Barnacle cement is an underwater adhesive that is used for permanent settlement, and is an insoluble protein complex. A method for rendering soluble the cement of Megabalanus rosa has been developed, and three major proteins have been identified in a previous study. To survey the M. rosa cement proteins in a lower molecular mass range, the cement proteins were separated by reversed-phase HPLC a...

In this paper we report on the LIMSI Wall Street Journal system which was evaluated in the November 1993 test. The recognizer makes use of continuous density HMM with Gaussian mixture for acoustic modeling and n-gram statistics estimated on the newspaper texts for language modeling. The decoding is carried out in two forward acoustic passes. The first pass is a time-synchronous graphsearch, whi...

Abstract DarkSide-20k is a rare-event search experiment aimed at finding signals of dark matter particles. It dual-phase detector that registers ionisation and scintillation originating from the particles interacting with liquid argon medium. enclosed in single-phase neutron veto tank, equipped Gd-loaded panels for capturing neutrons. Since vetoing particle identification are carried out using ...

Many factors, such as supply voltage, current consumption, die size, and routing structure, affect semiconductor power consumption. For devices with the same supply voltages, the device current determines power consumption. Although modeling can be an effective tool for estimating the current consumption of a particular design, it is not appropriate for comparing the relative current consumptio...

A bifunctional fluorescent alkylating agent, dibromobimane, has been used to stabilize a preexisting primary loop in myosin subfragment 1 (S-1). The crosslink achieved joins Cys-707 (called sulfhydryl group "SH1") of the 20-kDa domain (formerly called "20K" domain) with a thiol of the 50-kDa domain and seems to place the dibromobimane near the ATP-perturbable tryptophan.
