Aperiodic Stepwise Growth Model for the Velocity and Orientation Dependence of Solute Trapping
(Materials Research Society, 1987)An atomistic model for the dependence on interface orientation and velocity v of the solute partition coefficient <i>k</i> during rapid solidification is developed in detail. Starting with a simple stepwise growth model, ... -
Aphrodisiac Use Associated with HIV Infection in Elderly Male Clients of Low-Cost Commercial Sex Venues in Guangxi, China: A Matched Case-Control Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: Rising HIV infection rates have been observed among elderly people in Guangxi, China. Inexpensive aphrodisiacs are available for purchase in suburban and rural areas. This study aims to investigate the association ... -
APOBEC3G Polymorphism as a Selective Barrier to Cross-Species Transmission and Emergence of Pathogenic SIV and AIDS in a Primate Host
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Cellular restriction factors, which render cells intrinsically resistant to viruses, potentially impose genetic barriers to cross-species transmission and emergence of viral pathogens in nature. One such factor is APOBEC3G. ... -
Apollo: A Sequence Annotation Editor
(BioMed Central, 2002)The well-established inaccuracy of purely computational methods for annotating genome sequences necessitates an interactive tool to allow biological experts to refine these approximations by viewing and independently ... -
APP-RUSS: Automated Path Planning for Robotic Ultrasound System
(2023)Autonomous robotic ultrasound System (RUSS) has been extensively studied. However, fully automated ultrasound image acquisition is still challenging, partly due to the lack of study in combining two phases of path planning: ... -
An Apparatus for Performing Microtensile Tests at Elevated Temperatures inside a Scanning Electron Microscope
(Elsevier, 2013)In this paper, we introduce an apparatus to perform microtensile tests at elevated temperatures inside a scanning electron microscope. The apparatus has a stroke of 250 μm with a displacement resolution of 10 nm and a load ... -
Apparent Universality of Positive Implicit Self-Esteem
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007) -
Application of a Catalytic Asymmetric Povarov Reaction using Chiral Ureas to the Synthesis of a Tetrahydroquinoline Library
(American Chemical Society, 2012)A 2328-membered library of 2,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydroquinolines was produced using a combination of solution- and solid-phase synthesis techniques. A tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) scaffold was prepared via an asymmetric ... -
Application of Compressed Sensing to the Simulation of Atomic Systems
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012)Compressed sensing is a method that allows a significant reduction in the number of samples required for accurate measurements in many applications in experimental sciences and engineering. In this work, we show that ... -
Application of empirical orthogonal functions to evaluate ozone simulations with regional and global models
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)Empirical orthogonal functions are used together with standard statistical metrics to evaluate the ability of models with different spatial resolutions to reproduce observed patterns of surface ozone (O3) in the eastern ... -
Application of in-situ nano-scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction to characterize Ni–Ti–Hf high-temperature shape memory alloys
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Combinatorial nanocalorimetry and synchrotron x-ray diffraction were combined to study the martensite-austenite (M-A) phase transformation behavior of Ni-Ti-Hf shape memory alloys. A thin-film library of Ni-Ti-Hf samples ... -
Application of magnetic resonance imaging in zoology
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2011)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique that today constitutes one of the main pillars of preclinical and clinical imaging. MRI’s capacity to depict soft tissue in whole specimens ex vivo as ... -
Application of Onsager's Reciprocity Relations to Interface Motion During Phase Transformations.
(Journal of Chemical Physics, 1989)A number of theories have been developed for the kinetics of steady-state interface motion during a phase transformation. One requirement of such theories is that they satisfy Onsager’s reciprocity relations for coupled ... -
Application of Palladium-Mediated 18F-Fluorination to PET Radiotracer Development: Overcoming Hurdles to Translation
(Public Library of Science, 2013)New chemistry methods for the synthesis of radiolabeled small molecules have the potential to impact clinical positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, if they can be successfully translated. However, progression of ... -
Application of Protein Microarrays for Multiplexed Detection of Antibodies to Tumor Antigens in Breast Cancer
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008)There is strong preclinical evidence that cancer, including breast cancer, undergoes immune surveillance. This continual monitoring, by both the innate and the adaptive immune systems, recognizes changes in protein expression, ... -
Application Performance on the Direct Access File System
(2003)The Direct Access File System (DAFS) is a distributed file system built on top of direct-access transports (DAT). Direct-access transports are characterized by using remote direct memory access (RDMA) for data transfer and ... -
Applications of sequence coevolution in membrane protein biochemistry
(Elsevier BV, 2018-04)Recently, protein sequence coevolution analysis has matured into a predictive powerhouse for protein structure and function. Direct methods, which use global statistical models of sequence coevolution, have enabled the ... -
Applied inference
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2010)We propose and apply a new simulation paradigm for microarchitectural design evaluation and optimization. This paradigm enables more comprehensive design studies by combining spatial sampling and statistical inference. ...
