The control of gene transcription requires specific protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. c-Myc, the protein product of the c-myc protooncogene, is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine-zipper class of transcription factors. Although c-Myc is able to bind to a specific core hexanucleotide DNA sequence (CACGTG), its precise function in modulating transcription remains unclear. T...

although there is enough knowledge indicating on the influence of frequency content of input motion on the deformation demand of structures, state-of-the-practice seismic studies use the intensity measures such as peak ground acceleration (pga) which are not frequency dependent. the v max/a max ratio of strong ground motions can be used in seismic hazard studies as the representative of frequen...

By taking the MAX from their inputs, neurons in the ventral visual pathway might preserve their selectivity even when stimulated with natural scenes. This computational hypothesis has received recent direct physiological evidence from recordings of V4 neuronal responses, in a recent study by Gawne and Martin (2002). Object vision might rely more heavily on parallel processing than generally tho...

In this paper we review recent discovery of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in eccentric binary systems. Timing these MSPs we were able to estimate (and in one case precisely measure) their masses. These results suggest that, as a class, MSPs have a much wider range of masses (1.3 to > 2M⊙) than the normal and mildly recycled pulsars found in double neutron star (DNS) systems (1.25 < Mp < 1.44M⊙). T...

GpENI needs the capability of creating dynamic virtual circuits from any of the participating GpENI universities to the MAX network. In this document we investigate the changes needed in the GpENI infrastructure to establish a dynamic circuit connection to MAX. The current infrastructure of GpENI has already been described in the previous 2 deliverables [6] [7]. We discuss 3 options to connect ...

A statistical database is a database in which only queries of statistical type are allowed, such as SUM, COUNT, MAX, MIN, MEAN. The security problem for a statistical database is to nd suitable control mechanisms so that while statistical information is provided, no sequence of queries is suucient to infer the values of protected elds of individual records. If such an inference is possible we s...

Texture Mapping with Mudbox and 3ds Max Joshua Holland Graphic Communication Department, December 2011 Advisor: Kevin Cooper The purpose of this study was to determine the intuitiveness of texture mapping and compressibility of files generated using Autodesk 3ds Max 2012 versus Autodesk Mudbox 2012. This will be used by anyone starting to learn how to texture map and who is comparing programs t...

In Tswana parsing of nasals in syllabic peak position is avoided by deletion. This implies the general ranking *P/NAS >> MAX. However, there are three distinct environments where faithfulness is respected and the marked nasal peaks are preserved onto the surface. These three environments are when the nonparsing of the nasal will result in: (i) a word below the minimal word length requirement of...

An approximation algorithm for Max Cut is designed and analyzed; its performances are experimentally compared with those of a neural algorithm and of the Goemans and Williamson's algorithm.
