We analyze the combat effectiveness and efficiency of the firearm weapon systems with stochastic simulations approach. Such combat effectiveness and efficiency are related with the precision of weapon systems, but the precision varies greatly depending ...

The C. elegans DSB-2 protein reveals a regulatory network that controls competence for meiotic DSB formation and promotes crossover assurance. [PDF]
For most organisms, chromosome segregation during meiosis relies on deliberate induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and repair of a subset of these DSBs as inter-homolog crossovers (COs).

Report on the 2013 Rapid Assessment Survey of Marine Species at New England Bays and Harbors [PDF]
Introduced species (i.e., non-native species that have become established in a new location) have increasingly been recognized as a concern as they have become more prevalent in marine and terrestrial environments (Mooney and Cleland 2001; Simberloff et ...

The impact of body armor on physical performance of law enforcement personnel: A systematic review [PDF]
Background The law enforcement officer profession requires performance of arduous occupational tasks while carrying an external load, consisting of, at minimum, a chest rig, a communication system, weaponry, handcuffs, personal protective equipment and a

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (immunophilins) and their roles in parasite biochemistry, host-parasite interaction and antiparasitic drug action. [PDF]
Immunophilin is the collective name given to the cyclophilin and FK506-binding protein (FKBP) families. As the name suggests, these include the major binding proteins of certain immunosuppressive drugs: cyclophilins for the cyclic peptide cyclosporin A ...

Hydraulic fracturing in cells and tissues: fracking meets cell biology [PDF]
The animal body is fundamentally made of water. A small fraction of this water is freely flowing in blood and lymph, but most of it is trapped in hydrogels such as the extracellular matrix (ECM), the cytoskeleton, and chromatin.

Ultrasensitive Atomic Spin Measurements with a Nonlinear Interferometer
We study nonlinear interferometry applied to a measurement of atomic spin and demonstrate a sensitivity that cannot be achieved by any linear-optical measurement with the same experimental resources.

Entanglement-enhanced probing of a delicate material system
Quantum metrology uses entanglement and other quantum effects to improve the sensitivity of demanding measurements. Probing of delicate systems demands high sensitivity from limited probe energy and has motivated the field's key benchmark-the standard ...
