We have generated a monoclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide whose sequence was derived from the nucleotide sequence of a cDNA encoding alpha 1(XII) collagen. The antibody, 75d7, has been used to identify the alpha 1(XII) chain on immunoblots of SDS-PAGE tendon extracts as a 220-kD polypeptide, under reducing conditions. Amino-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of an immunopurified cy...

Machined workpieces must satisfy quality standards such as avoid the presence of burrs in edge finishing to reduce production costs and time. In this work we consider three types burr that are determined by distribution shape on a microscopic scale: knife-type (without imperfections), saw-type (presence small splinters could be accepted) burr-breakage (substantial deformation produces unusable ...

In this paper, a new five-parameter extended Burr XII model called modified Singh-Maddala (NMSM) is developed from cumulative hazard function of the log integrated beta (MLEIBH) model. The NMSM density left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical. Lambert W used to study descriptive measures based on quantile, moments, moments order statistics, incomplete inequality residual life function. Differe...

Differentiated osteoblasts are polarized in regions of bone deposition, demonstrate extensive cell interaction and communication, and are responsible for bone formation and quality. Type XII collagen is a fibril-associated collagen with interrupted triple helices and has been implicated in the osteoblast response to mechanical forces. Type XII collagen is expressed by osteoblasts and localizes ...

As cloud computing gains in popularity, understanding the patterns and structure of its loads is increasingly important in order to drive effective resource allocation, scheduling and pricing decisions. These efficiency increases are then associated with a reduction in the data center environmental footprint. Existing models have only treated a single resource type, such as CPU, or memory, at a...
