Total RNA levels in a cell are the consequence of two opposing mechanisms, namely RNA synthesis and RNA degradation. DTA allows monitoring these contributions in a non-perturbing manner. It is provided with a kinetic modeling approach capable of the precise determination of synthesisand decay rates, which is implemented in this package (see supplementary methods in [6]). DTA can be applied to r...

1 Integrated activity-based modeling (ABM) and dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) frameworks have 2 emerged as a promising tool to support transportation planning and operations, particularly in the context 3 of novel technologies and data sources. This research proposes an approach to characterize 4 implementations of integrated ABM-DTA models, seeking to facilitate the interpretation and compar...

Diatrizoic acid (DTA), a clinically used X-ray contrast agent, crystallises in two hydrated, three anhydrous and nine solvated solid forms, all of which have been characterised by X-ray crystallography. Single-crystal neutron structures of DTA dihydrate and monosodium DTA tetrahydrate have been determined. All of the solid-state structures have been analysed using partial atomic charges and har...

We have developed an ultrasonic technique for determining the dynamic Young's modulus of elasticity (E) of the canine aorta in vivo. Young's modulus was measured in the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) and the abdominal aorta (AA) of 12 dogs over a range of mean blood pressures from 40-200 mmHg. The vessels were excised and dynamic moduli were determined in vitro postmortem from pressure-volume ...

BACKGROUND There currently is a need for cost-effective, quantitative techniques to evaluate the gradual progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Measurement techniques based on diffuse optical spectroscopy can detect blood perfusion and brain cellular composition changes, through measuring the absorption (µa ) and reduced scattering (µs ') coefficients, respectively, using non-ionizing near-in...

This paper proposes a stochastic quasi-gradient (SQG) based algorithm to solve the off-line stochastic dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) problem that explicitly incorporates randomness in O–D demand, as part of a hybrid DTA deployment framework for real-time operations. The problem is formulated as a stochastic programming DTA model with multiple user classes. Due to the complexities introduced ...

There is great interest in developing pricing models for congestion relief. However, most of the work in the literature uses static transportation models for analysis. The benefits of accounting for traffic dynamics under congestion pricing are unclear. This research performs a systematic comparison of static traffic assignment with the VISTA model, a simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment...

The modularity of the Discrete-Time Analysis (DTA) technique calls for a toolkit consisting of all the operators involved in order to easily implement the algorithms on a computer using object-oriented language. This paper presents a toolkit of DTA operators written in the Octave language. The use of the toolkit is demonstrated by the numerical analysis of the discrete-time GI=GI=1 queuing syst...

A data tree is an unranked ordered tree where each node carries a label from a finite alphabet and a datum from some infinite domain. We consider the two variable first order logic FO(<,+1,∼) over data trees. Here +1 refers to the child and the next sibling relations while < refers to the descendant and following sibling relations. Moreover, ∼ is a binary predicate testing data equality. We exh...
