Quark-gluon vertex in general kinematics

The original publication can be found at www.springerlink.com Submitted to Cornell University’s online archive www.arXiv.org in 2007 by Jon-Ivar Skullerud. Post-print sourced from www.arxiv.org.We compute the quark–gluon vertex in quenched lattice QCD in the Landau gauge, using an off-shell mean-field O(a)-improved fermion action. The Dirac-vector part of the vertex is computed for arbitrary kinematics. We find a substantial infrared enhancement of the interaction strength regardless of the kinematics.Ayse Kizilersu, Derek B.

MiRNA expression plots and predicted secondary structures.

<p>Different colours in the plot correspond to different tissues as described in C). Green and purple-labelled bases in the hairpin figure indicate the most abundant read mapping to the 5' and 3' ends; conserved miRNA cfa-miR-371 (A) appears to be absent in heart and shows variable expression levels in the other tissues.

Workflow for the generation of miRNA expression profiles and secondary structures.

<p>Small RNA reads are first mapped (A) to the hairpin sequences, looking for two peak alignment patterns as shown in B (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0153453#pone.0153453.s004" target="_blank">S4</a> and <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0153453#pone.0153453.s005" target="_blank">S5</a> Figs). Expression levels across each hairpin (B) and secondary structures (C) are then derived (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0153453#pone.0153453.s006" target="_blank">S6</a> and <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0153453#pone.0153453.s007" target="_blank">S7</a> Figs).</p

Human promoter CTAG1A and modified constructs.

<p>(<b>a</b>) The 535 base pair long promoter region of human gene CTAG1A is rich in CpGs and exhibits α-scores higher than the genomic distribution with pronounced peaks. Shown are the composite α_k-scores (top), the individual α_k-scores for different sizes of <i>k</i> in the middle graph (colour coded, blue = negative, red/orange = positive), and CpGs in yellow (bottom). The three strongest regions are marked by red bars. (<b>b</b>) In-vitro activity of the original CTAG1A promoter (hCTAG1A Promoter), the three strongest α-score regions deleted (hCTAG1A delta), the three strongest α-score regions replaced with sequences from the genomic concatomer (hCTAG1A replace), and the three strongest α-score regions replaced with sequences from the promoter-like concatomer (hCTAG1A UP). Also shown are results without any promoter (Negative CO) and the SV40 core promoter (SV40 Promoter AVG).</p
