Protein components of cell adhesion machinery show continuous renewal even in the static state of epithelial cells and participate in the formation and maintenance of normal epithelial architecture and tumor suppression. CADM1 is a tumor suppressor belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecule and forms a cell adhesion complex with an actin-binding protein, 4.1B, and a s...

The maximum entropy approach is used to solve the classical moment problem of stellar kinematics. If an extended set of moments is available, the current method provides a linear estimation algorithm, which is given by a Gramian system of equations, that leads to a fast and suitable estimation of the velocity distribution. In particular, it can be used as an alternative approach for modelling m...

Polarization-depolarization current (PDC) measurements are now being used as a diagnosis tool to predict the ageing condition of transformer oil-paper insulation. Unfortunately, it is somewhat difficult to obtain the ageing condition of transformer cellulose insulation using the PDC technique due to the variation in transformer insulation geometry. In this literature, to quantify the ageing con...

MOTIVATION A holy grail of biological research is a working model of the cell. Current modeling frameworks, especially in the protein-protein interaction domain, are mostly topological in nature, calling for stronger and more expressive network models. One promising alternative is logic-based or Boolean network modeling, which was successfully applied to model signaling regulatory circuits in h...

Reliability analysis for Gas turbine power plant over a period of 66-month was carried out. The most important failure modes units were identified and the descriptive statistics at failure and machine level were calculated. Several theoretical distributions were applied and best fit of failure data was identified. The reliability and hazard rate models of the failure data were determined to pro...

abstract to estimate spatial variability of soil hydraulic functions, scaling methods were developed and have been widely used. among these functions, physically based methods have been found more desirable because of possibility of estimating soil hydraulic functions from soil physical properties. in this paper, a new and physically based method has been described for scaling soil hydraulic co...

We report here the first evidence for stellar disk truncation at high redshift, based on surface photometry of a sample of 16 high redshift (0.6 < z < 1.0) disk galaxies from the GOODS HST/ACS data. The radial profiles are best fit by a double exponential profile. This result agrees with the profile of disks in local galaxies. The cosmological surface brightness dimming at this redshift range o...

Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are known with reasonable precision for a large number of galaxies with similar morphologies. The data implies that non-Keplerian fall–off is seen. This implies that (i) large amounts of dark matter must exist at galactic scales or (ii) that Newtonian gravity must somehow be corrected. We present a method for inverting the integral relation between an elementa...

To achieve river channel detection in SAR (synthetic aperture radar) images, we developed a level-set-based model (LSBM) guided by designed data-fitting energy which is called the SoDEF (sum of dual exponential functions)-fitting energy. Firstly, function computing sum functions to substitute for quadratic function, and used it construct Secondly, adaptive area-fitting centers (AFCs) were compu...
