This paper presents a detailed numerical study on the performance of the standard phasing algorithms with random phase illumination (RPI). Phasing with high resolution RPI and the oversampling ratio σ=4 determines a unique phasing solution up to a global phase factor. Under this condition, the standard phasing algorithms converge rapidly to the true solution without stagnation. Excellent approx...

Traditional models for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase I include a stepwise assembly of basic transcription factors/regulatory proteins on the core promoter to form a preinitiation complex. In contrast, we have identified a preassembled RNA polymerase I (RPI) complex that contains all the factors necessary and sufficient to initiate transcription from the rDNA promoter in vitro. The ...

Reference point indentation (RPI) was developed as a novel method to assess mechanical properties of bone in vivo, yet it remains unclear what aspects of bone dictate changes/differences in RPI-based parameters. The main RPI parameter, indentation distance increase (IDI), has been proposed to be inversely related to the ability of bone to form/tolerate damage. The goal of this work was to explo...

University graduates in the UK are more concentrated in regions where the cost of housing is higher than other groups. This implies that many graduates face a higher cost-of-living that could possibly reduce the graduate real wage relative to other groups and carry implications for measures of wage dispersion. This paper aims to reassess how estimates of wage inequality from 1997 to 2008 vary w...

The received power imbalance (RPI) effect exists in multiple antennas wireless communications system due to design flaw, operator’s negligence etc. The range of RPI can be from −10 dB to 0 dB and if the RPI information is not available at the receiver terminal, it can implement turbo iterative receiver by concatenating multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexi...

In contrast to traditional approaches to fracture risk assessment using clinical risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD), a new technique, reference point microindentation (RPI), permits direct assessment of bone quality; in vivo tibial RPI measurements appear to discriminate patients with a fragility fracture from controls. However, it is unclear how this relates to the site of the most cl...

This study examines how loyalty influences the relationship between customer satisfaction (CS) and repurchase intention (RPI). Considering the effect of time, the study introduces adjusted expectations, which are expectations updated after consumption experience. The present study investigates the role of adjusted expectations in the CS–RPI link. With structural-equation analysis, the proposed ...

SUMMARY We applied regional perfusion imaging (RPI), a new arterial spin-labeling MR imaging method that selectively studies regions of the brain perfused by individual carotid and basilar arteries. In a patient with cerebrovascular disease, RPI showed cerebral tissue perfused by pial collateral vessels, thereby demonstrating the relationship between anatomic and functional information, which w...

BACKGROUND Cardiac dysfunction can modify renal perfusion, which is crucial to maintain sufficient kidney tissue oxygenation. Renal cortex perfusion assessed by dynamic ultrasound method is related both to renal function and cardiac hemodynamics. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that Renal Perfusion Index (RPI) can more closely reflect cardiac hemodynamics and differentiate etiol...

RNA-protein complexes are essential in mediating important fundamental cellular processes, such as transport and localization. In particular, ncRNA-protein interactions play an important role in post-transcriptional gene regulation like mRNA localization, mRNA stabilization, poly-adenylation, splicing and translation. The experimental methods to solve RNA-protein interaction prediction problem ...
