in silico

Examples of in silico in the following topics:

• Annotating Genomes

  • The genome sequence of an organism includes the collective DNA sequences of each chromosome in the organism.
  • Ideally, these approaches co-exist and complement each other in the same annotation pipeline (process).
  • These steps may involve both biological experiments and in silico analysis.
  • Scientists are still at an early stage in the process of delineating this parts list and in understanding how all the parts "fit together. "
  • The annotation of an entire genome would entail a similar in depth analysis of thousand even millions of such DNA sequences.

• Combinations of Capacitors: Series and Parallel

  • Like any other form of electrical circuitry device, capacitors can be used in combination in circuits.
  • These combinations can be in series (in which multiple capacitors can be found along the same path of wire) and in parallel (in which multiple capacitors can be found along different paths of wire).
  • It is possible for a circuit to contain capacitors that are both in series and in parallel.
  • The circuit shown in (a) contains C1 and C2 in series.
  • Calculate the total capacitance for the capacitors connected in series and in parallel

• Fourth Declension

  • Nouns in -us, particularly in early Latin, often form the Genitive Singular in -ī, following the analogy of nouns in -us of the Second Declension; as, senātī, ōrnātī.
  • This is usually the case in Plautus and Terence.
  • Nouns in -us sometimes have -ū in the Dative Singular, instead of -uī; as, frūctū (for frūctuī).
  • The ending -ubus, instead of -ibus, occurs in the Dative and Ablative Plural of artūs (Plural), limbs; tribus, tribe; and in dis-syllables in -cus; as, artubus, tribubus, arcubus, lacubus.
  • But with the exception of tribus, all these words admit the forms in -ibus as well as those in -ubus.

• Reasons for and Consequences of Shifts in the Aggregate Demand Curve

  • An increase in any of the four inputs into AD will result in higher real output or an increase in prices.
  • For example, an increase in total expenditures will result in a shift rightwards, while a decrease in expenditure will result in a shift to the left.
  • For the purpose of this discussion, the key consequences to keep in mind are changes in output and price.
  • An exogenous increase in purchases of the country's exports by people in other countries; and
  • To put simply, the lower the utilization of available resources in a system, the more an increase in AD will result in higher output and thus higher employment and GDP growth.

• Statistical Trends in Divorce

  • In 2009 in the United States, 2.9% of adults 35–39 without a college degree were divorced, compared with 1.6% with a college education.
  • Data indicates that marriages have lasted longer in the 21st century than they did in the 1990's.
  • In 1975, 71.4% of the cases were filed by women, and in 1988, 65% were filed by women.
  • In Australia, nearly every third marriage ends in divorce.
  • After reaching a peak divorce rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents in 2001, the Australian rate declined to 2.3 per 1,000 in 2007.

• The Growth of the Cotton Industry

  • Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793 resulted in massive growth in the cotton industry in the American South.
  • In the antebellum era—that is, in the years before the Civil War—American planters in the South continued to grow Chesapeake tobacco and Carolina rice as they had in the colonial era.
  • A demand for it already existed in the industrial textile mills in Great Britain, and in time, a steady stream of slave-grown American cotton would also supply northern textile mills.
  • The number of slaves rose in concert with the increase in cotton production, increasing from approximately 700,000 in 1790 to roughly 3.2 million in 1850.
  • This image depicts the site of a slave market in Atlanta in 1864.

• Second Declension

  • So also in the Accusative.
  • The following nouns in -er are declined like puer: adulter, adulterer; gener, son-in-law; Līber, Bacchus; socer, father-in-law; vesper, evening; and compounds in -fer and -ger, as signifer, armiger.
  • Nouns ending in the Nominative Singular in -vus, -vum, -quus, exhibited two types of inflection in the classical Latin,—an earlier and a later,—as follows:—
  • Nouns in -ajus, -ejus form the Gen. in -aī, -eī, as Pompejus, Pompeī.
  • Nouns in -os sometimes form the Accusative Singular in -um instead of -on; as, Dēlum, Delos.

• Hormones of the Digestive System

  • There are five main hormones that aid in regulation of the digestive system in mammals.
  • Secretin is in the duodenum and signals the secretion of sodium bicarbonate in the pancreas and it stimulates the bile secretion in the liver.
  • Cholecystokinin (CCK) is in the duodenum and stimulates the release of digestive enzymes in the pancreas and stimulates the emptying of bile in the gall bladder.
  • This hormone is secreted in response to fat in chyme.
  • Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) is in the duodenum and decreases the stomach churning in turn slowing the emptying in the stomach.

• Biography - Malcolm Knowles

  • Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 - 1997) was a great leader in U.S. adult education in the twentieth century.
  • Malcolm Shepherd Knowles was born August 24, 1913, in Livingston, Montana and grew up in Florida in the 1920s.
  • In his youth, he participated in the Boy Scouts in which he won the Boy Scout national contest for earning the most badges in a year.
  • Knowles earned a full scholarship to Harvard University in 1930 where he finished his bachelor's degree in 1934.
  • He became interested in adult education while working as Director of the YMCA in Boston and continued with the YMCA organization in Detroit and then Chicago through 1951.

• SOUNDS OF LETTERS

  • ā as in father; ă as in the first syllable ahá; ē as in they; ĕ as in met; ī as in machine; ĭ as in pin; ō as in note; ŏ as in obey, melody; ū as in rude; ŭ as in put; y like French u, German ü.
  • ae like ai in aisle; oe like oi in oil; ei as in rein; au like ow in how; eu with its two elements, ĕ and ŭ, pronounced in rapid succession; ui occurs almost exclusively in cui and huic.
  • g always as in get; when ngu precedes a vowel, gu has the sound of gw, as in anguis, languidus.
  • s always voiceless as in sin; in suādeō, suāvis, suēscō, and in compounds and derivatives of these words, su has the sound of sw.
  • z uncertain in sound; possibly like Eng. zd, possibly like z.
