Sm-Nd studies were carried out on Last Glacial and Holocene sediments from the Labrador Sea. Three grain-size fractions were analyzed for each sediment: the clay-size fraction (<2 μm), the fine cohesive silts (2-10 μm) and the coarse silts (10-63 μm). In most cases, Sm-Nd signatures are different from one grain-size to another. In addition, different Sm-Nd signatures are derived from the clay-s...

Cohesin is a multi-subunit protein complex essential for sister chromatid cohesion, gene expression and DNA damage repair. Although structurally well studied, the underlying determinant of cohesion establishment on chromosomal arms remains enigmatic. Here, we show two populations of functionally distinct cohesin on chromosomal arms using a combination of genomics and single-locus specific DNA-F...

In this paper, the bonding, relative stabilities and local ionic charges occurring in sodium chloride nanotubes are discussed. A new methodology is introduced which employs a linear relationship between nanotube cohesive energies determined via Density Functional Theory (DFT) and weighted-average Madelung Constants (MC(wa)). The slope of the linear plots reveals ionic charges and gives insights...

Robust and scalable techniques for mining patterns or subgraphs in protein protein interaction (PPI) networks can help identify functionally relevant and coherent subnetworks. Recently, researchers have focused on integrating genes attributes with the protein-protein interaction networks for mining connected subnetworks whose genes are similar in a subset of attributes. However, most of the pro...

a few of the presented soil behavior models are capable of predicting the triggering and post liquefaction and also shear band mechanism through the soil media. the assessment of earth-dam body behavior as a soil structure made of cohesive soil in core and non-cohesive soil as the core supports, including water interaction at upstream through earthquake upon a multi-line constitutive equations ...

A recently proposed computational scheme based on local increments has been applied to the calculation of correlation contributions to the cohesive energy of the CaO crystal. Using ab-initio quantum chemical methods for evaluating individual increments, we obtain ∼ 80% of the difference between the experimental and Hartree-Fock cohesive energies. Lattice constants corrected for correlation effe...

In this short note, we describe an approval-based committee selection rule that admits a polynomial-time algorithm and satisfies the Extended Justified Representation (EJR) axiom. This rule is based on approximately maximizing the PAV score, by means of local search. Our proof strategy is to show that this rule provides almost optimal average satisfaction to all cohesive groups of voters, and t...

Cohesive constraints allow the phrase-based decoder to employ arbitrary, non-syntactic phrases, and encourage it to translate those phrases in an order that respects the source dependency tree structure. We present extensions of the cohesive constraints, such as exhaustive interruption count and rich interruption check. We show that the cohesion-enhanced decoder significantly outperforms the st...

This paper describes a new method for computing lexical chains. These are sequences of semantically related words that reflect a text’s cohesive structure. In contrast to previous methods, we are able to select chains based on their cohesive strength. This is achieved by analyzing the connectivity in graphs representing the lexical chains. We show that the generated chains significantly improve...

Cohesive energies for twelve cubic III-V semiconductors with zincblende structure have been determined using an ab-initio scheme. Correlation contributions, in particular, have been evaluated using the coupled-cluster approach with single and double excitations (CCSD). This was done by means of increments obtained for localized bond orbitals and for pairs and triples of such bonds. Combining th...
