Direct and indirect oxidation of guanine in DNA produces guanidinohydantoin (Gh), which is capable of inhibiting replication and inducing mutations during cellular activities. Although some biochemical studies have proposed that Gh may induce exclusively G to C mutations in DNA, other studies have predicted the occurrence of both G to C and G to T mutations. However, the exact reasons for these...

The paper presents selected issues on benchmarking the Quality of Experience (QoE) for video streaming and multimedia P2P search services being investigated in the VIFP NoE CONTENT Content Networks and Services for Home Users under participation the Department of Telecommunications (AGH University of Science and Technology Krakow). The first section of the paper presents the general approach us...

Abstract Background Converting electronic health record (EHR) entries to useful clinical inferences requires one address the poor scalability of existing implementations Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) for repeated measures. The major computational bottleneck concerns numerical evaluation multivariable integrals, which even simplest EHR analyses may involve millions dimensions (one each ...

Herein, the electrical and structural properties of Ag‐ AgH‐related defects in n‐ p‐type Si are reinvestigated using conventional deep‐level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) high‐resolution Laplace DLTS. It is evidenced that a peak corresponding to substitutional Ag does not always appear as‐grown additional heat treatments necessary observe this defect. Several peaks, which were previously report...

This paper presents an overview of research performed at the AGH University of Science and Technology in the field of the electromechanical impedance method for damage detection in mechanical structures. A theoretical background on the described method is made in the first part of the paper. Next, results of numerical analyses of the electromechanical impedance for simple mechanical structures ...
