THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN MAGNETISM AND SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN STRONGLY CORRELATED MATERIALS (2009)

Hu, Tao

We performed out-of-plane angular dependent magnetoresistivity measurements on La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/YBa2Cu3O7-δ(LCMO/YBCO) trilayer heterostructure. Our results show that the conductance of the LCMO...

Construction of an Artificial MicroRNA Expression Vector for Simultaneous Inhibition of Multiple Genes in Mammalian Cells (2009)

Tao Hu, Qiong Fu, Ping Chen, Li Ma, Onsam Sin, Deyin Guo

Recently, artificial microRNA (amiRNA) has become a promising RNA interference (RNAi) technology. Here, we describe a flexible and reliable method for constructing both single- and multi-amiRNA...

Identifying Lys 359 as a Critical Residue for the ATP-dependent Reactions of Drosophila DNA Topoisomerase II* (2008)

Tao Hu, Steve Chang, Tao-shih Hsieh

highly conserved QTK-loop in the DNA gyrase B protein homologous domain of Drosophila topoisomerase II inactivates its catalytic activities. Although strand passage and DNA-dependent ATPase...

INCORPORATING SELF-INTEREST INTO INFORMATION Abstract SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT: A RESEARCH MODEL (2008)

Tao Hu, Xihui Zhang, Brian D. Janz

Information systems (IS) analysis and design has much to do with “people factors. ” Basically, human beings are creatures of self-interest. This paper first proposes a theory of self-interest as...

Grid-Based Resource Management of Naval Weapon Systems (2008)

Bin Zeng, Tao Hu, Zitang Li

Abstract. The continuous transformation of the Chinese navy into an integrated and network-centric capability requires a cooperative and distributed weapon resource management system. As one of the...

Theory of DNA translocation through narrow ion channels and nanopores with charged walls (2008)

Hu, Tao, Shklovskii, B. I.

Translocation of a single stranded DNA through genetically engineered $\alpha$-hemolysin channels with positively charged walls is studied. It is predicted that transport properties of such channels...

How a protein searches for its specific site on DNA: the role of intersegment transfer (2007)

Hu, Tao, Shklovskii, B. I.

Proteins are known to locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders of magnitude faster than predicted by the Smoluchowski three-dimensional diffusion rate. One of the mechanisms proposed to...

Kinetics of viral self-assembly: the role of ss RNA antenna (2006)

Hu, Tao, Shklovskii, B. I.

A big class of viruses self-assemble from a large number of identical capsid proteins with long flexible N-terminal tails and ss RNA. We study the role of the strong Coulomb interaction of positive...

Electrostatic theory of viral self-assembly: a toy model (2006)

Hu, Tao, Zhang, Rui, Shklovskii, B. I.

Viruses self-assemble from identical capsid proteins and their genome consisting, for example, of a long single stranded (ss) RNA. For a big class of T = 3 viruses capsid proteins have long positive...

Environmental economic impact assessment in China: Problems and prospects (2006)

Lindhjem, Henrik, Hu, Tao, Ma, Zhong, Skjelvik, John Magne, Song, Guojun, Vennemo, Haakon, ...

The use of economic valuation methods to assess environmental impacts of projects and policies has grown considerably in recent years. However, environmental valuation appears to have developed...

Hopping conductivity of a suspension of flexible wires in an insulator (2006)

Hu, Tao, Shklovskii, B. I.

We study the hopping conductivity in a composite made of Gaussian coils of flexible metallic wires randomly and isotropically suspended in an insulator at such concentrations that the spheres...

Hopping conductivity of a suspension of nanowires in an insulator (2006)

Hu, Tao, Shklovskii, B. I.

We study the hopping conduction in a composite made of straight metallic nanowires randomly and isotropically suspended in an insulator. Uncontrolled donors and acceptors in the insulator lead to...

How does a protein search for the specific site on DNA: the role of disorder (2006)

Hu, Tao, Shklovskii, B. I.

Proteins can locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders of magnitude faster than the Smoluchowski three-dimensional diffusion rate. This happens due to non-specific adsorption of proteins...

Conductivity of a suspension of nanowires in a weakly conducting medium (2006)

Hu, Tao, Grosberg, A. Yu., Shklovskii, B. I.

We study macroscopic electrical or thermal conductivity of a composite made of straight or coiled nanowires suspended in poorly conducting medium. We assume that volume fraction of the wires is so...

New method for determining the thickness of non-edge-on disk galaxies (2005)

Zhao, Yinghe, Peng, Qiuhe, Hu, Tao

In this paper we report a new method for determining the thickness of the non-edge-on disk galaxies. Our method is based on the observation comparing with the theoretical researches of the...

How do proteins search for their specific sites on coiled or globular DNA (2005)

Hu, Tao, Grosberg, A. Yu., Shklovskii, B. I.

It is known since the early days of molecular biology that proteins locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders of magnitude faster than the Smoluchowski 3D diffusion rate. It was the idea...
