Disordered Patterns in Clustered Protein Data Bank and in Eukaryotic and Bacterial Proteomes
We have constructed the clustered Protein Data Bank and obtained clusters of chains of different identity inside each cluster, http://bioinfo.protres.ru/st_pdb/. We have compiled the largest database of disordered patterns (141) from the clustered PDB where identity between chains inside of a cluster is larger or equal to 75% (version of 28 June 2010) by using simple rules of selection. The results of these analyses would help to further our understanding of the physicochemical and structural determinants of intrinsically disordered regions that serve as molecular recognition elements. We have analyzed the occurrence of the selected patterns in 97 eukaryotic and in 26 bacterial proteomes. The disordered patterns appear more often in eukaryotic than in bacterial proteomes. The matrix of correlation coefficients between numbers of proteins where a disordered pattern from the library of 141 disordered patterns appears at least once in 9 kingdoms of eukaryota and 5 phyla of bacteria have been calculated. As a rule, the correlation coefficients are higher inside of the considered kingdom than between them. The patterns with the frequent occurrence in proteomes have low complexity (PPPPP, GGGGG, EEEED, HHHH, KKKKK, SSTSS, QQQQQP), and the type of patterns vary across different proteomes, http://bioinfo.protres.ru/fp/search_new_pattern.html
Effect of Structure and Texture on Failure of Pipe Steel Sheets produced by TMCP
The method of orientation microscopy (EBSD) is used to study the structure and texture of low-carbon, low-alloy pipe steel sheets processed by controlled thermomechanical processing (TMCP). The temperatures of isothermal hot rolling varied. Samples cut from sheets showed a different fracture tendency during mechanical testing. The formation of cleavages (secondary cracks) during failure of steel is related to the presence of ferrite grains with orientation {001} <110> extended in the hot rolling direction. The formation of grains is a consequence of the isothermal hot rolling below the temperature
The features of steel surface hardening with high energy heating by high frequency currents and shower cooling
The paper examines the process of surface hardening of steel 45 with the help of high energy heating by high frequency currents with simultaneous shower water cooling. We theoretically justified and experimentally proved a possibility of liquid phase forming in the course of heating not on the surface, but in the depth of the surface layer
Neutrino spin rotation in dense matter and electromagnetic field
Exact solutions of the Dirac--Pauli equation for massive neutrino with
anomalous magnetic moment interacting with dense matter and strong
electromagnetic field are found. The complete system of neutrino wavefunctions,
which show spin rotation properties are obtained and their possible
applications are discussed.Comment: 11 pages, latex, misprints are correcte
Practical analytical solutions for benchmarking of 2-D and 3-D geodynamic Stokes problems with variable viscosity
Geodynamic modeling is often related with challenging computations
involving solution of the Stokes and continuity equations under
the condition of highly variable viscosity. Based on a new analytical
approach we have developed particular analytical solutions for 2-D and
3-D incompressible Stokes flows with both linearly and exponentially
variable viscosity. We demonstrate how these particular solutions
can be converted into 2-D and 3-D test problems suitable for
benchmarking numerical codes aimed at modeling various mantle
convection and lithospheric dynamics problems. The Main advantage of
this new generalized approach is that a large variety of benchmark
solutions can be generated, including relatively complex cases with
open model boundaries, non-vertical gravity and variable gradients
of the viscosity and density fields, which are not parallel to the Cartesian
axes. Examples of respective 2-D and 3-D MatLab codes are provided
with this paper
Test of an LED Monitoring System for the PHOS Spectrometer
Preprint submitted to Elsevier Print on 26th January 2000A prototype monitoring system for the Photon Spectrometer (PHOS) of the ALICE experiment at LHC is described in detail. The prototype consists of Control and Master modules. The first one is 8x8 matrix of Light Emitting Diodes coupled with stable generators of current pulses. The system provides an individual control for each of the 64 channels of PHOS prototype based on lead-tungstate crystals. A long term stability of order of 10-3 has been achieved in integral beam tests of the monitoring system and PHOS prototypes
