This document summarises the capabilities of the XY-pic package for typesetting graphs and diagrams in TEX. For a general introduction as well as availability information and conditions refer to the User’s Guide [14]. A characteristic of XY-pic is that it is built around a kernel drawing language which is a concise notation for general graphics, e.g., A B (/).*-+, j j j j j j j j j G ' 55 was d...

This paper introduces a novel code-based iterative parallel interference cancellation technique (Code-PIC) for the multirate carrier interferometry/multicarrier code division multiple-access (CI/MC-CDMA) system, which supports simultaneous transmission of high and low data rate users. In Code-PIC scheme, multiple-access interference (MAI) for the desired user is estimated based on the projectio...

Genome-wide binding preferences of the key components of eukaryotic preinitiation complex (PIC) have been recently measured at high resolution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Rhee and Pugh. However, the rules determining the PIC binding specificity remain poorly understood. In this study, we show that nonconsensus protein-DNA binding significantly influences PIC binding preferences. We estimate ...

The adherence of leukocytes on the endothelium is mediated in part by the transient expression of the E-selectin adhesion molecule. Because we have previously shown that the dsRNA-activated kinase PKR mediates dsRNA induction of NF-kappaB, we used murine aortic endothelial (MuAE) cells isolated from wild-type and PKR-null mice to investigate the role of PKR in the induction of E-selectin expres...

The ubiquity of portable mobile devices equipped with built-in cameras have led to a transformation in how and when digital images are captured, shared, and archived. Photographs and videos from social gatherings, public events, and even crime scenes are commonplace online. While the spontaneity afforded by these devices have led to new personal and creative outlets, privacy concerns of bystand...

Abstract We present a comprehensive orbital analysis to the exoplanets β Pictoris b and c that resolves previously reported tensions between dynamical evolutionary mass constraints on Pic b. use Markov Chain Monte Carlo orbit code orvara fit 15 years of radial velocities relative astrometry (including recent GRAVITY measurements), absolute from Hipparcos Gaia, single velocity measurement A meas...

Months after sacral spinal transection in rats (chronic spinal rats), motoneurons below the injury exhibit large, low-threshold persistent inward currents (PICs), composed of persistent sodium currents (Na PICs) and persistent calcium currents (Ca PICs). Here, we studied whether motoneurons of normal adult rats also exhibited Na and Ca PICs when the spinal cord was acutely transected at the sac...

Assembly and activity of yeast RNA polymerase II (Pol II) preinitiation complexes (PIC) was investigated with an immobilized promoter assay and extracts made from wild-type cells and from cells containing conditional mutations in components of the Pol II machinery. We describe the following findings: (1) In one step, TFIID and TFIIA assemble at the promoter independently of holoenzyme. In anoth...

In this study, novel multifunctional ternary complexes of biotinylated transferrin-avidin-biotin-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-glutamate acid)/poly(2-(2-aminoethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)/doxorubicin-poly(L-aspartic acid)/pDNA (TAB/PIC-D/pDNA complexes) were prepared based on polyion complex micelles (PIC) and the avidin-biotin system, which aimed to target co-delivery of anti-cancer doxorubic...
