Challenges in homology search: HMMER3 and convergent evolution of coiled-coil regions [PDF]
Detection of protein homology via sequence similarity has important applications in biology, from protein structure and function prediction to reconstruction of phylogenies. Although current methods for aligning protein sequences are powerful, challenges remain, including problems with homologous overextension of alignments and with regions under ...

The video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) detects vertical semicircular canal dysfunction. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a useful clinical tool to detect semicircular canal dysfunction. However vHIT has hitherto been limited to measurement of horizontal canals, while scleral search coils have been the only accepted method ...

A calibration facility for search coil magnetometers [PDF]
A calibration facility for search coil magnetometers (SCMs) has been built at Niemegk Geomagnetic Observatory, GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam. I describe here the commissioning of this facility. The usable frequency range of 10 mHz-100 kHz enables calibration of all standard types of SCM.

Development of a magnetic field measurement system using a tri-axial search coil [PDF]
In order to measure the magnetic field noise around electric devices, we developed a measurement system using a triaxial search coil. The crosstalk of the orthogonal search coils is less than -40 dB between the tri-axial search coil sensors. The measured

A novel functional magnetic resonance imaging compatible search-coil eye-tracking system [PDF]
Measuring eye movements (EMs) using the search-coil eye-tracking technique is superior to video-based infrared methods [Collewijn H, van der Mark F, Jansen TC. Precise recording of human eye movements. Vision Res 1975;15(3):447-50], which suffer from the

Prostate MRI: Is Endorectal Coil Necessary?—A Review
To assess the necessity of endorectal coil use in 3 Tesla (T) prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a literature review comparing the image quality and diagnostic performance with an endorectal coil (ERC) and a without endorectal coil (NERC), with a

Stator Winding Fault Detection Using External Search Coil and Artificial Neural Network [PDF]
This paper presents a methodology for winding stator fault detection of induction motors, using an external search coil, which is a noninvasive technique and can be applied during motor operation.

Effects of Scleral Search Coil Wear on Visual Function [PDF]
The scleral search coil is widely regarded as the gold standard measurement technique for eye movements. The effect of wearing scleral search coils on human vision has not been systematically studied. However, there are anecdotal reports of degraded visual acuity, mild eye irritation, and an increase rise in intraocular pressure (IOP).

Design and analysis of peptide based nanoparticles [PDF]
Viruses are naturally formed bionanoparticles (BNPs), ranging in size from 22-150 nm. Remarkably, small viruses are composed of one single protein chain folding into a capsid structure with icosahedral symmetry.

A Low-cost Electromagnetic Docking Guidance System for Micro Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
As important observational platforms for the Smart Ocean concept, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that perform long-term observation in fleets are beneficial because they provide large-scale sampling data with a sufficient spatiotemporal resolution.
