Structural analysis of protein-RNA complexes is labor-intensive, yet provides insight into the interaction patterns between a protein and RNA. As the number of protein-RNA complex structures reported has increased substantially in the last few years, a systematic method is required for automatically identifying interaction patterns. This paper presents a computational analysis of the hydrogen bonds in the most representative set of protein-RNA complexes. The analysis revealed several interesting
We explore the task of improving persona consistency of dialogue agents. Recent models tackling consistency often train with additional Natural Language Inference (NLI) labels or attach trained extra modules to the generative agent for maintaining consistency. However, such additional labels and training can be demanding. Also, we find even the bestperforming persona-based agents are insensitive to contradictory words. Inspired by social cognition and pragmatics, we endow existing dialogue agent

In order to overcome the small current drivability of a tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET), we have introduced a TFET with the SiGe body and elevated Si drain region. The proposed TFET features large on-current and lower subthreshold swing (SS) compared with the Si TFET. Also, by using elevated Si drain region, it is expected that ambipolar current can be suppressed. Through the technology computer aided design (TCAD) simulation, the characteristics of the proposed TFET have been investiga
In order to overcome small current drivability of a tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET), a TFET using Schottky barrier (SBTFET) is proposed. The proposed device has a metal source region unlike the conventional TFET. In addition, dopant segregation technology between the source and channel region is applied to reduce tunneling resistance. For TFET fabrication, spacer technique is adopted to enable self-aligned process because the SBTFET consists of source and drain with different types. Als

In this study, vertical tunnel FET-based ternary CMOS (T-CMOS) is introduced and its electrical characteristics are investigated using TCAD device and mixed-mode simulations with experimentally calibrated tunneling parameters. This new T-CMOS utilizes two different types of tunneling currents to form three different output voltage states: (1) source-to-drain tunneling current; and (2) conventional source-to-channel tunneling current. To form a half supply voltage (V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3
Abstract This paper presents a digital microfluidic (DMF) platform based on a printed circuit board (PCB) for droplet mixing. Mixing droplets without a top cover plate is important for bio-chemical analysis. For this reason, a more efficient mixing method is required especially for mixing a viscous liquid droplet in an open surface. Here, to improve the performance of droplet mixing, we propose the integration of an acoustically oscillating bubble to an electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) chip,
