High-Throughput Single-Molecule Telomere Characterization, Jennifer Mccaffrey, Eleanor Young, Katy Lassahn, Justin Sibert, Steven Pastor, Harold Riethman, Ming Xiao

School of Medical Diagnostics & Translational Sciences Publications

We have developed a novel method that enables global subtelomere and haplotype-resolved analysis of telomere lengths at the single-molecule level. An in vitro CRISPR/Cas9 RNA-directed nickase system directs the specific labeling of human (TTAGGG) n DNA tracts in genomes that have also been barcoded using a separate nickase enzyme that recognizes a 7bp motif genome-wide. High-throughput imaging and analysis of large DNA single molecules from genomes labeled in this fashion using a nanochannel array system permits mapping through subtelomere repeat element (SRE) regions to unique chromosomal DNA while simultaneously measuring the (TTAGGG) n tract length at the end of each …

Optical Resonance Of A Three-Level System In Semiconductor Quantum Dots, Hieu Nguyen Van, Ha Nguyen Bich

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The optical resonance of a three-level system of the strongly correlated electrons in the twolevel semiconductor quantum dot interacting with the linearly polarized monochromatic electromagnetic radiation is studied. With the application of the Green function method the expressions of the state vectors and the energies of the stationary states of the system in the regime of the optical resonance are derived. The Rabi oscillations of the electron populations at different levels as well as the Rabi splitting of the peaks in the photon emission spectra are investigated.PACS numbers: 71.35.-y, 78.55.-m, 78.67.Hc

Synthesis And Characterization Of Pure-Silica- Zeolite-Beta Membrane, Fong Yeong Yin, Bhatia Subhash

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The semiconductor industry needs low dielectric constant (low k-value) materials to more advance microprocessor and chips by reducing the size of the device features. In fabricate this context, a new material with lower k value than conventional silica ( k = 3.9 - 4.2 ) is needed in order to improve the circuit performance. As per the recent International Semiconductor Technology plan, a low-k material with a k = 1.6 will be needed by 2010. The choice of the inorganic zeolite membrane is an attractive option for low k material and suitable for microprocess application. In the present study, a …

Microstructure analysis on the individual sample before and after loading was performed under scanning electron microscopy. The small particles of 2 µm in size have exhibited strong interfacial bonding with the matrix. The particles of 5 µm in size have shown fractures and debonding interface. Large particles of above 20 µm in …


Effect Of The Reciprocating Mass Of Slider-Crank Mechanism On Torsional Vibrations Of Diesel Engine Systems, Pasricha M.S. Pasricha, Hashim F.M. 2017 Universiti Brunei Darussalam

Effect Of The Reciprocating Mass Of Slider-Crank Mechanism On Torsional Vibrations Of Diesel Engine Systems, Pasricha M.S. Pasricha, Hashim F.M.

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The torsional vibration phenomenon in the running gear of reciprocating engine systems isusually dealt with by considering a series of constant inertias connected by sections of massless shafting. However in reality, a slider crank mechanism is a vibrating system with varying inertia because the effective inertia of the total oscillating mass of each crank assembly varies twice per revolution of the crankshaft. Large variations in inertia torques can give rise to the phenomenonof secondary resonance in torsional vibration of modern marine diesel engines which can not be explained by conventional theory incorporating only the mean values of the varying inertias. …

The results showed that particle contents affected to the presence oforosities and hardness of the composites. It was observed that increasing the fly ash contentincrease the porosity in the composites, with the matrix alloy reinforced with 15 wt.% of fly ash particles having the highest porosity and lowest hardness.


G-Jitter Induced Free Convection Over A Vertical Flat Plate, Saeid Nawaf H. 2017 Universiti Brunei Darussalam

G-Jitter Induced Free Convection Over A Vertical Flat Plate, Saeid Nawaf H.

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The effect of the periodic oscillation of the gravitational field, known as g-jitter, on the free convection from a vertical plate is investigated in the present paper. The problem has been simplified by the laminar boundary layer and Boussinesq approximations. The fully implicit finite-difference scheme is used to solve the dimensionless system of the governing equations.The results for laminar flow of air (Pr = 0.72) and water (Pr = 7.00) are presented for different values of the amplitudes and frequencies of the g-jitter. The results presented show the steady periodic variation of Nusselt number and the friction coefficient with the …

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The paper is an overview on an algebraic approach to domains of linguistic variables and somefirst applications to show the applicability of this new approach. In this approach, each linguistic domain can be considered as a hedge algebra (HA for short) and based on the structure of HAs,a notion of fuzziness measure of linguistic hedges and terms can be defined. In order to apply hedge algebras to those problems, the results of which are needed, a notion of semantically quantifying mappings (SQMs) will be introduced. It shown that there is a closed connection between SQMs and fuzziness measure of hedge …

Correlation Between Thermal Diffusivity Variation And Quality Of Cold Preserved Fish, Ansari F.A, Abbas K.A, Megat Ahmad M.M.H

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The present paper deals with establishment of correlation between thermal behaviour and quality of cold preserved fish. Experiments were designed and transient temperature-time variations were recorded at the center and other three equidistant locations during air blast cooling of slab shaped pieces of fresh water fish. A number of pieces from the same lot were cold preserved at 3°C for a period of 28 days and experiments were repeated daily. Time-temperature records were used to determine thermal diffusivity of each sample using the empirical approach of the first author, reported elsewhere. It was observed that the measured thermal diffusivity increased …
