Translational coupling is the interdependence of translation efficiency of neighboring genes encoded within an operon. The degree of coupling may be quantified by measuring how the translation rate of a gene is modulated by the translation rate of its upstream gene. Translational coupling was observed in prokaryotic operons several decades ago, but the quantitative range of modulation translati...

Radio-frequency experimental measurements of magnetically coupled chains of L-C resonators supporting magneto-inductive (MI) waves are presented. MI waveguides are constructed using printed circuit board (PCB) inductors and external capacitors. Methods for increasing the nearest-neighbour coupling and reducing the non-nearest neighbour coupling using double-sided PCBs are demonstrated. Conditio...

Bromoenynamides represent precursors to a diversity of azacycles by a cascade sequence of carbopalladation followed by cross-coupling/electrocyclization, or reduction processes. Full details of our investigations into intramolecular ynamide carbopalladation are disclosed, which include the first examples of carbopalladation/cross-coupling reactions using potassium organotrifluoroborate salts; a...

There have beem many studies on the analysis and design of low-noise oscillators. Recently, much attention has been paid to the noise reduction technique using coupled oscillators. When oscillators are coupled, the coupling method is very important and affects various factors, for example, the level of noise. In this study, we analyze the phase noise of multiphase CMOS LC oscillators coupled by...

Raman excitation profiles are obtained and compared for carbon nanotube radial breathing mode (RBM) fundamental and overtone vibrations for 5 specific chiralities. Fitting of the Raman excitation data is performed using Raman transform theory. The Huang-Rhys factors obtained from the modeling are directly related to the magnitude of the RBM exciton-phonon coupling element, which is shown to be ...

A dynamic model for the transmission of a microring modulator based on changes in the refractive index, loss, or waveguide-ring coupling strength is derived to investigate the limitations to the intensity modulation bandwidth. Modulation bandwidths approaching the free spectral range frequency are possible if the waveguide-ring coupling strength is varied, rather than the refractive index or lo...

Object Oriented (OO) metrics play a key role in determining the efficiency of the code being developed under OO approaches. Cohesion and coupling are the widely used measures applied for the determination of important factors including reusability, maintainability and readability. There exists many Cohesion and Coupling based OO metrics making it difficult to choose the appropriate one. Moreove...
