Variations on a theme: Clifford’s parallelism in elliptic space

In 1873, W. K. Clifford introduced a notion of parallelism in the three-dimensional elliptic space that, quite surprisingly, exhibits almost all properties of Euclidean parallelism in ordinary space. The purpose of this paper is to describe the genesis of this notion in Clifford’s works and to provide a historical analysis of its reception in the investigations of F. Klein, L. Bianchi, G. Fubini, and E. Bortolotti. Special emphasis is placed upon the important role that Clifford’s parallelism played in the development of the theory of connections.

Whole genome sequencing as a means to assess pathogenic mutations in medical genetics and cancer

The past decade has seen the emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, which have revolutionized the field of human molecular genetics. With NGS, significant portions of the human genome can now be assessed by direct sequence analysis, highlighting normal and pathological variants of our DNA. Recent advances have also allowed the sequencing of complete genomes, by a method referred to as whole genome sequencing (WGS). In this work, we review the use of WGS in medical genetics, with specific emphasis on the benefits and the disadvantages of this technique for detecting genomic alterations leading to Mendelian human diseases and to cancer.     

C60偶联多孔硅系统的蓝光发射

用G60作为表面钝化剂，与多孔硅进行偶联．发现当C60偶联多孔硅系统在空气中存储一年后，能够发射460nm左右的强烈蓝光．经过系统的测量和分析，认为蓝光起源的发光中心与SiO2体材料中的“自捕获激子”模型类似．它是由一个氧空位和一个间隙氧组成的，间隙氧同时和相邻的晶格氧形成过氧连接．光激发载流子来自于Si纳米晶粒的核心，辐射复合过程则在多孔硅表面的发光中心进行．进一步的电子束辐照和臭氧辐照实验证明了这个发光中心的存在．从FTIR谱的分析，推测是样品表面Si=O双键的缓慢变化促使了蓝光中心的自发产生．     

ON THE COLLISION DETECTION PROBLEM OF TWO MOVING OBJECTS DESCRIBED BY ALGEBRAIC SETS

In this paper, the collision problem of two moving objects is investigated. The objects are described by two algebraic sets （ellipses or circles in the paper）. The collision problem discussed involves both static and dynamic case. The static case is that each object moves with known velocity. We use nonlinear programming to decide whether the objects collide. The dynamic case is that each object is controlled by a constraint external force which can be regulated online. For the dynamic case, the collision problem can be modelled as a Minmax problem which can be solved by using differential games. If collision occurs, the time and place of the first collision are given. The moving trajectories are provided in the paper.     

Structure of astacin and implications for activation of astacins and zinc-ligation of collagenases.

Astacin, a digestive zinc-endopeptidase from the crayfish Astacus astacus L., is the prototype for the 'astacin family', which includes mammalian metallo-endopeptidases and developmentally regulated proteins of man, fruitfly, frog and sea urchin. Here we report the X-ray crystal structure of astacin, which reveals a deep active-site cleft, with the zinc at its bottom ligated by three histidines, a water molecule and a more remote tyrosine. The third histidine (His 102) forms part of a consensus sequence, shared not only by the members of the astacin family, but also by otherwise sequentially unrelated proteinases, such as vertebrate collagenases. It may therefore represent the elusive 'third' zinc ligand in these enzymes. The amino terminus of astacin is buried forming an internal salt-bridge with Glu 103, adjacent to His 102. Astacin pro-forms extended at the N terminus, as observed for some 'latent' mammalian astacin homologues, did not exhibit this 'active' conformation, indicating an activation mechanism reminiscent of trypsin-like serine proteinases.

Resource Search in Unstructured Peer-to-Peer System Based on Multiple-Tree Overlay Structure

We propose a multiple-tree overlay structure for resource discovery in unstructured P2P systems. Peers that have similar interests or hold similar type of resources will be grouped into a tree-like cluster. We exploit the heterogeneity of peers in each cluster by connecting peers with more capacities closer to the root of the tree. The capacity of a peer can be defined in different ways （e.g. higher network bandwidth, larger disk space, more data items of a certain type etc.） according to different needs of users or applications.
