Gaining information about structural and functional features of newly identified proteins is often a difficult task. This information is crucial for understanding sequence-structure-function relationships of target proteins and, thus, essential in comprehending the mechanisms and dynamics of the molecular systems of interest. Using protein energy profiles is a novel approach that can contribute...

background :many studies have reported the increase in strength of the untrained contralateral limb after unilateral training. the aim of this study was to compare the cross education effect in the young and elderly persons.   methods : in this quasi-experimental and pre-post study, 12 young people aged 28.25 ±3.11 years and 12 elderly persons (aged 73.08 ± 5.3 years) participated. the subjects...

In this paper, we present a model of statistical word-level mapping for comparable corpora. The approach is based on the assumption that if two terms have close distributional profiles, their corresponding translations’ distributional profiles should be close in a comparable corpus. The proposed model is described. A preliminary investigation on intralanguage comparable corpora is laid out. The...

Regulatory relations between genes are an important component of molecular pathways. Here, we devise a novel global method that uses a set of gene expression profiles to find a small set of relevant active regulators, identify the genes that they regulate, and automatically annotate them. We show that our algorithm is capable of handling a large number of genes in a short time and is robust to ...

Abstract In this paper, we propose a random noise suppression and super-resolution reconstruction algorithm for seismic profiles based on Generative Adversarial Networks, in anticipation of reducing the influence low resolution profiles. Firstly, used residual learning strategy to construct de-noising subnet accurate separate interference basis protecting effective signal. Furthermore, it itera...

Kinematic bending of profiles allows to manufacture parts with high flexibility concerning the geometry. Still, production asymmetric cross-sections regarding force application axis using kinematic processes offers challenges springback and warping. These geometric deviations can be reduced by partial, cross-sectional heating during process as it lowers flow stress locally. In this work, influe...

Fourteen nurses with experience in the use of high-compression bandaging were asked to bandage the same limb with two different bandaging systems: the 'Charing Cross' four-layer regimen (System A), and a modified system incorporating two new bandages (System B). A sub-bandage pressure monitor was used to quantify the efficacy of the resulting bandaging for the two systems. The results indicated...

In this work, a blend of gelatin A (GA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K30) was used for semi-solid 3D printing bone scaffold ibuprofen (IBU) delivery. The cross-linking the obtained performed with 1% glutaraldehyde (GTA) solution, followed by lyophilization. thermal mechanical properties, as well drug release profiles, kinetics prepared scaffolds were investigated. cross-linked lyophilized has ...

We report cross-section measurement and propagation measurement of modes of large mode area holey fibers using near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Mode profiles are measured at the fiber end face using a scanning optical fiber tip held 10 nm from the surface, and compared to theoretical models. Both amplitude and phase of the electric field of the propagating light is measured using ...

The combined effect of superficial nanocrystallisation by SMAT (Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment) followed by plasma nitriding on the mechanical properties of a medical grade austenitic stainless steel was studied. SMAT conditions were optimised to enhance nitrogen diffusion. Experimental observations (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy profiles, cross-sectional optical micrographs, pha...
