A theory of dark matter
We propose a comprehensive theory of dark matter that explains the recent proliferation of unexpected observations in high-energy astrophysics. Cosmic ray spectra from ATIC and ...
The Coronavirus Spike Protein Is a Class I Virus Fusion Protein: Structural and Functional Characterization of the Fusion Core Complex
ABSTRACT Coronavirus entry is mediated by the viral spike (S) glycoprotein. The 180-kDa oligomeric S protein of the murine coronavirus mouse hepatitis virus strain A59 is posttr...
The Jpred 3 secondary structure prediction server
Jpred (http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jpred) is a secondary structure prediction server powered by the Jnet algorithm. Jpred performs over 1000 predictions per week for users i...
Plasma inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in severe acute respiratory syndrome
SUMMARY Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a recently emerged infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus, but its immunopathological mechanisms have not yet been ...
MicroRNA profiling reveals distinct signatures in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias
Little is known about the expression levels or function of micro-RNAs (miRNAs) in normal and neoplastic cells, although it is becoming clear that miRNAs play important roles in ...
Estimation of evolutionary distances between homologous nucleotide sequences.
By using two models of evolutionary base substitutions--"three-substitution-type" and "two-frequency-class" models--some formulae are derived which permit a simple estimation of...
Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor α Negatively Regulates the Vascular Inflammatory Gene Response by Negative Cross-talk with Transcription Factors NF-κB and AP-1
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine, whose plasma levels are elevated in inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. We have previously reported that peroxisome pr...
Being Inconsistent About Consistency: When Coefficient Alpha Does and Doesn't Matter
One of the central tenets of classical test theory is that scales should have a high degree of internal consistency, as evidenced by Cronbach's a, the mean interitem correlation...
Distributed Kalman Filter with Embedded Consensus Filters
The problem of distributed Kalman filtering (DKF) for sensor networks is one of the most fundamental distributed estimation problems for scalable sensor fusion. This paper addre...
First‐Year<i>Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe</i>(<i>WMAP</i>) Observations: Foreground Emission
Full sky maps are made in five microwave frequency bands to separate the temperature anisotropy of the CMB from foreground emission. We define masks that excise regions of high ...
Electromagnetic Absorption in a Disordered Medium near a Photon Mobility Edge
A frequency regime in which electromagnetic waves in a strongly disordered medium undergo Anderson localization in $d=3$ dimensions is suggested. In the presence of weak dissipa...
