A Novel Sequence-Based Feature for the Identification of DNA-Binding Sites in Proteins Using Jensen–Shannon Divergence

  • Truong Khanh Linh Dang,
  • Cornelia Meckbach,
  • Rebecca Tacke,
  • Stephan Waack and
  • Mehmet Gültas

24 October 2016

The knowledge of protein-DNA interactions is essential to fully understand the molecular activities of life. Many research groups have developed various tools which are either structure- or sequence-based approaches to predict the DNA-binding residue...

  • Jing Wang and
  • Lianfen Huang

20 October 2016

Ultra dense networks (UDN) are identified as one of the key enablers for 5G, since they can provide an ultra high spectral reuse factor exploiting proximal transmissions. By densifying the network infrastructure equipment, it is highly possible that...

Non-Asymptotic Confidence Sets for Circular Means

  • Thomas Hotz,
  • Florian Kelma and
  • Johannes Wieditz

20 October 2016

The mean of data on the unit circle is defined as the minimizer of the average squared Euclidean distance to the data. Based on Hoeffding’s mass concentration inequalities, non-asymptotic confidence sets for circular means are constructed which are u...

Isothermal Oxidation of Aluminized Coatings on High-Entropy Alloys

  • Che-Wei Tsai,
  • Kuen-Cheng Sung,
  • Kzauki Kasai and
  • Hideyuki Murakami

20 October 2016

The isothermal oxidation resistance of Al0.2Co1.5CrFeNi1.5Ti0.3 high-entropy alloy is analyzed and the microstructural evolution of the oxide layer is studied. The limited aluminum, about 3.6 at %, leads to the non-continuous alumina. The present all...

Silicon nanowires (SiNW) are quasi-one-dimensional structures in which the electrons are spatially confined in two directions, and they are free to move along the axis of the wire. The spatial confinement is governed by the Schrödinger–Poisson system...

Chemical Reactions Using a Non-Equilibrium Wigner Function Approach

  • Ramón F. Álvarez-Estrada and
  • Gabriel F. Calvo

19 October 2016

A three-dimensional model of binary chemical reactions is studied. We consider an ab initio quantum two-particle system subjected to an attractive interaction potential and to a heat bath at thermal equilibrium at absolute temperature T > 0...
