The canonical sequence LSGGQ, also known as the signature sequence, defines the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter superfamily. Crystallographic studies reveal that the signature sequence, together with the Walker A and Walker B motifs, forms the ATP-binding pocket upon dimerization of the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) in a head-to-tail configuration. The importan...

In this paper, an on-line signature verification scheme based on split-and-merge matching mechanism is proposed. Each word in the signature is specified with static and dynamic features: a sequence of (x, y) coordinates and a sequence of (x, y) velocities. We employ the split-and-merge matching mechanism for each input sequence of coordinates or velocities with the corresponding sequence of the...

Recently, optimum signature sequence sets that maximize the capacity of single-cell synchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) systems have been identified. Optimum signature sequences minimize the total squared correlation (TSC); they form a set of orthogonal sequences, if the number of users is less than or equal to the processing gain, and a set of Welch bound equality (WBE) sequences,...

The signature sequence amplification method (SSAM) described herein is an approach for amplifying noncoding RNA (ncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and small polynucleotide sequences. A key point of the SSAM technology is the generation of signature sequences. The signature sequences include target sequences (miRNA, ncRNA, and/or any small polynucleotide sequence) flanked by two DNA fragments. Target se...

We characterize the user capacity, i.e., the maximum number of supportable users at a common SIR target level for a fixed processing gain, of a single-cell symbol asynchronous CDMA system. We show that the user capacity of an asynchronous system is the same as the user capacity of a synchronous system; that is there is no loss in user capacity due to asynchrony. Optimum signature sequences are ...

about electronic signatures there are more or less some writings concerning their legal aspect. but in those writings there has been a little attention to credibility and evidential value of the electronic signatures. some questions and ambiguities despite being set before has not been answered at all or answered unsatisfactorily. meanwhile, some authors have made mistakes and some have set tri...

In this paper, we propose Simplified Regular Expression (SRE) signature, which uses multiple sequence alignment techniques, drawn from bioinformatics, in a novel approach to generating more accurate exploit-based signatures. We also provide formal definitions of what is ‘‘a more specific’’ and what is ‘‘the most specific’’ signature for a polymorphic worm and show that the most specific exploit...
