The RcsCDB system of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is implicated in the control of capsule and flagella synthesis. The hybrid sensor RcsC, the phosphotransferase RcsD and the RcsB regulator, constitute the main components of the RcsCDB system. The proposed Rcs signaling cascade involves the autophosphorylation of RcsC and the transfer of the phosphate group to RcsB, mediated by RcsD. ...

We describe a high-order method for computing the monostatic and bistatic radar cross section (RCS) of a class of three-dimensional targets. Our method is based on an electric field surface integral equation reformulation of the Maxwell equations. The hybrid nature of the scheme is due to approximations based on a combination of tangential and nontangential basis functions on a parametric refer...

Abstract: One of the equipment that can help improve distribution system status today and reduce the cost of fault time is remote control switches (RCS). Finding the optimal location and number of these switches in the distribution system can be modeled with various objective functions as a nonlinear optimization problem to improve system reliability and cost. In this article, a particle swarm ...

In Escherichia coli, capsular colanic acid polysaccharide synthesis is regulated through the multistep RcsC-->YojN-->RcsB phosphorelay. By monitoring a hallmarked cps::lacZ reporter gene, we first searched for physiological stimuli that propagate the Rcs signaling system. The expression of cps::lacZ was activated when cells were grown at a low temperature (20 degrees C) in the presence of gluco...

a parallel hybrid system of hmm and gmm modeling techniques was implemented and used in a telephony speaker verification and identification system. spectral subtraction and weighted projection measure were used to render this system more robust against additional noise. cepstral mean subtraction method was also applied for the compensation of convolution noise due to transmission channel degrad...

In this cross-sectional study, clinical performances of the hybrid capture 2 assay using an automated instrument (i.e., rapid capture system) (hc2-RCS) and the high-risk human papillomavirus GP5+/6+ PCR-enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test were compared using cervical scrape specimens from 8,132 women that participated in a population-based screening trial. The hc2-RCS test scored significantly more s...

Intelligent systems operate in the midst of a superabundance of information lacking the tags that indicate which few aspects are significant to the particular problems at hand at any given time and place. Given this wealth of information coupled with real-time processing constraints, selective attention is fundamental to any chance of success. In much of cognitive science, attentional focus is ...

In this paper, we present our expressive body-gestures animation synthesis model for our Embodied Conversational Agent(ECA) technology. Our implementation builds upon a full body reach model using a hybrid kinematics solution. We describe the full pipeline of our model that starts from a symbolic description of behaviors, to the construction of a set of keyframes till the generation of the whol...

We have investigated two kinds of hybrid methods for the electromagnetic scattering problem in the mid-frequency range. These are, a current-based approximation to the Magnetic Field Integral Equation called Physical Optics (PO) and the ray-based method Geometrical Theory of Diiraction (GTD), both combined with the Method of Moments (MM) such that MM is used on details that are small compared t...
