We report the spontaneous generation of a cell-like morphology in an environment crowded with the polymers dextran and polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the presence of DNA. DNA molecules were selectively located in the interior of dextran-rich micro-droplets, when the composition of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was near the critical condition of phase-segregation. The resulting micro-droplets...

In this paper, we present a novel protocol, called Distributed Signcryption with Verifiable Partial Signature (DiSigncryption) protocol, to allow an agent owner to securely distribute his signing capability among a set of trusted third party hosts (TTPhosts) via a mobile agent. The protocol incorporates three schemes: a novel Distributed Reputation Management scheme, a modified version of the D...

We present the light scattering properties of individual human red blood cells (RBCs). We show that both the RBC static and dynamic scattering signals are altered by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-driven membrane metabolic remodeling. To measure the light scattering signal from individual RBCs, we use diffraction phase microscopy together with a Fourier transform light scattering technique. RB...

Sledgehammer is a powerful interface from Isabelle to automated provers, to discharge subgoals that appear during the interactive proofs. It chooses facts related to this goal and asks some automatic provers to find a proof. The proof can be either reconstructed or just used to extract the relevant lemmas: in both cases the proof is not trusted. We extend the support by adding one first-order p...

PRocH is a proof reconstruction tool that imports in HOL Light proofs produced by ATPs on the recently developed translation of HOL Light and Flyspeck problems to ATP formats. PRocH combines several reconstruction methods in parallel, but the core improvement over previous methods is obtained by re-playing in the HOL logic the detailed inference steps recorded in the ATP (TPTP) proofs, using se...

Results: The participants reported an average retention rate of 81.0% 6 17.9%. We found a significant prediction equation (F4,1671⁄4 16.39, R21⁄4 0.282, P , .001), using the perceptions of student success factor (P , .001, R21⁄4 0.162), the timing of formal admission (P , .001, R 1⁄4 0.124), the number of years the ATPs had been accredited (P 1⁄4 .001, R 1⁄4 0.039), the number of students admit...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Despite advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy of many cancers, glioblastoma outcome is still suboptimal part due to heterogeneity tumor. Standard surgical approach for remove the enhancing tumor adjuvant treatment used treat residual infiltrative non-enhancing wall. We evaluated samples from both areas using advanced techniques intraoperative resecting, collecting...
