Data clustering helps one discern the structure of and simplify the complexity of massive quantities of data. It is a common technique for statistical data analysis and is used in many fields, including machine learning, data mining, pattern recognition, image analysis, and bioinformatics, in which the distribution of information can be of any size and shape. The well-known K-means algorithm, w...

We experimentally demonstrate that hybridized nanocavities in optically thick metal films radiate in coherence, and act as an efficient single-polarized plasmonic nano-antenna array. We employ propagating and localized plasmons to enhance polarization control along one axis, with total suppression of the perpendicular polarization component. The relationship between the near-field and far-field...

We present a simple game which mimics the complex dynamics found in many natural and social systems. Players modify their strategies periodically, depending on their performances. We propose that the agents use hybridized one-point genetic crossover mechanism, inspired by genetic evolution in biology, to modify the strategies and replace the bad strategies. We study the performances of the agen...

Small RNA molecules have an important role in gene regulation and RNA silencing therapy, but it is challenging to detect these molecules without the use of time-consuming radioactive labelling assays or error-prone amplification methods. Here, we present a platform for the rapid electronic detection of probe-hybridized microRNAs from cellular RNA. In this platform, a target microRNA is first hy...

The potential of the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method has been recognized for the computation of stationary flows. Extending the method to instationary problems can, e.g., be done by backward difference formulae (BDF) or diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (DIRK) methods. In this publication, we investigate the use of embedded DIRK methods in an HDG solver, including the use of adapti...

This paper compares the heuristic Global Search Techniques; Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, Simulated Annealing, Generalized Pattern Search, genetic algorithm hybridized with Nelder–Mead and Generalized pattern search technique for tuning of fuzzy PID controller for Puma 560. Since the actual control is in joint space ,inverse kinematics is used to generate various joint angles ...

To study the expression of the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) genome, intracellular virus-specific proteins and mRNAs were pulsed-labeled, extracted, and analyzed at 6-h intervals during the replicative cycle. Most RNAs were detected between 12 and 24 h postinfection (p.i.), but many continued to be synthesized until late in infection. Polyhedrin and p8 mRNAs were the...

We previously found that a minor fraction of single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) isolated from native nuclear DNA of normal chicken embryonic cells and cells of other species hybridized with bulk nuclear DNA or cellular RNA in great excess. At least one-third of ss-DNA belonging to the nonrepetitious part of the cell genome could be hybridized to homologous RNAs. In the present work, similar results w...
