This study evaluated the rate of polymerization (R(p)) and degree of conversion (DC) of Panavia F when self- or dual-activated, and the influence of either using or not using a primer containing co-initiators (ED Primer) mixed with the material. The conversion reaction was monitored using real-time infrared spectroscopy with an attenuated total reflectance device. The cement was mixed, put onto...

OrgConv (Organellar Conversion) is a program designed for detection of gene conversion between plant mitochondrial and chloroplast homologous genes (or mt-cp conversion). Even though it was developed for detection of gene conversion between plant organelles, OrgConv has a good potential to be used more broadly e.g. between any two distinct groups of sequences. The package contains a feature pro...

Almost every paper I have ever read on infrastructure finance focuses on the achievement of what market practitioners believe is the Holy Grail of infrastructure finance. As PwC (2013) has stated in a recent publication, ‘[a] logical infrastructure project debt market would use short-term bank debt markets e.g. construction finance, with refinancing into the long-term institutional markets as s...

The following account of a case, which I may inadvertently be wrong in terming hysteria, presents a few points of interest, and hence the liberty I take in presenting it before the profession. " 0," a young African mess-room hoy, of the Baganda tribe, agecl about 21 years, intelligent, well nourished, well developed, and healthy, though of a marked nervous tendency, was on the morning of the 28...

With increasing amount of 3D content there is huge amount of growth in past many years, the availability of 3D content is still below the normal size by that of its 2D corresponding closely to one another. To remove this distance many 2D to 3D image conversion techniques has been proposed. It is important to estimate relative depth map in a single view image fo r 2D to 3D image conversion techn...

A 300-bp DNA sequence has been determined for 30 (10 from each of three species of mice) random isolates of a subset of the long interspersed repeat family L1. From these data we conclude that members of the L1 family are evolving in concert at the DNA sequence level in Mus domesticus, Mus caroli, and Mus platythrix. The mechanism responsible for this phenomenon may be either duplicative transp...

Due to the increasing availability of data and wider use of analytics, the ingredients for increased reliance on modeling and simulation are now present. Tremendous progress has been made in the field of modeling and simulation over the last six decades. Software and methodologies have advanced greatly. In the area of weather, future-casts based on model predictions have become highly accurate ...
