Heterochromatin underpins gene repression, genome integrity, and chromosome segregation. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, conserved protein complexes effect heterochromatin formation via RNA interference-mediated recruitment of a histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase to cognate chromatin regions. To identify small molecules that inhibit heterochromatin formation, we performed an ...

The articles [15], [8], [9], [10], [14], [11], [18], [2], [4], [6], [7], [5], [16], [1], [3], [19], [20], [12], [17], and [13] provide the notation and terminology for this paper. For simplicity, we adopt the following rules: a, b are data-locations, i1, i2, i3 are instruction-locations of SCM, s1, s2 are states of SCM, T is an instruction type of SCM, and k is a natural number. We now state a ...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-specific genotypes have been closely correlated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (GC). The present study aimed to determine the distribution of H. pylori pathogenic genotypes amongst Iranians infected with strains representing European ancestry in areas with different GC incidence.  METHODS A total of 138 H. pylori isolates from ten districts...

Figure 1: Matching I1 and I2 using DNN flow. Each column shows the matching of different levels. In first row, parallelogram denotes the DNN feature image of I1, where dot represents the feature at that location. Line with arrow denotes the flow vector of the corresponding feature, while curve with arrow denotes guidance from high level to low level. In second row, the color rectangles show I1’...

We discuss the two-loop integrals necessary for evaluating massless 2 → 2 scattering amplitudes. As a test process, we consider the leading colour two-loop contribution to q ¯ q → q ′ ¯ q ′. We show that for physical scattering processes the two Smirnov-Veretin planar box graphs I1 and I2 are accompanied by factors of 1/(D − 4) thereby necessitating a knowledge of both I1 and I2 to O(ǫ). Using ...

The algorithm described in this paper takes (a) two temporally-separated CT scans, I1 and I2, and (b) a series of locations in I1, and it produces, for each location, an affine transformation mapping the locations and their immediate neighborhood from I1 to I2. It does this without deformable registration by using a combination of feature extraction, indexing, refinement and decision processes....

For x = (x1, x2, · · · , xn) ∈ R+, the symmetric function φn(x, r) is defined by φn(x, r) = φn(x1, x2, · · · , xn; r) = ∏ 1≤i1<i2···<ir≤n  r ∑ j=1 1 + xij xij  , where r = 1, 2, · · · , n, and i1, i2, · · · , in are positive integers. In this article, the Schur convexity, Schur multiplicative convexity and Schur harmonic convexity of φn(x, r) are discussed. As applications, some inequalitie...

This work investigated the effects of soft rot (Erwinia carotovora) on respiration rate of potatoes stored at three storage temperatures (5, 10, and 15 C) covering temperature ranges commonly encountered in storage. Five treatments were evaluated: healthy (H), healthy with holes (HW), inoculation with no incubation (I0), inoculation with 24 hr incubation (I1), and inoculated with 48 hr incubati...

As discussed in Section 4.1 in the main paper, we have observed that when simultaneously examining more than two pairs of frames, correct feature matches are more consistent with other correct matches than with other incorrect matches. As an example, when frame I1 correctly matches frame I2, and frame I2 correctly matches frame I3, then it is very likely that I1 also matches I3. For incorrect m...

For x x1, x2, . . . , xn ∈ 0, 1 n and r ∈ {1, 2, . . . , n}, the symmetric function Fn x, r is defined as Fn x, r Fn x1, x2, . . . , xn; r ∑ 1≤i1<i2 ···<ir≤n ∏r j 1 1 xij / 1−xij , where i1, i2, . . . , in are positive integers. In this paper, the Schur convexity, Schur multiplicative convexity, and Schur harmonic convexity of Fn x, r are discussed. As consequences, several inequalities are est...
