(111) Surface States of SnTe
(2014-12--0)The characterization and applications of topological insulators depend critically on their protected surface states, which, however, can be obscured by the presence of trivial dangling bond states. Our first-principle ... -
2d Frequency-Domain Elastic Full-Waveform Inversion Using Time-Domain Modeling and a Multistep-Length Gradient Approach
(Soc Exploration Geophysicists, 2014-02-17)To decouple the parameters in elastic full-waveform inversion (FWI), we evaluated a new multistep-length gradient approach to assign individual weights separately for each parameter gradient and search for an optimal step ... -
3CPET: Finding Co-Factor Complexes from ChIA-Pet Data Using a Hierarchical Dirichlet Process
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2015-12-22)Various efforts have been made to elucidate the cooperating proteins involved in maintaining chromatin interactions; however, many are still unknown. Here, we present 3CPET, a tool based on a non-parametric Bayesian approach, ... -
3D, 9C Seismic Modeling and Inversion of Weyburn Field Data
(2012-06-18)Inversion of 3D, 9C wide azimuth vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data from the Weyburn Field for 21 independent elastic tensor elements was performed based on the Christoffel equation, using slowness and polarization ... -
The 4-D Microgravity Method for Waterflood Surveillance: A Model Study for the Prudhoe Bay Reservoir, Alaska
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 1999-01)Forward and inverse gravity modeling is carried out on a suite of reservoir simulations of a proposed water injection on the Prudhoe Bay reservoir, Alaska. A novel surveillance technique is developed in which surface gravity ... -
5-Methoxy-α-Methyltryptamine (5-MeO-AMT), A Tryptamine Derivative, Induces Head-Twitch Responses in Mice through the Activation of Serotonin Receptor 2a in the Prefrontal Cortex
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018-07-24)5-Methoxy-α-methyltryptamine (5-MeO-AMT) is a tryptamine derivative that is used recreationally because of its reported hallucinogenic and mood elevating effects. Studies suggest that the psychopharmacological effects of ... -
A Bayesian Latent Variable Approach to Aggregation of Partial and Top-Ranked Lists in Genomic Studies
In genomic research, it is becoming increasingly popular to perform meta-analysis, the practice of combining results from multiple studies that target a common essential biological problem. Rank aggregation, a robust ... -
A Few-Minute Synthesis of CsPbBr₃ Nanolasers with a High Quality Factor by Spraying at Ambient Conditions
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2018-12-12)Inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite nanowires, generating laser emission in the broad spectral range at room temperature and low threshold, have become powerful tools for the cutting-edge applications in the optoelectronics ... -
A Holistic View of Cancer Bioenergetics: Mitochondrial Function and Respiration Play Fundamental Roles in the Development and Progression of Diverse Tumors
Since Otto Warburg made the first observation that tumor cells exhibit altered metabolism and bioenergetics in the 1920s, many scientists have tried to further the understanding of tumor bioenergetics. Particularly, in the ... -
A Multiscale Direct Solver for the Approximation of Flows in High Contrast Porous Media
We consider a non-overlapping domain decomposition approach to approximate the solution of elliptic boundary value problems with high contrast in their coefficients. We propose a method such that initially local solutions ... -
A Multiscale Model to Study the Enhancement in the Compressive Strength of Multi-Walled CNT Sheet Overwrapped Carbon Fiber Composites
The high tensile strength of polymer matrix composites is derived primarily from the high strength of the carbon fibers embedded in the polymer matrix. However, their compressive strength is generally much lower due to the ... -
A Novel Inhibitor of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase Stimulates Myocardial Carbohydrate Oxidation in Diet-Induced Obesity
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a key control point of energy metabolism and is subject to regulation by multiple mechanisms, including posttranslational phosphorylation by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). ... -
A Phenotypic Cell-Binding Screen Identifies a Novel Compound Targeting Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
We describe a "phenotypic cell-binding screen" by which therapeutic candidate targeting cancer cells of a particular phenotype can be isolated without knowledge of drug targets. Chemical library beads are incubated with ... -
A Type I Restriction-Modification System Associated with Enterococcus Faecium Subspecies Separation
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2019-01-09)The gastrointestinal colonizer Enterococcus faecium is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. faecium isolates are particularly concerning for infection treatment. Previous comparative ... -
Absence of Thermalization in Finite Isolated Interacting Floquet Systems
(Amer Physical Soc, 2018-10-22)Conventional wisdom suggests that the long-time behavior of isolated interacting periodically driven (Floquet) systems is a featureless maximal-entropy state characterized by an infinite temperature. Efforts to thwart this ... -
Accumulation Capacitance Frequency Dispersion of Ⅲ-Ⅴ Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Devices due to Disorder Induced Gap States
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2014-07-07)The origin of the anomalous frequency dispersion in accumulation capacitance of metal-insulator-semiconductor devices on InGaAs and InP substrates is investigated using modeling, electrical characterization, and chemical ... -
Activation of the Integrated Stress Response in Nociceptors Drives Methylglyoxal-Induced Pain
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019-01)Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a reactive glycolytic metabolite associated with painful diabetic neuropathy at plasma concentrations between 500 nM and 5 μM. The mechanisms through which MGO causes neuropathic pain at these ... -
