Genes Translocated into the Plastid Inverted Repeat Show Decelerated Substitution Rates and Elevated GC Content. [PDF]
Plant chloroplast genomes (plastomes) are characterized by an inverted repeat (IR) region and two larger single copy (SC) regions. Patterns of molecular evolution in the IR and SC regions differ, most notably by a reduced rate of nucleotide substitution ...

Methods of Parallel Voxel Manipulation for 3D Digital Printing [PDF]
A novel digital printing concept is explored for desktop fabrication of multimaterial objects with arbitrary 3D geometry. Digital objects are composed of many discrete, self-aligning voxels instead of continuous (analog) deposition techniques.
