'Tao Tang' 'Yingbo Cui'] Background The advent of Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing has overcome many limitations of second-generation sequencing, such as limited read lengths, PCR amplification biases. However, longer reads increase data volume exponentially and high error rates make many existing alignment…

With the development of multi-/many-core processors, applications need to be written as parallel programs to improve execution efficiency. For data-intensive applications that use multiple threads to read/write files simultaneously, an I/O sub-system can easily become a bottleneck when too many of these types of…

Human observers can rapidly perceive complex real-world scenes. Grouping visual elements into meaningful units is an integral part of this process. Yet, so far, the neural underpinnings of perceptual grouping have only been studied with simple lab stimuli. We here uncover the neural mechanisms of one important…

Parallelism, the evolution of similar traits in populations diversifying in similar conditions, provides good evidence of adaptation by natural selection. Many studies of parallelism have focused on comparisons of strongly different ecotypes or sharply contrasting environments, defined a priori, which could upwardly…

'Nesreen K. Ahmed' 'Ali Jannesari'] Parallelizing sequentially written programs is a challenging task. Even experienced developers need to spend considerable time finding parallelism opportunities and then actually writing parallel versions of sequentially written programs. To address this issue, we present AUTOPARLLM…

Testing the hypothesis of parallelism is a fundamental statistical problem arising from many applied sciences. In this paper, we develop a nonparametric parallelism test for inferring whether the trends are parallel in treatment and control groups. In particular, the proposed nonparametric parallelism test is a Wald…

Parallel adaptation results from independent evolution of similar traits between closely related lineages and allows testing to which extent evolution is repeatable. Parallel adaptation often involves similar gene expression changes but the identity of genes shaped by parallel selection and the causes of expression…

Protein conformational landscapes contain the functionally relevant information useful for understanding biological processes. Mapping out conformational landscapes provides valuable insights into protein behaviors and biological phenomena, and has relevance to therapeutic design. While experimental structural biology…

4## DISCUSSION As long as the entire size of simple, near, visual perception test for microsurgeon on parallelism is within diameter 5.4 mm (60 min, 60 pixels/282 dpi) circle, this test is reliable. For comparing perception between magnified and unmagnified situation, the visual target should be reduced in size. When…

Parallel evolution of phenotypic traits is regarded as strong evidence for natural selection and has been studied extensively in a variety of taxa. However, we have limited knowledge of whether parallel evolution of host organisms is accompanied by parallel changes of their associated microbial communities (i.e.…

Insights into the processes underpinning the evolution of phenotypic parallelism contribute to our understanding of the contributions of ancestral, introgressed, and novel genetic variation to phenotypic evolution. Phylogenomic analyses characterizing genome-wide gene tree heterogeneity can provide first clues about…

In this article we develop an algorithm to detect parallel texts in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. The results are presented online and chapters in the Hebrew Bible containing parallel passages can be inspected synoptically. Differences between parallel passages are highlighted. In a similar way the MT of…

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins are commonly used to sample from the Boltzmann distribution of conformational states, with wide-ranging applications spanning chemistry, biophysics, and drug discovery. However, MD can be inefficient at equilibrating water occupancy for buried cavities in proteins that…

Computing electrostatic interactions remains the bottleneck of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations despite more than a century of effort in developing methods to accelerate the calculation. Previously we have developed the Spherical Grid and Treecode (SGT) and Gauss-Legendre-Spherical-t (GLST) algorithms for…

We work through Book I of Euclid's Elements with our focus on application of areas (I.42, I.44, I.45). We summarize alternate constructions from medieval editions of Euclid's elements and ancient and medieval commentaries. We remark that Euclid's proof of I.44 involves a seldom commented on use of superposition, but…

> Yet there have been and still are geometers and philosophers, and even some of the most distinguished, who doubt whether the whole universe, or to speak more widely, the whole of being, was only created in Euclid's geometry; they even dare to dream that two parallel lines, which according to Euclid can never meet on…

In this paper, we reconstruct Euclid's theory of similar triangles, as developed in Book VI of the Elements, along with its 20th-century counterparts, formulated within the systems of Hilbert, Birkhoff, Borsuk and Szmielew, Millman and Parker, as well as Hartshorne. In the final sections, we present recent developments…

Although additive manufacturing using multi-photon direct laser writing is nowadays considered as a major tool in the fabrication of future nano/micro-objects and optical components, it is currently limited by the low throughput of the writing process. To circumvent this issue, massive parallelization of the write…

In this paper the concept of homothetic parallelogram is introduced. This concept is a generalization of Varignon's and Wittenbauer's parallelograms of an arbitrary quadrangle, whose diagonals are not parallel. A formula for the area and perimeter of a homothetic parallelogram for the case when quadrangles are not…

In this study, we introduce a method designed to eliminate parallax artefacts present in Xray powder diffraction computed tomography data acquired from large samples. These parallax artefacts manifest as artificial peak shifting, broadening and splitting, leading to inaccurate physicochemical information, such as…
