Unzipping of DNA with correlated base-sequence (2004)

Allahverdyan, A. E., Gevorkian, Zh. S., Hu, Chin-Kun, Wu, Ming-Chya

We consider force-induced unzipping transition for a heterogeneous DNA model with a correlated base-sequence. Both finite-range and long-range correlated situations are considered. It is shown that...

Universal Finite-size Scaling Functions with Exact Non-universal Metric Factors (2003)

Wu, Ming-Chya, Hu, Chin-Kun, Izmailian, N. Sh.

Using exact partition functions and finite-size corrections for the Ising model on finite square, plane triangular, and honeycomb lattices, we obtain universal finite-size scaling functions for the...

Exact partition functions of the Ising model on MxN planar lattices with periodic-aperiodic boundary conditions (2002)

Wu, Ming-Chya, Hu, Chin-Kun

The Grassmann path integral approach is used to calculate exact partition functions of the Ising model on MxN square (sq), plane triangular (pt) and honeycomb (hc) lattices with periodic-periodic...

Phase Distribution and Phase Correlation of Financial Time Series

Ming-Chya Wu, Ming-Chang Huang, Hai-Chin Yu, Thomas Chiang

Scaling, phase distribution and phase correlation of financial time series are investigated based on the Dow Jones Industry Average (DJIA) and NASDAQ 10-minute intraday data for a period from Aug. 1...

Multiple Nucleic Acid Binding Sites and Intrinsic Disorder of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Nucleocapsid Protein: Implications for Ribonucleocapsid Protein Packagingâ–ż

Chang, Chung-Ke, Hsu, Yen-Lan, Chang, Yuan-Hsiang, Chao, Fa-An, Wu, Ming-Chya, Huang, Yu-Shan, ...

The nucleocapsid protein (N) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) packages the viral genomic RNA and is crucial for viability. However, the RNA-binding mechanism is poorly...
