In the framework of BOSSE project, a 12 T insulated REBCO solenoid is being manufactured. This magnet will be used as SMES with objective to reach 1 MJ and specific energy 20 kJ/kg for winding. To manufacture this such performances, 21 Double Pancakes (DPs) assembled cooled in liquid helium bath at 4.2 K. validate solenoid's electromagnetic design, prototype DP tested self-field up its critical...

Data and Previous Literature: Elliott (1971) points out that DPs introduced by emotive factive predicates (cf. (1)) have exclamative interpretations. Grimshaw (1979) establishes a parallelism between DPs that are introduced by predicates that also take interrogative clauses (Concealed Questions CQs, (2)) and DPs that are introduced by predicates that also take exclamative clauses (cf. (2b)); sh...

Campylobacter jejuni enteritis is frequently associated with an axonal form of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and C. jejuni DNA-binding protein from starved cells (C-Dps) induces paranodal myelin detachment and axonal degeneration through binding with sulfatide in vivo. Here we investigated the invasion of C-Dps into hosts with C. jejuni-related GBS. Our analyses of patient sera found that both ...

Although the role of iron in marine productivity has received a great deal of attention, no iron storage protein has been isolated from a marine microorganism previously. We describe an Fe-binding protein belonging to the Dps family (DNA binding protein from starved cells) in the N(2)-fixing marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum. A dps gene encoding a protein with significant levels of...

Dps is a multifunctional homododecameric protein that oxidizes Fe2+ ions accumulating them in the form of Fe2O3 within its protein cavity, interacts with DNA tightly condensing bacterial nucleoid upon starvation and performs some other functions. During the last two decades from discovery of this protein, its ferroxidase activity became rather well studied, but the mechanism of Dps interaction ...

Electron tomography can provide three dimensional (3D) visualization of nanoscale objects in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) from a tilt series of projected images. The accuracy of the 3D reconstruction depends on quality of input parameters, including accurate alignment in real space and accuracy of tilt and azimuth angle measurements. Here we present an electron diffraction-based in-...

Distributed Problem Solving (DPS) decomposes problems into subproblems to be solved by interacting, cooperative software agents. Thus, DPS is suitable for modeling, in the context of parallel and distributed architectures, the solving of problems characterized by many inter-dependencies among subproblems. Concurrent Constraint Programming (CCP) provides a powerful execution framework for DPS, w...

Reinforcement learning (RL) methods based on direct policy search (DPS) have been actively discussed to achieve an efficient approach to complicated Markov decision processes (MDPs). Although they have brought much progress in practical applications of RL, there still remains an unsolved problem in DPS related to model selection for the policy. In this paper, we propose a novel DPS method, weig...

Digital Pathology Systems (DPS) are dynamic, image-based computer systems that enable the acquisition, management, and interpretation of pathology information generated from digitized glass slides. This article provides a roadmap for (1) qualification of a whole slide scanner (WSS) during a validation project, (2) validation of software required to generate the whole slide image (WSI), and (3) ...
