BACKGROUND The recovery of RNA from the upper epidermis by tape stripping yields variable RNA mass but has not been evaluated for its dependence on anatomical location. Gene expression at different body locations and the origin of RNA recovered by tape stripping have not been investigated. OBJECTIVES To characterize the recovery of RNA from different anatomical locations by tape stripping; to...

The dispersion equation for free electromagnetic waves guided by an anisotropically conducting open tape helix is derived from the exact solution of a homogenous boundary value problem for Maxwell’s equations without invoking any apriori assumption about the tape-current distribution. A numerical solution of the dispersion equation for a set of typical parameter values reveals that the tape-hel...

Research has shown that red tape negatively affects both innovation and collaboration. Yet studies on barriers to collaborative rarely consider tape. Through a systematic literature review, we examined 74 empirical linking They were analyzed taking into account the dimensions of discussed (budget, communication information, personnel, procurement tape) tape’s effects collaboration innovation. T...

The time it takes for the database administrator to conduct the database recovery process directly affects the company’s bottom line. Database downtime impact can be measured in millions of dollars resulting in lost opportunity and disgruntled customers. This paper describes virtual tape technology and advantages which can be realized by the database administrator when database recovery efficie...

This is a draft version of [J. Computer and System Sciences, 29 (1984) 303 311]. A Turing machine with two storage tapes can not simulate a queue in both real-time and with at least one storage tape head always within o (n) squares from the start square. This fact may be useful for showing that a two-head tape unit is more powerful in real-time than two one-head tape units, as is commonly conje...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of patellar taping on the amplitude of electromyographic activity (EMG) of vasti activation in subjects with and without patellofemoral pain (PFP). METHODS Ten participants with PFP and 12 asymptomatic controls were recruited to the study. The study was designed as a randomised crossover trial. Participants completed a stair stepping task. Three experiment...

The advent of inexpensive multi-gigabyte tape drives has made possible the completely automated backup of many dozens of networked workstations to a single tape. One pioblem that arises with this scheme is that many computers cannot backup theiì disks óver the network at more than a f¡action of the tape's rated speed. Thus, running overnight backups sequentially can take well into the next day....

We describe chamber tests of simulated electrodynamic tethers (EDTs) of different geometries operating in a dense, high-speed plasma. The geometries tested were cylindrical, flat-ribbon, and sparse-ribbon or mesh. Several important conclusions that can be drawn from the tests are as follows: the currents collected by cylinder are close to what would be predicted via orbital-motion-limited (OML)...
