Super- and sub-critical water treatments have been of interest as novel methods for protein hydrolysis. In the present study, we studied the effect of sub-critical water (Sub-H2O, 300℃, 80 bar) treatment as well as super-critical water (Super-H2O, 400℃, 280 bar) treatment on the physicochemical properties of porcine skin (PS), which has abundant collagen. Porcine skin was subjected to pre-therm...

We introduce the concept of regular super-functions at a fixed point. It is derived from the concept of regular iteration. A super-function F of h is a solution of F(z+1)=h(F(z)). We provide a condition for F being entire, we also give two uniqueness criteria for regular super-functions. In the particular case h(x)=bˆx we call F super-exponential. h has two real fixed points for b between 1 and...

Super-enhancers are an emerging subclass of regulatory regions controlling cell identity and disease genes. However, their biological function and impact on miRNA networks are unclear. Here, we report that super-enhancers drive the biogenesis of master miRNAs crucial for cell identity by enhancing both transcription and Drosha/DGCR8-mediated primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) processing. Super-enhancers...

We present a new technology for super-resolution fluorescence imaging, based on conical diffraction. Conical diffraction is a linear, singular phenomenon, taking place when a laser beam is diffracted through a biaxial crystal. We use conical diffraction in a thin biaxial crystal to generate illumination patterns that are more compact than the classical Gaussian beam, and use them to generate a ...

Super-collimation is the propagation of a light beam without spreading that occurs when the light beam is guided by the dispersion properties of a photonic crystal, rather than by defects in the photonic crystal. Super-collimation has many potential applications, the most straight-forward of which is in the area of integrated optical circuits, where super-collimation can be utilized for optical...

We study the superconformally covariant pseudodifferential symbols defined on N = 2 super Riemann surfaces. This allows us to construct a primary basis for N = 2 super W (n) KP -algebras and, by reduction, for N = 2 super Wn-algebras.

A study of Hamiltonian structures associated with supersymmetric Lax operators is presented. Following a constructive approach, the Hamiltonian structures of Inami-Kanno super KdV hierarchy and constrained modified super KP hierarchy are investigated from the reduced supersymmetric GelfandDickey brackets. By applying a gauge transformation on the Hamiltonian structures associated with these two...

Recently, unique areas of transcriptional regulation termed super-enhancers have been identified and implicated in human disease. Defined by their magnitude of size, transcription factor density, and binding of transcriptional machinery, super-enhancers have been associated with genes driving cell differentiation. While their functions are not completely understood, it is clear that these regio...

With the popularity of BitTorrent-like P2P applications, improving its performance has been an active research area. Super-seeding, a special upload policy for the initial seeder, improves the efficiency in producing multiple seeds and reduces the uploading bytes of content initiators, thus being highly expected as a promising solution for improving downloading performance while decreasing uplo...
