MOTIVATION The solvent accessibility of amino acid residues plays an important role in tertiary structure prediction, especially in the absence of significant sequence similarity of a query protein to those with known structures. The prediction of solvent accessibility is less accurate than secondary structure prediction in spite of improvements in recent researches. The k-nearest neighbor meth...

Abstract The conversion of soluble proteins into amyloid fibrils has importance in protein chemistry, biology, biotechnology and medicine. A novel lipase from Pseudomonas sp. was previously shown to have an extremely high aggregation propensity. It therefore herein studied elucidate the physicochemical structural determinants this extreme behaviour. Amyloid-like structures were found form sampl...

A buried injector is proposed as a source of electrons for substrate hot electron injection. To enhance the compatibility with VLSI processing, the buried injector is formed by the local overlap of the n-well and p-well of a retrograde twin-well CMOS process. The injector is activated by means of punchthrough. This mechanism allows the realization of a selective injector without increasing the ...

Inverted siphon is a kind of cross-channel building, in order to study the stress distribution law buried prestressed inverted structure. The force and deformation characteristics Xinanpu are analysed by finite element software. In establishment calculation model, arrangement reinforcement setting pier considered. A separate model used simulate effect applying initial strain, boundary condition...

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) catastrophe had considerable impact on the ∼ 50 km long sandy beach system located along the Alabama shoreline. We present a four-year dataset to characterize the temporal evolution of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their alkylated homologs trapped in the residual oil buried along the shoreline. Field samples analyzed include the first arriv...
