The problem of rigid origami, treating the folds as hinges joining two flat, rigid surfaces, such as sheet metal, has great practical importance. For example, the Miura map fold is a rigid fold that has been used to deploy large solar panel arrays for space satellites. The napkin folding problem is the problem of wheth... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_paper_folding |
The crRNA-Cas12a complex searches dsDNA for a 3-6nt 5' protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). Once a PAM is found, the protein locally denatures the dsDNA and searches for complementarity between the crRNA spacer and the ssDNA protospacer. Sufficient complementarity will trigger RuvC activity and the RuvC active site will t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cas12a |

Hence, it was compiled as a general corpus to pave the way for automatic search and processing in the field of corpus linguistics. One of the ways the BNC was to be differentiated from existing corpora at that time was to open up the data not just to academic research, but also to commercial and educational uses.The co... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_National_Corpus |
