Transcriptional control: The benefits of selective insulation
نویسنده
چکیده
In eukaryotes, cis-regulatory sequences are often a long way away from the transcription start site, and interactions between regulatory elements can be blocked by 'insulator' sequences. A novel type of cis-regulatory element has now been found that selectively permits some interactions across insulators.

Heat Transfer, Environmental Benefits, and Social Cost Analysis of Different Insulation Methods by Considering Insulation Disadvantages
In this paper, the thermal performance of four common insulators in two internal and external insulation systems is investigated for the ASHRAE setpoint range by applying detailed numerical simulation and Anti-Insulation phenomenon. Anti-Insulation phenomenon and consequent extra load on the HVAC system can occur following the thermal insulation of a building if proper temperature setpoint is n...
متن کاملTranscriptional control: Imprinting insulation
Recent studies on the transcriptional regulation of two linked, imprinted genes, Igf2 and H19, have provided evidence for a novel mechanism of epigenetic control. DNA methylation controls the activity of an insulator element located between the two linked genes by regulating the binding of the zinc-finger protein CTCF.
متن کاملSelecting Road-Noise Abatement Measures: Economic Analysis of Different Policy Objectives
To satisfy new legislation, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration implemented a national façade insulation program encompassing 2,500 dwellings exposed to high levels of road traffic noise. Thereby, the road owner brought the equivalent noise levels from road traffic in compliance with a new indoor limit of 42dB. Cost-effectiveness analyses show that façade insulation was the least expensiv...
متن کاملActive Structural Acoustic Control of Machine Enclosures
Vibrating machinery such as pumps, generators and compressors normally use passive insulation materials to reduce sound radiation. This paper provides a practical examination of possible solutions to active control of machine enclosures that reduces the radiated sound intensity from the enclosure to the environment. The results show that a combination of simple sky-hook type feedback controller...
متن کاملFuzzy Logic Based Life Estimation of PWM Driven Induction Motors
Pulse-width modulated (PWM) adjustable frequency drives (AFDs) are extensively used in industries for control of induction motors. It has led to significant advantages in terms of the performance, size, and efficiency but the output voltage waveform no longer remains sinusoidal. Hence, overshoots, high rate of rise, harmonics and transients are observed in the voltage wave. They increase voltag...
