Tol2 is a transposable element of the terminal-inverted-repeat class, residing in the genome of the medaka fish Oryzias latipes. The genus Oryzias contains more than 10 species for which phylogenetic relationships have previously been estimated. To infer the history of Tol2 in this genus we performed genomic Southern blots and PCR analyses of 10 of the species. It was revealed that Tol2 occurs ...

In this paper 3-D models of combined fixture elements are designed, classified by their functions, and saved in computer as supporting elements library, jointing elements library, basic elements library, localization elements library, clamping elements library, and adjusting elements library etc. Then automatic assembly of 3-D combined checking fixture for auto-body part is presented based on m...

We study monodromies of plane curve singularities and pseudo-periodic homeomorphisms oriented surfaces with boundary using tête-à-tête graphs twists. A twist is a generalisation the classical Dehn twist. introduce class mixed twists, prove that twists contain irreducible singularities. In sequel paper, fourth author B. Sigurdsson have extended this to reducible case.

Whether we are philosophers or are members of the general public, during the course of our daily activities we sub-divide our phenomenological world and form categorial accounts of these experiences. The development of categorial ontologies, or sub-divisions of the most basic levels of our existence, has long been used to enable a clearer understanding of a specific domain of interest. Similarl...

In this paper we first show that many braid groups of low genus surfaces have their centers as direct factors. We then give a description of centralizers and normalizers of prime order elements in pure mapping class groups of surfaces with spherical quotients using automorphism groups of fundamental groups of the quotient surfaces. As an application, we use these to show that the p-primary part...

This paper presents a fast context-based adaptive variable-length decoding (CAVLD) method of H.264/AVC with a very long instruction word-based bitstream processing unit (BsPU) designed for entropy decoding of multiple video formats. A new table mapping algorithm for the coeff_token, level, and run_before syntax elements of the quantized transform coefficients is proposed, and many branch operat...
