We study the thermal and mechanical behaviors of DNA denaturation in the frame of the mesoscopic Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model with the inclusion of solvent interaction. By analyzing the melting transition of a homogeneous A-T sequence, we are able to set suitable values of the parameters of the model and study the formation and stability of bubbles in the system. Then, we focus on the case of t...

let $l$ be a completely regular frame and $mathcal{r}l$ be the ringof continuous real-valued functions on $l$. we study the frame$mathfrak{o}(min(mathcal{r}l))$ of minimal prime ideals of$mathcal{r}l$ in relation to $beta l$. for $iinbeta l$, denoteby $textit{textbf{o}}^i$ the ideal${alphainmathcal{r}lmidcozalphain i}$ of $mathcal{r}l$. weshow that sending $i$ to the set of minimal prime ideals...

To understand the seismic damage characteristics of bottom frame-wall buildings and to study their seismic performance, the seismic damage outcomes of  bottom frame-wall structures in Du jiang weir by the Wen chuan earthquake on May 12,2008, China were field observed and studied. The assesment of the seismic damage to the bottom frame-wall masonry in Du jiang weir urban showed that the damage t...

OBJECTIVE The natural distribution and predictive accuracy of Bishop scores was evaluated to predict cesarean delivery (CD) in nulliparas between 37 and 42 weeks gestation. STUDY DESIGN Subjects underwent serial digital cervical examinations. The Bishop score was evaluated as a binary and continuous factor to predict CD at each gestational week beginning at 37 weeks. Bishop scores were catego...
