We present a collection of algorithms which are used to construct Hamiltonian paths
and cycles in hypercube networks with faulty nodes. In graph theoretical terms, the
hypercube is a connected, undirected graph composed of edges and nodes, or...
In March 1999, a six-month water quality survey of Wethersfield Cove was initiated to
determine the spatial and temporal patterns of water quality impairment from periodic releases of
untreated sanitary waste and storm water into the Cove. These...
The RNA molecule is responsible for providing information to the cell to assemble proteins specified by the DNA. A specific type of RNA editing can convert individual adenosines into inosine by an enzyme called adenosine deaminase acting on RNA...
Cyclin D1 is the major regulator of cell cycle --- the division of cells to copy themselves. Cyclin D1 is the product of ccnd1 gene and plays an important role in regulation of cell cycle transition from G1 phase to S phase. The cell cycles of...
