11B and 23 Na solid-state NMR and density functional theory studies of electric field gradients at boron sites in ulexite
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-07-31)Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters of 11B in borates and borosilicates, unlike those of many other nuclei such as 29Si and 27Al, vary only over limited ranges and have been thought to be insensitive to local ... -
A Directional Antenna in a Matching Liquid for Microwave Radar Imaging
(2015-11-10)The detailed design equations and antenna parameters for a directional antenna for breast imaging are presented in this paper. The antenna was designed so that it could be immersed in canola oil to achieve efficient coupling ... -
A method of spatial correction for acoustic positioning biotelemetry
(2016-02-03)Abstract Background It has been stated that there is a certain amount of intrinsic error inherent in all remote sensing methods, including acoustic telemetry, which has gained ... -
A New Mathematical Model for Assessing Therapeutic Strategies for HIV Infection
(2002-1-1)The requirements for the eradication of HIV in infected individuals are unknown. Intermittent administration of the immune activator interleukin-2 (IL-2) in combination with highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has ... -
A privacy-preserving distributed filtering framework for NLP artifacts
(2019-09-07)Abstract Background Medical data sharing is a big challenge in biomedicine, which often hinders collaborative research. Due to privacy concerns, clinical notes cannot be ... -
A year of terror and a century of reflection: perspectives on the great influenza pandemic of 1918–1919
(2019-02-06)Abstract Background In the spring of 1918, the “War to End All Wars”, which would ultimately claim more than 37 million lives, had entered into its final year and would change ... -
Acid-base regulation in the Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister): effects of predicted future changes in environmental pCO2
(Marine Biology, 2013)Rising seawater pCO2 (ocean acidification) presents a challenge for marine organisms. To counteract disturbances, many aquatic crustaceans excrete/accumulate acid-base equivalents through their gills; however, not much is ... -
Adaptive multiple imputations of missing values using the class center
(2022-04-28)Abstract Big data has become a core technology to provide innovative solutions in many fields. However, the collected dataset for data analysis in various domains will contain missing values. Missing value ... -
AI-based sensor information fusion for supporting deep supervised learning
(MDPI, 2019-03)In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and its subarea of deep learning have drawn the attention of many researchers. At the same time, advances in technologies enable the generation or collection of large amounts ... -
Ammonia excretion in Caenorhabditis elegans: Physiological and molecular characterization of the rhr-2 knock-out mutant
(Comp Biochem Physiol A, 2016)Previous studies have shown the free living soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (N2 strain) to be ammonotelic. Ammonia excretion was suggested to take place partially via the hypodermis, involving the Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA), ... -
An OpenMP-based tool for finding longest common subsequence in bioinformatics
(2019-04-11)Abstract Objective Finding the longest common subsequence (LCS) among sequences is NP-hard. This is an important problem in bioinformatics for DNA sequence alignment and pattern ... -
Analyses of Physcomitrella patens Ankyrin Repeat Proteins by Computational Approach
(2016-6-27)Ankyrin (ANK) repeat containing proteins are evolutionary conserved and have functions in crucial cellular processes like cell cycle regulation and signal transduction. In this study, through an entirely in silico approach ... -
Analysis of Cluster Interconnection Schemes in 802.15.4 Beacon Enabled Networks
(2008-1-1)In this paper, we consider the interconnection of IEEE 802.15.4 beacon enabled network clusters. We discuss two types of interconnections. One type can be achieved by using the PAN coordinator node as the bridging device ... -
Analysis of high resolution FTIR spectra from synchrotron sources using evolutionary algorithms
(Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy, 2015-04-17)Room temperature Fourier transform infrared spectra of the four-membered heterocycle trimethylene sulfide were collected with a resolution of 0.00096cm−1 using synchrotron radiation from the Canadian Light Source from 500 ... -
Analysis of the Complex Quadrupole Hyperfine Patterns for Two Chlorine Nuclei in the Rotational Spectrum of 2,5-Dichlorothiophene
(The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2021-07-13)The rotational spectrum of 2,5-dichlorothiophene (DCT) was measured for the first time using Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy from 5.5-19 GHz. Dense hyperfine splitting patterns due to the two quadrupolar chlorine ... -
