Insulin/Insulin-like growth factors play important roles in promoting proliferation, differentiation, growth and development of organisms. In this article, bioinformatics analysis was performed to locate and identify the Bombyx mori insulin-like peptide (BmILP) gene, which had two introns, three exons, and a predicted signal peptide at the front, and it also determined that BmILP was the same t...

The passive resonator approach to fiber opt sensing has benefitted from recent advances in fiber High performance couplers, spliceless resonators' ic rotation components. , and long coherence length laser diodes have been described. Polarization maintaining components and 1.3 & 1.55 urn wavelength components are being made, and one company is selling high finesse resonators commercially2. This ...

In receiving systems in which the analog signal voltage is sampled and quantized to allow further processing in digital form, the difference between the analog samples and their digital representation gives rise to a component of random quantization noise. The power spectrum of the quantization noise is close to being uniformly level across the receiver passband, even for large variation in the...

Particle tracing is a simple technique used to infer global quantitative information regarding velocity and vorticity fields from flow images. In this paper, recent advances in solving major drawbacks associated with conventional particle tracing are discussed. A quantitative automatic scheme which eliminates the photographic step and is capable of constructing the velocity field directly from ...
