Surface chemistry involved in the epitaxy of graphene by sublimating Si atoms from the surface of epitaxial 3C-SiC(111) thin films on Si(111) has been studied. The change in the surface composition during graphene epitaxy is monitored by in situ temperature-programmed desorption spectroscopy using deuterium as a probe (D(2)-TPD) and complementarily by ex situ Raman and C1s core-level spectrosco...

The majority of innovation research seeks to establish frameworks regarding the definition and identification of innovation; complementarily, there exists a dearth of research attempting to provide frameworks for evaluating the effectiveness of innovation within a firm. Adapting an existing “web” framework, we created the redesigned innovation “web” with redefined dimensions of innovation and a...

Little is known about the constraints that neuromodulation places upon neural coding. We investigated the relationship between cholinergic modulation of spike timing and rate in a compartment model of a neocortical neuron. Our results suggest that cholinergic modulation of spike timing is directly related to the modulation of spike rate via the insertion of new spikes, and that spike timing is ...

Ordinary differential equation models have become a standard tool for the mechanistic description of biochemical processes. If parameters are inferred from experimental data, such mechanistic models can provide accurate predictions about the behavior of latent variables or the process under new experimental conditions. Complementarily, inference of model structure can be used to identify the mo...

In this paper, we discuss a framework for weighted combination of classifiers for word sense disambiguation (WSD). This framework is essentially based on DempsterShafer theory of evidence (Dempster, 1967; Shafer, 1976) and ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators (Yager, 1988). We first determine various kinds of features which could provide complementarily linguistic information for the cont...

We have identified human ArhGAP9 as a novel MAP kinase docking protein that interacts with Erk2 and p38alpha through complementarily charged residues in the WW domain of ArhGAP9 and the CD domains of Erk2 and p38alpha. This interaction sequesters the MAP kinases in their inactive states through displacement of MAP kinase kinases targeting the same sites. While over-expression of wild type ArhGA...

As a hallmark of pure quantum effect, entanglement has provided unconventional routes to condensed matter systems. Here, from the perspective entanglement, we disclose exotic physics in non-Hermitian quasicrystals. We present class experimentally realizable models for quasicrystal chains, which asymmetric hopping and complex potential coexist. diagnose global phase diagram by means both real-sp...

The paper has two complementary objectives. First, it sustains an analysis of the concept ‘coloniality’ that accounts for epistemic imbalance in modern world, demonstrating precisely how Africa is adversely affected, having been caught up throes coloniality and its implications. Second – complementarily attempts to bring this very into discourse on Africa’s emigration crisis, arguing crisis tra...

It is particularly challenging for evolutionary algorithms to quickly converge the Pareto front in large-scale multiobjective optimization. To tackle this problem, article proposes a algorithm assisted by some selected individuals generated directed sampling (DS). At each generation, set of closer ideal point chosen performing DS decision space, and those nondominated ones sampled solutions are...
