Tensile mechanical properties of three-dimensional type I collagen extracellular matrices with varied microstructure.
The importance and priority of specific micro-structural and mechanical design parameters must be established to effectively engineer scaffolds (biomaterials) that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment of cells and have clinical applications as tissue substitutes. In this study, three-dimensional (3-D) matrices were prepared from type I collagen, the predominant compositional and str...
متن کاملCharacterizing Phonetic Convergence with Speaker Recognition Techniques
Speakers are known to accommodate to each other’s behavior when interacting. Information circulates via multiple sensorymotor loops operating at various levels of the interaction and this closed-loop process induces modifications in all levels of representation from social and psychological evaluation to low-level gestural behaviors such as gaze, respiratory patterns, or speech. Various authors...
متن کاملCharacterizing Prolog Programming Techniques
A programming technique captures some common code pattern. Programming techniques have been applied in a wide range of programming contexts with some success. Here we discuss a language for describing techniques in a formal way. This allows a precise deenition of techniques and is a prerequisite for a consistent treatment across a programming environment.
متن کاملCharacterizing the Shine-Dalgarno Motif: Probability Matrices and Weight Matrices
Methods for identifying biologically significant k-mers by exhaustive evaluation (k ≤ 10) are applied to the pooled Upstream Regions (USR) of all 4289 E. coli ORFs. Instances of the ShineDalgarno (SD) site are readily identified using these methods. Using these motif instances as starting points, two motif representations and training methods, probability and weight matrices, are applied to cha...
متن کاملCharacterizing Matrices That Are Consistent with Given Solutions
For given vectors b ∈ C and y ∈ C we describe a unitary transformation approach to deriving the set F of all matrices F ∈ C such that y is an exact solution to the compatible system Fy = b. This is used for deriving minimal backward errors E and f such that (A+E)y = b+f when possibly noisy data A ∈ C and b ∈ C are given, and the aim is to decide if y is a satisfactory approximate solution to Ax...
