The electrons found in Dirac materials are notorious for being difficult to manipulate due to the Klein phenomenon and absence of backscattering. Here we investigate how spatial modulations of the Fermi velocity in two-dimensional Dirac materials can give rise to locali...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of the transcriptome and development of diseases including cancer and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Currently, a comprehensive map, illustrating how miRNAs regulate transcripts, pathways, ...

We call a positive real number $\lambda$ admissible if it belongs to the Lagrange spectrum and there exists an irrational number $\alpha$ such that $\mu(\alpha)=\lambda$. Here $\mu(\alpha)$ denotes the Lagrange constant of $\alpha$ - maximal real number $c$ such that $\...

In this paper we introduce a calibration procedure for validating of agent based models. Starting from the well-known financial model of (Brock and Hommes, 1998), we show how an appropriate calibration enables the model to describe price time series. We formulate the ca...

We present a detailed method to simulating sensor distortions using a photon and electron Monte Carlo method. We use three dimensional electrostatic simulations to parameterize the perturbed electric field profile for non-ideal sensor details. We follow the conversion o...

Abstract This study investigates circulation types (CTs) in Africa south of the equator that can be associated with extreme wet and dry conditions in Mozambique; the relationship between the CTs and climatic modes in the south Indian Ocean; and changes in the frequency ...

Abstract Objective: Based on GEO database, we performed bioinformatics analysis on rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-related gene chips to obtain key genes and signaling pathways of RA, understand the molecular mechanism of RA occurrence and development, and provide candidate t...

AbstractMicroorganisms faces many barriers in the degradation of the polycyclic aromatic polymer lignin, one of which is an abundance of methoxy substituents. Demethoxylation of lignin-derived aromatic monomers in aerobic environments releases formaldehyde, a potent cel...

We evaluate the hit rate of cosmic rays and their daughter particles on the Si:As IBC detectors in the IRAC instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The hit rate follows the ambient proton flux closely, but the hits occur at more than twice the rate expected just from...

AbstractAccurate information of taxonomy and geographic range of seahorse species (genus Hippocampus) is the first step in preparing threat assessments and designing effective conservation measures. Here, we report the range expansion and first occurrence of the Japanes...
