Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important for computing systems, in particular for large scale HPC facilities. In this work we evaluate, from an user perspective, the use of Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) techniques, assisted by the power and energy monitoring capabilities of modern processors in order to tune applications for energy efficiency. We run selected kernels ...

The avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strain (chi)7122 (serotype O78:K80:H9) causes airsacculitis and colisepticemia in chickens. To identify genes associated with avian disease, a genomic subtraction technique was performed between strain (chi)7122 and the E. coli K-12 strain (chi)289. The DNA isolated using this method was found only in strain (chi)7122 and was used to identify cosmid clones ...

Based on marine environmental factors of different sea areas, a high-performance clutter time series modeling algorithm for the real surface is developed to study amplitude mean and Doppler spectrum characteristics clutter. The European Centre Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) data set (ERA-Interim) ESA’s soil moisture ocean salinity (SMOS) are utilized establish databases factors. Combine...

A total of 79 capsular types have been reported in Klebsiella spp., whereas capsular polysaccharide synthesis (cps) regions were available in only 22 types. Due to the limitations of serotyping, complete repertoire of cps will be helpful for capsular genotyping. We therefore resolved the rest 57 cps and conducted comparative analysis. Clustering results of 1,515 predicted proteins from cps loci...

Cytokeratins (CK or CKs) are the largest complex group of IF proteins. These are proteins, that are crucial in the development and differentiation of epithelial cells, as well as essential for normal tissue structure and function. The first keratin protein nomenclature was published by Moll et al. (1982) and it has been repeatedly updated in recent years (Schweizer et al., 2006). Based on the r...

Major facilitators represent the largest superfamily of secondary active transporter proteins and catalyze the transport of an enormous variety of small solute molecules across biological membranes. However, individual superfamily members, although they may be architecturally similar, exhibit strict specificity toward the substrates they transport. The structural basis of this specificity is po...

This work investigates the effects of two hydrogels used for the selective removal of a synthetic soiling mixture on mastic, shellac and Laropal® K80 varnishes. The varnishes were spin-coated on aluminium tiles which were subjected to accelerated degradation in a xenon-arc fadeometer. A synthetic mixture, simulating urban pollution, was produced and applied on the degraded varnish films. The fa...
