The chiral specificity of the interactions of peptides that induce the formation of cholesterol-rich domains has not been extensively investigated. Both the peptide and most lipids are chiral, so there is a possibility that interactions between peptide and lipid could require chiral recognition. On the other hand, in our models with small peptides, the extent of folding of the peptide to form a...

Numerous methods have been developed for measuring mechanical properties of bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) such as the Young’s modulus, strength, bending modulus, and others. This paper introduces a new method for measuring the maximum pressure that can be withstood by BLMs formed over a porous substrate. This quantity, referred to as the failure pressure, has not been reported in the literatur...

The primary advantage of the H.264 video compression technique is the ability to provide good video quality at substantially lower bit rates compared with other video compression methods. This is due to the use of variable block sizes, multiple reference frames, and the consideration of Rate-Distortion Optimization (RDO). However, these features come with the price of added complexity due to th...

In this paper, the studies of finding the failure location on a sample cable by using the multiple pulse reflection method and the fault on the results of the measurement have been examined. A pulse generator with amplitude of 12 V and pulse width from 20 ns to 2 us has been designed as a multiple pulse reflection meter. The velocity of reflection pulse is calibrated in embedded system. The SOP...

F plasmid is partitioned with fidelity to daughter cells during cell division cycle owing to two trans-acting genes, sopA and sopB, and a cis-acting site, sopC. We visualized the subcellular distribution of mini-F-plasmid molecules by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Mini-F-plasmid molecules having the sopABC segment were localized at midcell in newborn cells. Replicated plasmid molecules mi...

The most essential part of almost all video coding standards such as H.262/MPEG-2, H.264/MPEG-4 and newly emerged High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265/HEVC) is Motion Estimation. HEVC provides better performance in compression and efficiency in coding for Beyond HD and UHD videos. The main drawback is its computationcomplexity. The complexity is mainly due to Motion Estimation (ME), as it consum...
