BACKGROUND In nanoscale layered S/F1/N/F2/AF heterostructures, the generation of a long-range, odd-in-frequency spin-projection one triplet component of superconductivity, arising at non-collinear alignment of the magnetizations of F1 and F2, exhausts the singlet state. This yields the possibility of a global minimum of the superconducting transition temperature T c, i.e., a superconducting tri...

Objective(s): Fabricating a biomimetic scaffold platform combined with controlled release of bioactive agents is a practical approach for bone tissue engineering. Controlled delivery of peptides and growth factors which play a significant role in osteogenesis is an important issue reducing the associated adverse effects and leading to cost-effectiveness. Materials and Methods: We develope...

The evaluation procedure of a new laser-cooled caesium fountain primary frequency standard developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is described. The new standard, NIST-F1, is described in some detail and typical operational parameters are discussed. Systematic frequency biases for which corrections are made – second-order Zeeman shift, black-body radiation shift, ...

Mallada basalis (Walker) has the potential to be a valuable biological control agent because of its predatory abilities, strong reproductive capacity, and broad prey range. This study aimed to improve on a previously used artificial diet for M. basalis, to achieve a longer oviposition period and greater survival rate and fecundity. We analyzed the development, survival, longevity, and reproduct...

Using a rectification model and an experimentally measured distribution of the extracellular modulation ratio (F1/F0), we investigate the consistency between extracellular and intracellular modulation metrics for classifying cells in primary visual cortex (V1). We first demonstrate that the shape of the distribution of the intracellular metric χ is sensitive to the specific form of the bimodali...

1. The capacity of the histone-DNA complex to act as a template for RNA synthesis is increased by phosphorylation of histone F1. 2. In regenerating liver, DNA synthesis is preceded by phosphorylation of histone F1. 3. Exposure to ionizing radiation in vivo decreases and delays the phosphorylation of histone F1 in regenerating liver, and decreases it in the hyperplastic kidney. 4. Histone F1 is ...

We propose a solution to the challenge of the CoNLL 2008 shared task that uses a generative history-based latent variable model to predict the most likely derivation of a synchronous dependency parser for both syntactic and semantic dependencies. The submitted model yields 79.1% macroaverage F1 performance, for the joint task, 86.9% syntactic dependencies LAS and 71.0% semantic dependencies F1....

In classical fixed point and coincidence theory the notion of Nielsen numbers has proved to be extremely fruitful. We extend it to pairs (f1, f2) of maps between manifolds of arbitrary dimensions, using nonstabilized normal bordism theory as our main tool. This leads to estimates of the minimum numbers MCC(f1, f2) (and MC(f1, f2), resp.) of pathcomponents (and of points, resp.) in the coinciden...

Well-defined tissue tropism makes Autonomous Parvoviruses a valuable model for studies of virus-cell interactions and gene therapy research. We developed a new Minute Virus of Mice variant, different from the known prototype (MVMp) and immunosuppressive (MVMi) strains. The new virus variant, designated F1, was isolated from the culture of semi-permissive Fisher Rat Fibroblasts, F111, infected w...
