We have carried out a series of extended unbiased molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (up to 10 μs long, ∼162 μs in total) complemented by replica-exchange with the collective variable tempering (RECT) approach for several human telomeric DNA G-quadruplex (GQ) topologies with TTA propeller loops. We used different AMBER DNA force-field variants and also processed simulations by Markov State Mod...

This study investigates teacher appraisers' perceptions of appraisal in terms its purpose, methods, and criteria. Fourteen teacher-appraisers were administered semi-structured interviews to gain an in-depth understanding their appraisal. Analysis the responses revealed that participants seemed advocate use for both professional improvement decision-making purposes. Participants also agree about...

Various aspects of orbifolds and cosets the small $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal algebra are studied. First, we determine minimal strong generators for generic specific levels. As a corollary, obtain vertex global sections chiral de Rham complex on any Enriques surface. We also identify with $\text{Com}(V^{\ell}(\mathfrak{sl}_2), V^{\ell+1}(\mathfrak{sl}_2) \otimes \mathcal{W}_{-5/2}(\mathfrak{...

Correction: Identification and treatment of the Staphylococcus aureus reservoir in vivo Bas G.J. Surewaard, Justin F. Deniset, Franz J. Zemp, Matthias Amrein, Michael Otto, John Conly, Abdelwahab Omri, Robin M. Yates, and Paul Kubes Vol. 213, No. 7, June 27, 2016. Pages 1141–1151. The authors regret that in their original paper, the y axis labels in Fig. 5 h were reversed. The corrected figure ...

Some fuzzy expert systems have used fuzzy rules with numerical values which represent degrees of conndence for rules. We discuss two kinds of interpretations for these numerical degrees of conndence for rules, called "di-rect degrees " and "indirect degrees". Then, we apply Zadeh's, Baldwin's, and Tsukamoto's reasoning method to the rules under the two interpretations using general T-norms, and...

-Experimentally-determined absorption coefficients for broadband ArF exclmer ra&atlon at 193 mm are presented at temperatures up to 3500 K for 02, NH3, and H20. These values were determined in a high-purity shock tube, either by measuring excimer pulse fractional absorptions or by measuring photolysls-product yields. Correlations between absorption coefficients and wbratlonal populations of the...

Three types of HST: square tiling (e.g., Quadtree and Spatial Pyramid), rectangular tiling (HST-RECT), triangular tiling (HST-TRI) Representation Given a set of scene configurations (scene label maps), we present a learning-by-parsing (EM-like) method to learn the HST representation including the branching probability at Or-nodes and the tiling dictionary. E-Step: fix HST and infer parse tree b...

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density-functional theory are used to reexamine the structure of the renowned p(4 x 4)-O/Ag(111) surface oxide. The accepted structural model [C. I. Carlisle, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3899 (2000)10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.3899] is incompatible with the enhanced resolution of the current STM measurements. An "Ag6 model" is proposed that is more stable than its pre...
