This paper describes J-Sim v. 0.1.1, an object-oriented library using the method of pseudoparallel execution for simulation of discrete processes. Being written in Java, J-Sim is a fully portable successor to C-Sim, an already existing Cbased library. The concepts used in both libraries are inherited from the Simula language. In this paper, the theoretical background as well as the basic princi...

Let V and W be two real vector spaces and let &sim be a relation on both V and W. A linear function T : V → W is said to be a linear preserver (respectively strong linear preserver) of &sim if Tx &sim Ty whenever x &sim y (respectively Tx &sim Ty if and only if x &sim y). In this paper we characterize all linear functions T : M_{n,m} → M_{n,k} which preserve or strongly preserve multivariate an...

► SiM would in future publish three issues per year; ► SiM would only accept papers that deal with fungal cultures, and/or fungal DNA, which should be deposited at CBS to be optimally accessible to the scientific community; ► SiM would publish papers by invitation or if a volume or special topic was supported by one of its associate editors; ► SiM would move to a print-on-demand system that all...

BACKGROUND Population movements following disasters can cause important increases in morbidity and mortality. Without knowledge of the locations of affected people, relief assistance is compromised. No rapid and accurate method exists to track population movements after disasters. We used position data of subscriber identity module (SIM) cards from the largest mobile phone company in Haiti (Dig...

This paper describes J-Sim, a Java library for discrete-time process-oriented simulation. J-Sim is a fully portable successor to C-Sim, an already existing library written in C. The concepts used in both libraries are inherited from the Simula language. In this paper, the theoretical background, basic principles of implementation, and a simple example of use are presented.

In interspecific hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans, the D. simulans nucleoporin-encoding Nup96(sim) and Nup160(sim) can cause recessive lethality if the hybrid does not also inherit the D. simulans X chromosome. In addition, Nup160(sim) leads to recessive female sterility in the D. melanogaster genetic background. Here, we conducted carefully controlled crosses to ...

Scanning Impedance Microscopy (SIM) is one of the novel scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, which has been developed to taking image from sample surface, providing quantitative information with high lateral resolution on the interface capacitance, and investigating the local capacitance–voltage (C–V) behavior of the interface and AC transport properties. The SIM is an ordinary AFM equip...

O objetivo central desse trabalho é apresentar o carimbo como uma importante ferramenta de segurança em coleções especiais, considerando seu lugar marca proveniência e a relevância garantir que itens roubados e/ou dissociados voltem para onde foram retirados. Para isso, entende-se especiais são aquelas construídas por considerados, valor distinto, suficiente serem diferenciadamente preservados;...

single-minded (sim) is a master regulatory gene that directs differentiation in the central nervous system during Drosophila embryogenesis. Recent identification of the mesectoderm enhancer (MSE) of sim has led to the hypothesis that two Snail (Sna)-binding sites in the MSE may repress sim expression in the presumptive mesoderm. We provide evidence here that three Sna-binding sites proximal to ...
