The present study aimed to design, synthesize and screen specifically targeted antimicrobial peptides (STAMPs) that can selectively kill Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) in the biofilm, and to detect protein metabolism, in order to investigate the mechanism of the antibacterial functions of STAMPs against S. mutans. A series of STAMPs were synthesized, and their effects on the selective antibac...

Detecting documents with a certain stamp instance is an effective and reliable way to retrieve documents associated with a specific source. However, this unique problem has essentially remained unaddressed. In this paper, we present a novel stamp detection framework based on parameter estimation of connected edge features. Using robust basic-shape detectors, the approach is effective for stamps...

In this paper we propose a logic-based, framework inspired by artificial intelligence, but scaled down for practical database and programming applications. Computation in the framework is viewed as the task of generating a sequence of state transitions, with the purpose of making an agent’s goals all true. States are represented by sets of atomic sentences (or facts), representing the values of...

In nanoimprint lithography (NIL), it is essential to provide stamps with good anti-sticking surface properties. A low surface energy release layer on the stamps helps to improve the imprint quality, and it also increases the stamp lifetime significantly by preventing surface contamination. Low adhesion and friction at structure sidewalls can only be assured if the stamp is fully covered with a ...

Terracotta tiles are a characteristic objects of Russian culture in the 17th century. These terracotta intended for facing stoves. The article deals with and stamps making found during archaeological study historical part Tsaryovokokshaysk. A stove faced was luxury item upper strata population. That is why findings more interesting territory small town, where wealthy people made up percentage t...
