Only a few genes remain in the mitochondrial genome retained by every eukaryotic organism that carry out essential functions and are implicated in severe diseases. Experimentally relocating these few genes to the nucleus therefore has both therapeutic and evolutionary implications. Numerous unproductive attempts have been made to do so, with a total of only 5 successes across all organisms. We ...

Wireless sensor networks are comprised of geographically distributed sensors that collect and convey time-critical information without human intervention, making them particularly useful for military applications; however, network performance may be limited by the typically small energy supplies of the sensors. One strategy for dealing with limited energy storage in such networks is to allow se...

Microscopic observations of cultured cells in many lab-on-a-chip applications mostly utilize digital image acquisition using CCD sensors connected to a personal computer. The functionalities of this digital imaging can be enhanced by implementing computer-vision based augmented reality technologies. In this study, we present a new method for precisely relocating biological specimens under micro...

The forensic risk assessment model for child custody relocation cases was described by Austin (2000a, 2000b). It is a research-based, actuarial predictive model designed to assist evaluators in organizing data for the complex relocation case. It is only the first step in the forensic relocation analysis. The model can serve as a heuristic for decision makers who are in a position of trying to r...

As microprocessors become faster and demand more bandwidth the already limited scalability of a shared-bus decreases even further. Cache only memory architecture (COMA) for distributed shared memory multiprocessors has a potential to effectively decrease the gap between high performance microprocessors and bus. The concept of COMA is organizing traditional main memory as a large cache. COMA all...
