The school also offers ballet "for alignment purposes and for muscular development," Ms. Ross said, referring to the underpinnings of good dance form.
For alignment purposes and in order to facilitate comparison to nuclear sputtering conditions, the system also includes a 5 keV Ar+ ion beam directed to the same sample area.
Equipment includes a crane towering 90‐feet over Central Park and another one at the base of the shaft 120 feet down, jackhammers, welding torches, generators, an air‐intake pump, and devices projecting laser beams for alignment purposes and as points of reference.
For alignment purposes, the amino acids of the entire M2 helix can be numbered sequentially from N- to C-terminus (intracellular-to extracellular, 1'–28'; M243-A270 in α subunit).
The image-plane holography system demonstrated here allows fast switching between conventional bright-field and holographic microscopy, which is highly convenient for alignment purposes.
Three of the 385 sequences were considered as a single sequence for alignment purposes because they were identical at the amino acid level in the NB region although they differed in their other domains.
Given that the uORFs from orthologous genes were selected to be within a given length interval for alignment purposes, the high amino acid sequence similarity may suggest that these uORFs have a functional role (e.g., ribosomal stalling) that is mediated by the encoded uORF peptide.
(In most of the known structural alignment problems, each point is the 3D coordinates of the C α atom, one per residue. Hence, a structure can be modeled for structural alignment purpose as a sequence of 3D points).
The algorithm does not require the adjustment or modification of the alignment scoring scheme(s) that is usually tuned for a particular alignment purpose, e.g. cross-species, contig or read alignments.
