Hidden in Plain Sight: the Nat Images of Myanmar
Supernatural beings known as ‘nats’ are widely represented in Myanmar art. Until now they have been a neglected area of research, overshadowed by an academic focus on the country’s Buddhist art and architecture. The research for this thesis analyses why the nats are depicted in particular ways, how …

Characterizing Populations of Non-Coding RNAs in <i>Karenia brevis</i> at Different Times of the Diel Cycle
… number of natural antisense transcripts (NATs) as well as double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules exist within the transcriptome of <em>K. brevis</em>. I hypothesize that the non-coding NATs, similar to microRNAs (miRNAs) in other organisms play a role in regulating gene expression. To test …

The perceptions of voice teachers regarding English pronunciation difficulty among native Chinese, Japanese and Korean students
… the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), the following research question was conducted: “What are the perceptions of voice teachers regarding English pronunciation difficulties among native Chinese, Japanese, and Korean students?” This is a convenience sample, but there is no …

Situationally driven local navigation for mobile robots
… This work introduces Navigation Templates (or NaTs) which are building blocks for the construction and maintenance of rough navigation plans which capture the relationship that objects in the world have to the current navigation task. By encoding only the critical relationship between the …

The Role of Precedent in Computational Models of Law
… language model, I find that arguments (0.38 nats) have a stronger bearing on outcomes than facts (0.18 nats). I next design a neural model of legal outcome prediction that significantly outperforms prior work. More importantly, it is also able to model negative outcomes: it can learn which …

Efficient scheduling of multi-antenna broadcast systems
… the expected rate gap converges to 1/(L - 1) nats/symbol when the total number of users K tends to infinity. Allowing L to increase with K, it; may be deduced that transmitting to a properly chosen pair of users is asymptotically optimal, while dramatically reducing the feedback overhead and …

Role of long non-coding RNAs in breast cancer progression
… including ~1000 natural antisense transcript (NATs) lncRNAs. A significant number of breast cancer-deregulated NATs displayed co-regulated expression with oncogenic and tumor suppressor protein-coding genes in cis. Further studies on one such NAT, PDCD4-AS1 lncRNA reveal that it positively …

UIA : a global connectivity architecture for mobile personal devices
… devices reliably, even while mobile, behind NATs or firewalls, or connected via isolated ad hoc networks, UIA gives each device a persistent, location-independent identity, and builds an overlay routing service atop IP to resolve and route among these identities. Finally, to support today's …

Impacts of Sequential Microbial Electron Accepting Processes on Natural Attenuation of Selected Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the Subsurface Environment
… Results from the calibrated model for the NATS experiment indicated that the majority of the contaminant remained in the non-aqueous phase during the first year of the experiment, and that aerobic biodegradation was the dominant natural attenuation process. Model results were particularly …

LncRNA and circRNA expression profiles in tissues and serum exosomes of colorectal cancer patients and cell lines
… CRC tissues compared to normal adjacent tissues (NATs), and in serum exosomes of 20 CRC patients compared to 20 healthy individuals. We identified 8 ncRNAs (CCAT1, CCAT2, CDR1AS, HOTAIR, MALAT1, TUG1, UCA1 and ZEB2AS1) differentially expressed (DE) in tissues and 3 ncRNAs (circ16, TUG1 and UCA1) …

A importância de remanescentes de Mata Atlântica na ocorrência dos Muriquis (Brachyteles hypoxanthus E. Geoffroy) no Estado do Espírito Santo
… de estudo. O Índice de Shannon foi de 5,16 nats por indivíduo e a área basal acumulou 40,6 m2/ha., um contexto relacionado ao elevado estado de desenvolvimento da floresta, uma situação de floresta primária no local, mesmo apresentando dossel descontínuo, corte seletivo e fortes perturbações …

Statistical modelling of performance data for molecular amplification methods in diagnostic virology
… available from traditional techniques. However, NATs are technically demanding, susceptible to contamination and hence results from associated diagnostic tests may be inaccurate. External Quality Assessment (EQA) services are programmes developed to assess and advance the quality performance of …
