In Drosophila, post-transcriptional gene silencing occurs when exogenous or endogenous double stranded RNA (dsRNA) is processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by Dicer-2 (Dcr-2) in association with a dsRNA-binding protein (dsRBP) cofactor called Loquacious (Loqs-PD).siRNAs are then loaded onto Argonaute-2 (Ago2) by the action of Dcr-2 with an
Tools from the field of graph signal processing, in particular the graph Laplacian operator, have recently been successfully applied to the investigation of structure-function relationships in the human brain.The eigenvectors of the human connectome graph Laplacian, dubbed "connectome harmonics", have been shown to relate to the functionally releva
In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving i-voting system based on the baby silicone mold public Stellar Blockchain network.We argue that the proposed system satisfies all requirements stated for a robust i-voting system including transparency, verifiability, and voter anonymity.The practical architecture of the system abstracts a voter from b
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system with relevance feedback, which uses the algorithm for feature-vector (FV) dimension reduction, is described.Feature-vector reduction (FVR) exploits the clustering of FV components for a given query.Clustering is based on the comparison of magnitudes of FV components of a query.Instead of all FV components
IntroductionThe dominance behavioral system, a fundamental aspect of human behavior, orchestrates the drive for dominance, regulates dominant-subordinate dynamics, and shapes responses to perceived power dynamics.While the existing literature extensively delves into the components of this system, scant attention is paid to its interplay with mental
