Efficient use of accessibility in microRNA target prediction

Considering accessibility of the 3'UTR is believed to increase the precision of microRNA target predictions. We show that, contrary to common belief, ranking by the hybridization energy or by the sum of the opening and hybridization energies, used in curre ...

Ambient space formulations and statistical mechanics of holonomically constrained Langevin systems

John Maddocks

The most classic approach to the dynamics of an n-dimensional mechanical system constrained by d independent holonomic constraints is to pick explicitly a new set of (n - d) curvilinear coordinatesparametrizingthe manifold of configurations satisfying the ...

Threshold Saturation via Spatial Coupling: Why Convolutional LDPC Ensembles Perform So Well over the BEC

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

Convolutional low-density parity-check (LDPC) ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing functions of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed ...

RF current drive and plasma fluctuations

Stefano Coda, Joan Decker

The role played by electron density fluctuations near the plasma edge on rf current drive in tokamaks is assessed quantitatively. For this purpose, a general framework for incorporating density fluctuations in existing modelling tools has been developed. I ...

Topographical instability of event-related potentials in P300 wave study

Vitaly Chicherov

Microstate analysis of ERP and EEG topographies reveals stable patterns of brain activity. Little is known about the changes from one stable state to another. During such changes significant topographic instabilities are observed together with low ERP fiel ...

Regimes of classical transport of cold gases in a two-dimensional anisotropic disorder

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We numerically study the dynamics of cold atoms in a two-dimensional disordered potential. We consider an anisotropic speckle potential and focus on the classical dynamics, which is relevant to some recent experiments. Firstly, we study the behavior of par ...

Threshold saturation via spatial coupling: Why convolutional LDPC ensembles perform so well over the BEC

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

Convolutional LDPC ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing as a function of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed to date, all of which s ...

A partition-free approach to transient and steady-state charge currents

We construct a non-equilibrium steady state and calculate the corresponding current for a mesoscopic Fermi system in the partition-free setting. To this end we study a small sample coupled to a finite number of semi-infinite leads. Initially, the whole sys ...

Study of Nanometric Machining in Crystalline Solids Using Molecular Dynamics

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Pedro Romero

Due to the current interest in nanotechnology, there is a strong desire for comprehensive knowledge on the underlying mechanisms governing the nanometric machining process. This article employs molecular dynamics to study nanomachining in ductile crystalli ...
