Application of the Fisher Dimer Model to DNA Condensation

This paper considers the statistical mechanics occupation of the edge of a single helix of DNA by simple polymers. Using Fisher\u27s exact closed form solution for dimers on a two-dimensional lattice, a one-dimensional lattice is created mathematically that is occupied by dimers, monomers, and holes. The free energy, entropy, average occupation, and total charge on the lattice are found through the usual statistical methods. The results demonstrate the charge inversion required for a DNA helix to undergo DNA condensation

The Mountaineer\u27s Farewell

[Verse 1]I have come from the mountains of the Old Granite State ,Where the hills are so lofty, magnificent and great,I have left kindred spirits in the land of the blest,When I bade them adieu for the far distant west, O! thy mountains! O! thy vallies! in my own Native State; I have come from the mountains of the Old Granite State ,Where the hills are so lofy magnificent and great [Verse 2]O! thy hills and thy vallies are sacred all to me,No matter what in lands of others I may see,I may view scenes so sunny, so fair and so smooth,Then I\u27ll think of my cottage that stands in the grove;O! my childhood! O! that homestead! in my own Nattive StateOh thy hills and thy vallies are sacred all to meNo matter in lands of others I may see [Verse 3]When I think of the Fair who once was my pride,As she roved among the mountains so closely by my sideThen I sigh for the days that never come back,For she sleeps on the shore of the bold MerrimacO! that loved one! O! that grave-yard! in my own Native StateI will oft think of her who once was my prideAs she roved among the mountains so closely by my side [Verse 4]A mother dear I\u27ve lost, she\u27s gone to the graveShe was the dearest blessing that God ever gave,Now I go to the spot, where buried is the loved,And I seem to hear her singing with the Angles above,O! my mother! I bless her ashes, in my own Native StateA mother dear I\u27ve lost, she\u27s gone to the graveShe left her Orphan weeping, to go to God who gave

Review of George Eliot A Bibliographical History

This enormously impressive history is the fruit of something like thirty-five years of work by William Baker and John Ross. They have brought together a huge and comprehensive body of bibliographical information, broken down into five main sections and two appenctixes. There are extensive entries and notes on the major works; minor literary works (novellas and poetry); essays and reviews; miscellaneous writing (unpublished works in publishable genres, compilations of short extracts, partly authored writings, unpublished autobiographical writings); collections and collected works (more poetry, essays, novels and complete works); and \u27Eliotiana\u27 (sequels, settings for songs from The Spanish Gypsy, collections of illustrations, non-literary writings subsequently published). The indexes alone, \u27Works by George Eliot\u27 and \u27General Index\u27, run to forty-five pages. In the Introduction we learn, among other things, about editions, printings, issues and the states of issues, and how to translate a typical entry like\u27 A5.4.a 2\u27

Gravitational waves from black hole collisions via an eclectic approach

We present the first results in a new program intended to make the best use of all available technologies to provide an effective understanding of waves from inspiralling black hole binaries in time for imminent observations. In particular, we address the problem of combining the close-limit approximation describing ringing black holes and full numerical relativity, required for essentially nonlinear interactions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach using general methods for a model problem, the head-on collision of black holes. Our method allows a more direct physical understanding of these collisions indicating clearly when non-linear methods are important. The success of this method supports our expectation that this unified approach will be able to provide astrophysically relevant results for black hole binaries in time to assist gravitational wave observations.Comment: 4 pages, 3 eps figures, Revte

Discrimination of prostate cancer cells and non-malignant cells using secondary ion mass spectrometry

This communication utilises Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) combined with multivariate analysis to obtain spectra from the surfaces of three closely related cell lines allowing their discrimination based upon mass spectral ions
