Reading the tea leaves: Dead transposon copies reveal novel host and transposon biology. by Richard N McLaughlin

“…These spliced LINE-1s (i.e., spliced integrated retrotransposed elements [SpiREs]) lose their ability to replicate, suggesting they are evolutionary dead ends. However, the lethality of this splicing could be an efficient means of blocking continued replication of LINE-1. …”

Structure and stability of the Indian power transmission network by Vedang Tamhane, G Ambika

“…We construct an equivalent model of an exponential network and study its structural changes with changes in two parameters related to redundancy and dead-ends. Then we analyze its stability against cascading failures by varying these two parameters using the link failure model. …”

A Computational Approach to Overtaking Station Track Layout Design Using Graphs: An Extension That Supports Special Turnouts—An Improved Alternative Track Layout Proposal by Eugenio Roanes-Lozano

“…It uses a trick consisting in including virtual vertices in the associated digraph that are dead ends. This way it is possible to include the “special” turnouts in the track layout. …”

Legitimate Peripheral Participation as a Framework for Conversation Analytic Work in Second Language Learning by Gitte Rasmussen Hougaard

“…CA is often resorted to as the key to resolving knots and dead-ends in these neighboring disciplines. Despite the very interesting results that such work admittedly produces, it is too often not accompanied by focused considerations of how the specific concerns from one field match with the aims that CA procedures have been developed for and hence with the procedures themselves. …”

Phylodynamics of the emergence of influenza viruses after cross-species transmission. by Leila Rahnama, Stéphane Aris-Brosou

“…Generally these sporadic events are evolutionary dead-ends, but occasionally, viruses establish themselves in a new host that offers a novel genomic context to which the virus must adjust to avoid attenuation. …”

Inner Experience and Worldly Revolt: Arendt’s Bearings on Kristeva’s Project by Noëlle McAfee

“…Is the only answer to social and political dead ends really found by turning inward? Is the micropolitics of the couch the path to freedom? …”

Between Pleasure and Resistance: The Role of Substance Consumption in an Italian Working-Class Subculture by Matteo Di Placido

“…I discuss how these apparently contrasting lines of inquiry, when jointly used, shed light on different aspects of the cultural practices of specific subcultures contributing to reflect on the study of youth cultures and subcultures in today’s society and overcoming some of the ‘dead ends’ of the opposition between the scholarly categories of subculture and post-subculture. …”

L’expérience scolaire des enfants de réfugiés syriens au cours de l’exil : du transit à la réinstallation by Liyun Wan

“…The obstacles posed by accumulated delays, the language and the contents taught sometimes lead to dead ends. Despite the difficulties, families are also actors who mobilize different resources to ensure that their children continue their education. …”

Corps sensible, environnement urbain moderniste by Françoise Michel-Jones

“…In it, he confronts his character Hulot with a transitionless shift from the familiar conventions of a historic capital (Paris), which make it possible to stroll peacefully, to the exhausting and deceptive signage and plastic and formal components of a big city that makes for a world in itself, with no space or time outside the frame: a city that asserts the international, modernist version of a city rather than its modern version, being ubiquitous and timeless, devoted to accelerated communication, circulation and consumption.Lost in a disappointing “quest” with multiplying loops and dead-ends, Hulot often appears to be dissolving—shadowless body—at the whim of avatars, doubles and reflections, despite the virtues of transparency and communication, considered to be linked with the “new” architectural and urban environment. …”

Catastrophe risk can accelerate unlikely evolutionary transitions by Snyder-Beattie, A, Bonsall, MB

“…Introducing catastrophes or evolutionary dead ends can create situations in which critical steps occur rapidly or in clusters, suggesting that past estimates of the number of critical steps could be underestimated. …”

Progressive Content Generation Based on Cyclic Graph for Generate Dungeon by Muhammad Anshar, Raden Sumiharto, Moh Edi Wibowo

“…This research aims to build dungeon that has not linear and minimal dead ends. To eliminate linearity in dungeons, branching in dungeons needs to be formed. …”

From Many Hosts, One Accidental Pathogen: The Diverse Protozoan Hosts of Legionella by David K. Boamah, Guangqi Zhou, Alexander W. Ensminger, Alexander W. Ensminger, Alexander W. Ensminger, Tamara J. O'Connor

“…Thus, from the pathogen's perspective, interactions with human cells are accidents of time and space—evolutionary dead ends with no impact on Legionella's long-term survival or pathogenic trajectory. …”

A road network simplification algorithm that preserves topological properties by Jinyoung Pung, Raissa M. D’Souza, Dipak Ghosal, Michael Zhang

“…Our method iteratively identifies and removes network elements that do not contribute to transportation functionality, such as self-loops, dead-ends, and interstitial nodes that lies on the same road line. …”

Camera placement optimization for CCTV in rail transit using BIM by Zhengyuan Xie, Xia Liu, Yazhuo Li, Hong Zhang, Qing Xiang

“…In many cities, the need for station video surveillance with “complete coverage without dead ends” has been high. The traditional layout scheme based on design experience estimates often results in large blind spots and low efficiency in monitoring. …”

Dynamics of an Invincible Troop Formation in Ancient Open Battlefields by Kishore Dutta

“…The fact that relative spinning motion has adverse psychological impact in diminishing mental power, seems to be the foremost principle behind the design of its dynamics that slowly push on an invading warrior towards one of the dead-ends that are created by restructuring the Chakra out of nearly infinite possible ways.…”

Performance degradation of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell with dual ejector-based recirculation by Liu, Yang, Xiao, Biao, Zhao, Junjie, Fan, Lixin, Luo, Xiaobing, Tu, Zhengkai, Chan, Siew Hwa

“…The results indicated that the fuel cell with Nafion® 212 operating in the dual ejector-based recirculation mode has a better performance than that operating in the dead-ended mode, with total electrochemical surface area (ECSA) degradation rates of 10.61% and 17.02%, respectively. …”

Research and application of multi-beam antenna technology for home network based on SSPP technology by Shengbing SHI, Jinjin SHAO, Cao SHI

“…High-quality home wireless network with large bandwidth, wide coverage, low latency and anti-interference is the key indicator to ensure user experience of fiber to the room (FTTR) Gigabit optical network.Traditional home network equipment mainly adopts single-beam single-polarized antenna design, which has become increasingly unable to meet the needs of high-quality network products under the background of large attenuation and strong interference.Antenna, as an indispensable component to realize conduction energy and air-interface electromagnetic wave transformation, can realize multiple functions by using its design freedom.High gain can reduce the power consumption of the radio frequency (RF) side to achieve the purpose of energy saving, and multi-beam can maintain high-performance network coverage without dead ends.Therefore, designing a multi-beam antenna with small size, high gain and flexible usage is of great value.Following the practical engineering and current academic research, a multi-beam antenna based on spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) technology, covering the 5.1～5.9 GHz frequency band of Wi-Fi, was designed for home network products.Compared with traditional antennas, the test results of the antenna based on SPSS technology show that the coverage performance of the network in weak signal scenarios such as through-wall and cross-layer scenarios is improved greatly.It has great application prospects in increasingly miniaturized home terminal products.…”
