Leaky Scanning02:28

Leaky Scanning

5.7K
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA.  Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype02:27

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

7.7K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Difference from Background: Limit of Detection01:05

Difference from Background: Limit of Detection

8.4K
The limit of detection (LOD) is the smallest amount of analyte that can be distinguished from the background noise. The LOD value corresponds to the concentration at which the analyte signal is three times larger than the standard deviation of the blank signal. Below this value, the analyte signal cannot be differentiated from the background noise. It is calculated by dividing the calibration slope by 3 times the standard deviation of the blank signals.
The LOD indicates the presence or absence...

Trial and Error and Algorithm01:12

Trial and Error and Algorithm

424
A problem-solving strategy is a plan of action used to find a solution. Different strategies have distinct action plans. Trial and error involves trying different solutions until one works. For instance, to fix a broken printer, you might check ink levels, ensure the paper tray isn't jammed, and verify the printer's connection to your laptop. This method can be time-consuming but is commonly used. Thomas Edison, for example, used trial and error to find a suitable filament for the light...

Endocrine Signaling01:45

Endocrine Signaling

68.2K
Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with remote target cells found in other organs. The hormone reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone but only those cells expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected. Thus, endocrine signaling induces slow responses from its target cells but these effects also last longer.

Bacterial Signaling01:30

Bacterial Signaling

40.8K
Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Spectroscopy
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Background removal is crucial for quantitative analysis in electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS).
  • Conventional methods often require spectral regions outside the feature of interest for background estimation.
  • Overlapping features and limited pre-edge regions complicate traditional background removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel signal-from-background separation method for EELS data.
  • To develop a technique that does not rely on spectral regions outside the energy-loss range of interest.
  • To improve the accuracy of multiple linear least-squares (MLLS) regression analysis in challenging EELS datasets.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed method utilizes subspace division to separate signal from background.
  • The linear space is partitioned into two subspaces: one for signal and one for background.
  • The signal is isolated from the background-dominated subspace, which is then discarded.

Main Results:

  • The subspace division method successfully separates signal from background without external regions.
  • Demonstrated effectiveness in practical applications like removing overlapping core-loss spectra and zero-loss peaks.
  • Performance is comparable or superior to conventional pre-edge power-law fitting methods.

Conclusions:

  • The subspace division method offers a robust alternative for background removal in EELS.
  • It is particularly beneficial for MLLS regression with limited or complex pre-edge data.
  • This technique enhances the reliability of quantitative analysis in EELS.
