Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…In order to provide theoretical foundations for the analysis of NMR spectral responses of ZαADAR1 to ribosomes we attempted to extend the conventional NMR relaxation theory to include a semi solid-state treatment of nuclear spin dynamics in large complexes. The main challenge to the classical NMR theory arises when one of the binding partners is so large that in the chemical shift time scale of solution NMR (milliseconds) it can be considered as practically static or solid-state-like. …”

Further studies of extreme learning machine and compressed signal detection by Cao, Jiuwen

“…We first propose a composite function wavelet neural network (WNN) learning with the recent ELM algorithm in Chapter 2. The main contributions of the proposed WNN comparing with traditional ones are using composite functions at the hidden nodes and applying ELM algorithm to WNN as a learning algorithm. …”
