Evolutionary route to diploidy and sex
(National Academy of Sciences, 2001-11-20)By using a bit-string model of evolution, we find a successful route to diploidy and sex in simple organisms. Allowing the sexually reproducing diploid individuals to also perform mitosis, as they do in a haploid-diploid ... -
Strategies for the evolution of sex
(American Physical Soc, One Physics Ellipse, 2001-12)We find that the hypothesis made by Jan, Stauffer, and Moseley [Theory Biosci. 119, 166 (2000)] for the evolution of sex, namely, a strategy devised to escape extinction due to too many deleterious mutations, is sufficient ... -
Computational model of the ventricular action potential in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats
(2003-09-01)Introduction: Cardiac hypertrophy has substantial clinical significance because many hypertrophic cells have markedly prolonged repolarization behavior, which may lead to increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias. Spontaneously ... -

Coherent-array imaging using phased subarrays. Part I: Basic principles
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2005-01)The front-end hardware complexity of a coherent array imaging system scales with the number of active array elements that are simultaneously used for transmission or reception of signals. Different imaging methods use ... -
Photon transmission study on conformational ordering of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2005-06)Coil-to-double helix (c-h) and double helix-to-dimer (h-d) phase transitions of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution upon cooling were studied using photon transmission technique. Photon transmission intensity, I-iota r was ... -
Film formation from pure and mixed latices; transient fluorescence study
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2005-11-15)A fast transient fluorescence technique was used to study latex film formation induced by organic solvent vapor. Mixtures of pyrene (P)- and naphthalene (N)-labeled and/or pure naphthalene-labeled latex films were prepared ... -
Design of a front-end integrated circuit for 3D acoustic imaging using 2D CMUT arrays
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2005-12)Integration of front-end electronics with 2D capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays has been a challenging issue due to the small element size and large channel count. We present design and verification ... -
Annular-ring CMUT arrays for forward-looking IVUS: Transducer characterization and imaging
(IEEE, 2006-02)In this study, a 64-element, 1.15-mm diameter annular-ring capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array was characterized and used for forward-looking intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging tests. The array ... -
Size-dependent self-organization of colloidal particles on chemically patterned surfaces
