Genes2Networks: Connecting Lists of Proteins by Using Background Literature-based Mammalian Networks
In recent years, in-silico literature-based mammalian protein-protein interaction network datasets have been developed. These datasets contain binary interactions extracted manually from legacy experimental biomedical research literature. Placing lists of genes or proteins identified as significantly changing in multivariate experiments, in the context of background knowledge about binary interactions, can be used to place these genes or proteins in the context of pathways and protein complexes.
Genes2Networks is a software system that integrates the content of ten mammalian literature-based interaction network datasets. Filtering to prune low-confidence interactions was implemented. Genes2Networks is delivered as a web-based service using AJAX. The system can be used to extract relevant subnetworks created from “seed” lists of human Entrez gene names. The output includes a dynamic linkable three color web-based network map, with a statistical analysis report that identifies significant intermediate nodes used to connect the seed list. Genes2Networks is available at http://actin.pharm.mssm.edu/genes2networks.
Genes2Network is a powerful web-based software application tool that can help experimental biologists to interpret high-throughput experimental results used in genomics and proteomics studies where the output of these experiments is a list of significantly changing genes or proteins. The system can be used to find relationships between nodes from the seed list, and predict novel nodes that play a key role in a common function
Numerical solution of the nonlinear evolution equation at small x with impact parameter and beyond the LL approximation
Nonlinear evolution equation at small x with impact parameter dependence is
analyzed numerically. Saturation scales and the radius of expansion in impact
parameter are extracted as functions of rapidity. Running coupling is included
in this evolution, and it is found that the solution is sensitive to the
infrared regularization. Kinematical effects beyond leading logarithmic
approximation are taken partially into account by modifying the kernel which
includes the rapidity dependent cuts. While the local nonlinear evolution is
not very sensitive to these effects, the kinematical constraints cannot be
neglected in the evolution with impact parameter.Comment: 22 pages, 37 figures, RevTe
Slow magnetic dynamics and hysteresis loops of a bulk ferromagnet
Magnetic dynamics of a bulk ferromagnet, a new single crystalline compound
Co7(TeO3)4Br6, was studied by ac susceptibility and the related techniques.
Very large Arrhenius activation energy of 17.2 meV (201 K) and long attempt
time (2x10^(-4)s) span the full spectrum of magnetic dynamics inside a
convenient frequency window, offering a rare opportunity for general studies of
magnetic dynamics. Within the experimental window the ac susceptibility data
build almost ideally semicircular Cole-Cole plots. Comprehensive study of
experimental dynamic hysteresis loops of the compound is presented and
interpreted within a simple thermal-activation-assisted spin lattice relaxation
model for spin reversal. Quantitative agreement between the experimental
results and the model's prediction for dynamic coercive field is achieved by
assuming the central physical quantity, the Debye relaxation rate, to depend on
frequency, as well as on the applied field strength and sample temperature.
Cross-over between minor- to major hysteresis loops is carefully analyzed.
Low-frequency limitations of the model, relying on domain wall pinning effects,
are experimentally detected and appropriately discussed.Comment: A paragraph on dynamical-hysteresis assymetry added, text partially

Ferrimagnetism of the magnetoelectric compound CuOSeO probed by Se NMR
We present a thorough Se NMR study of a single crystal of the
magnetoelectric compound CuOSeO. The temperature dependence of the
local electronic moments extracted from the NMR data is fully consistent with a
magnetic phase transition from the high-T paramagnetic phase to a low-T
ferrimagnetic state with 3/4 of the Cu ions aligned parallel and 1/4
aligned antiparallel to the applied field of 14.09 T. The transition to this
3up-1down magnetic state is not accompanied by any splitting of the NMR lines
or any abrupt modification in their broadening, hence there is no observable
reduction of the crystalline symmetry from its high-T cubic \textit{P}23
space group. These results are in agreement with high resolution x-ray
diffraction and magnetization data on powder samples reported previously by Bos
{\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. B, {\bf 78}, 094416 (2008)]. We also develop a mean
field theory description of the problem based on a microscopic spin Hamiltonian
with one antiferromagnetic ( K) and one ferromagnetic
( K) nearest-neighbor exchange interaction
Small x nonlinear evolution with impact parameter and the structure function data
The nonlinear Balitsky-Kovchegov equation at small x is solved numerically,
incorporating impact parameter dependence. Confinement is modeled by including
effective gluon mass in the dipole evolution kernel, which regulates the
splitting of dipoles with large sizes. It is shown, that the solution is
sensitive to different implementations of the mass in the kernel. In addition,
running coupling effects are taken into account in this analysis. Finally, a
comparison of the calculations using the dipole framework with the inclusive
data from HERA on the structure functions F2 and FL is performed.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures. Minor revision. One reference added, two

Hunting Local Mixmaster Dynamics in Spatially Inhomogeneous Cosmologies
Heuristic arguments and numerical simulations support the Belinskii et al
(BKL) claim that the approach to the singularity in generic gravitational
collapse is characterized by local Mixmaster dynamics (LMD). Here, one way to
identify LMD in collapsing spatially inhomogeneous cosmologies is explored. By
writing the metric of one spacetime in the standard variables of another,
signatures for LMD may be found. Such signatures for the dynamics of spatially
homogeneous Mixmaster models in the variables of U(1)-symmetric cosmologies are
reviewed. Similar constructions for U(1)-symmetric spacetimes in terms of the
dynamics of generic -symmetric spacetime are presented.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures. Contribution to CQG Special Issue "A Spacetime

A new route towards uniformly functionalized single-layer graphene
It is shown, by DFT calculations, that the uniform functionalization of upper
layer of graphite by hydrogen or fluorine does not change essentially its
bonding energy with the underlying layers, whereas the functionalization by
phenyl groups decreases the bonding energy by a factor of approximately ten.
This means that the functionalized monolayer in the latter case can be easily
separated by mild sonication. According to our computational results, such
layers can be cleaned up to pure graphene, as well as functionalized further up
to 25% coverage, without essential difficulties. The energy gap within the
interval from 0.5 to 3 eV can be obtained by such one-side funtionalization
using different chemical species.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, to appear in J. Phys. D: Applied Physic
The canonical 8-form on manifolds with holonomy group Spin(9)
An explicit expression of the canonical 8-form on a Riemannian manifold with
a Spin(9)-structure, in terms of the nine local symmetric involutions involved,
is given. The list of explicit expressions of all the canonical forms related
to Berger's list of holonomy groups is thus completed. Moreover, some results
on Spin(9)-structures as G-structures defined by a tensor and on the curvature
tensor of the Cayley planes, are obtained
