Designing an Am-Be miniature neutron source

Background: Miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. The most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. In this research, we have surveyed and designed an Am-Be miniature neutron source fabrication. Materials and Methods: This investigation resulted in creation...

DEVELOPMENT OF MINIATURE MAGNETOMETERS Development of Miniature Magnetometers

ome of the highlights of the ongoing program within the Sensor Science Group of APL’s Milton S. Eisenhower Research and Technology Development Center to develop novel magnetometers are summarized. In particular, two approaches are described: a magnetostrictive device based on the deflection of a Terfenol-D coated single-crystal silicon cantilever and a Lorentz-force device based on a classical ...

iMITEdb: the genome-wide landscape of miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements in insects

Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) have attracted much attention due to their widespread occurrence and high copy numbers in eukaryotic genomes. However, the systematic knowledge about MITEs in insects and other animals is still lacking. In this study, we identified 6012 MITE families from 98 insect species genomes. Comparison of these MITEs with known MITEs in the NCBI non...

Within-Genome Evolution of REPINs: a New Family of Miniature Mobile DNA in Bacteria

Repetitive sequences are a conserved feature of many bacterial genomes. While first reported almost thirty years ago, and frequently exploited for genotyping purposes, little is known about their origin, maintenance, or processes affecting the dynamics of within-genome evolution. Here, beginning with analysis of the diversity and abundance of short oligonucleotide sequences in the genome of Pse...
