the 20th century. Yet, surprisingly, no common methodology for evaluating GEMM performance has been established over the many decades of using GEMM for comparing architectures, compilers and ninja-class programmers. We introduce GEMMbench, a framework and methodology for evaluating performance o...

The lamellipodium is an important structure for cell migration containing branched actin nucleated via the Arp2/3 complex. The formation of branched actin is relatively well studied, but less is known about its disassembly and how this influences migration. GMF is implicated in both Arp2/3 debranching and inhibition of Arp2/3 activation. Modulation of GMFβ, a ubiquitous GMF isoform, by depletio...

In neonates, acute perinatal asphyxia may lead to ischemic myocardial damage [1]. In some cases, subendocardial infarction has been documented [2]. Generally, diagnosis of the myocardial injury (MI) is based on clinical findings, suggestive electrocardiographic and echocardiographic patterns [3], decrease in myocardial uptake of thallium [4], and classical creatine kinase (CK)-MB isoenzyme meas...

MOTIVATION Finding functionally analogous enzymes based on the local structures of active sites is an important problem. Conventional methods use templates of local structures to search for analogous sites, but their performance depends on the selection of atoms for inclusion in the templates. RESULTS The automatic selection of atoms so that site matches can be discriminated from mismatches. ...

In the recent study of correlation functions for the infinite XXZ spin chain, a new pair of anti-commuting operators b(ζ), c(ζ) was introduced. They act on the space of quasi-local operators, which are local operators multiplied by the disorder operator q where S(0) = 1 2 ∑0 j=−∞ σ 3 j . For the inhomogeneous chain with the spectral parameters ξk, these operators have simple poles at ζ 2 = ξ k....
