Magnetization measurements were carried out using a SQUID magnetometer (MPMS-5S XL Quantum Design) by keeping the nanorods inside the alumina pores in order to retain the alignment intact.
Melting of the paraffinic crystallites happened within the 40 60°C temperature range with formation of a liquid-crystal phase in which side chains are molten but retain the alignment of the low temperature phase.
"The weaker global economic environment has impacted the growth of Scotch in certain markets and therefore Diageo will continue to review and adjust the timing of the next phase of our investment programme to manage our Scotch whisky inventory and to retain the alignment between growth in production volumes and growth in demand".
This version of the account is now more unified and avoids the above charge of arbitrariness, while retaining the alignment with the commonsense view.
It has been recently shown that hybrid materials formed by nematic LCs incorporated in complex micro-structured porous matrices are often capable of indefinitely retaining the alignment direction imposed by an electric field.
The crystal structure of the hOGT goblin1 complex reveals the structural mimicry offered by the inhibitor, with both UDP and peptide moieties retaining the alignment observed in the Michaelis complex.
We retained the alignments that co-localized 2 or more different centromeric-specific sequences (pSat107 and any of CentSp), with a coverage of 80% or more and sequence identity of 80% or more.
To ensure that human-mouse orthologous sequences were compared in our study, this work only retained the alignments that include one-to-one human-mouse orthologous genes annotated by Ensembl.
From these alignments, we retained the alignments between the human, macaque, mouse, rat, cow, horse, dog, opossum, and chicken genomes only, and used the T-Coffee alignment tool [ 37] on 1000 bp segments of the genome to optimize the alignment for the nine selected genomes.
We aligned the reads to reference subgenomes (RepBase, intronic, and intergenic regions) using Bowtie software http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/index.shtml[ 29] using parameters that allow zero mismatches in the first 20 bases of the read, and retain the best alignment for the read.
Although the general approach seems relatively straightforward, many details remain to be resolved in this ongoing project, including how best to splice the resulting alignments of gene clusters into a whole-genome sequence alignment so as to retain the existing alignments outside of gene clusters.
