Kissing the Archimedeans
<p>In this paper the three dimensional kissing problem will be related to the Platonic and Archimedean solids. On each polyhedra presented their vertices will have spheres expanding such that the center of each of these outer spheres are the vertices of the polyhedron, and these outer spheres will …

A Riemann-Hilbert Approach to the Kissing Polynomials
… studies a family of polynomials known as the Kissing Polynomials through Riemann-Hilbert techniques. The Kissing Polynomials are a family of non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials, which are orthogonal with respect to the complex weight function $\exp(i\omega z)$ over the interval $[-1,1]$, …

Kh Domains on Brain Polyribosomes: FMRP and Nova in Translational Regulation
… of FMRP bind specific RNA motifs that form kissing complex and G-quartet structures, respectively. We find that the association of FMRP with polyribosomes in both mouse brain and human neuroblastoma cells is abrogated by competition with kissing complex RNA, but not by high-affinity …

Hiv-1 Rna Dimerization At Single Molecule Level
… in genome dimerization through formation of a "kissing complex" intermediate between two homologous DIS sequences. This bimolecular kissing complex ultimately leads to the formation of an extended RNA duplex. Understanding the kinetics of this interaction is key to exploiting DIS as a possible …

BOND STRENGTH EVALUATION IN ADHESIVE JOINTS USING NDE AND DIC METHODS
… formation of interfacial defects such as kissing or weak bonds in the bondline interface. Also, there are shortcomings of existing non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods to non-destructively detect/characterize these interfacial defects and reliably predicting the bond shear strength. As …

Laser-assisted single-molecule refolding
… experiments. </p> <p>HIV 1 DIS RNAs form a kissing complex in the loop region and proceed to the extended duplex structure with the help of enzymes or other cofactors in the later stage of viral replication. The kissing complex itself is very stable, which makes it a unique optimal model …

Blood Vessel Segmentation and shape analysis for quantification of Coronary Artery Stenosis in CT Angiography
… being trapped in local minima. To suppress kissing vessel artifacts, a slice-by-slice correction scheme, based on multiple regions competition, is proposed to identify and track the kissing vessels throughout the transaxial images of the CTA data. Based on the resulting segmentation, we then …

Perceptions of the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse
… (i.e. sexual invitations or sexual hugging/kissing). Regression analyses indicated that CSA survivors did not differ in their perceptions of a character's level of assertiveness, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships compared to non-CSA individuals when reading a vignette. Further, …

Mapping the link between female sexual desires and behaviors in heterosexual dating relationships
… and both less intimate (hugging/cuddling and kissing) and more intimate (sexual touching and intercourse) sexual behaviors tended to predict higher levels of closeness, higher levels of positive affect and lower levels of negative affect towards one's partner on a daily basis. Furthermore, on …

A feasibility study of the acousto-ultrasonic technique to assure the quality of adhesively bonded sheet metal
… the properties of the interface. Regions having kissing bonds or regions lacking adhesive were easily identified by this technique. These regions contribute to the mixed mode failure. A bond quality (BQ) model is suggested to take into account the mixed mode failure. Destructive testing results …

The analysis of a conserved RNA structure in the 3D polymerase encoding region of Human Parechovirus 1
… up of three stem-loops and a tertiary structure “kissing” interaction. The structure was validated by comparing all the available HPeV sequences and found to be highly conserved. To investigate if the structure has a role in RNA stability, an EGFP fluorescent assay was used. Sequences containing …
