In recent years, a large amount of industrial oil and gas resources have been discovered in the Paleogene Wenchang Formation (WC) southern Lufeng sag, confirming that WC are promising prospects for petroleum exploration. However, because complex lithology, multiple sources crude multi-period charging characteristics WC, accumulation process model not clearly understood. Therefore, this study, m...

In the frq-wc-based circadian feedback loops of Neurospora, two PAS domain-containing transcription factors, WHITE COLLAR-1 (WC-1) and WC-2, form heterodimeric complexes that activate the transcription of frequency (frq). FRQ serves two roles in these feedback loops: repressing its own transcription by interacting with the WC complex and positively upregulating the levels of WC-1 and WC-2 prote...

The basic algorithm is derived from the weak-commitment algorithm (WC) of Yokoo [17], which has been shown to outperform breakout and min-conflict backtracking on certain classes of problems. Weakcommitment search is that part of WC which results from removing the learning mechanism; this will be called WC-NL. WC-NL is coupled with learning-by-merging to form the new algorithm WC-NG. Experiment...

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a diagnostic and prognostic tool in heart failure and also in Chagas disease, which is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and has cardiomyopathy as a main feature. BNP lipolytic actions and T. cruzi infection in the adipose tissue have been recently described. We aim to investigate the relationship between BNP and anthropometric measures and whether it...

Interlocked feedback loops may represent a common feature among the regulatory systems controlling circadian rhythms. The Neurospora circadian feedback loops involve white collar-1 (wc-1), wc-2, and frequency (frq) genes. We show that WC-1 and WC-2 proteins activate the transcription of frq gene, whereas FRQ protein plays dual roles: repressing its own transcription, probably by interacting wit...

Elastic field coupling to solute concentration is known to produce dislocationdriven impurity segregation. Recent reports detailing the distribution of boron around edge dislocations in B2-ordered FeAl indicate that nonlinear coupling of species concentration and elastic strain to the chemical potential must be considered to assess the magnitude of boron segregation around edge dislocations. On...
