Direct Chromatin PCR (DC-PCR): Hypotonic Conditions Allow Differentiation of Chromatin States during Thermal Cycling

Current methods to study chromatin configuration are not well suited for high throughput drug screening since they require large cell numbers and multiple experimental steps that include centrifugation for isolation of nuclei or DNA. Here we show that site specific chromatin analysis can be achieved in one step by simply performing direct chromatin PCR (DC-PCR) on cells. The basic underlying ob...

Requirements by Contracts allow Automated System Testing

Use-cases and scenarios have been identified as good inputs to generate test cases and oracles at requirement level. Yet to have an automated generation, information is missing from use cases and sequence diagrams, such as the exact inputs of the system, and the ordering constraints between the use case. The contribution of this paper is then twofold. First we propose a contract language for fu...

Do quantum dots allow one access to pseudogap Kondo physics?

For the last decade[1], tunable quantum dot systems have allowed the investigation of Kondo physics wherein the quenching of a single spin on an artificial atom affects the conductance. The pseudogap Kondo model (pKm) featuring a density of states ρ(ǫ) = C|ǫ| , introduced by Withoff and Fradkin[2] in 1990 was predicted to exhibit Kondo-like physics above a critical value of the Kondo coupling, ...

Web services to allow access for all in dotLRN

This paper describes a proposal for implementing the "Access for All" initiative by ISO in dotLRN being developed in the context ADAPTAPLAN project: ”Adaptation based on learning, modeling and planning for complex tasks oriented to the user”. As a result, dotLRN will be able to match access individual learner preferences and needs with the appropriate user interface tools and digital learning r...
