Closing the performance gap between an iterative frequency-domain solver and an explicit time-domain scheme for 3D migration on parallel architectures

Three-dimensional reverse-time migration with the constant-density acoustic wave equation requires an efficient numerical scheme for the computation of wavefields. An explicit finite-difference scheme in the time domain is a common choice. However, it requires a significant amount of disk space for the imaging condition. The frequency-domain...

Reduction of computing time for seismic applications based on the Helmholtz equation by Graphics Processing Units

The oil and gas industry makes use of computational intensive algorithms to provide an image of the subsurface. The image is obtained by sending wave energy into the subsurface and recording the signal required for a seismic wave to reflect back to the surface from the Earth interfaces that may have different physical properties. A seismic wave...

Reduction of computing time for least-squares migration based on the Helmholtz equation by graphics processing units

In geophysical applications, the interest in least-squares migration (LSM) as an imaging algorithm is increasing due to the demand for more accurate solutions and the development of high-performance computing. The computational engine of LSM in this work is the numerical solution of the 3D Helmholtz equation in the frequency domain. The...

Hotspots for selected metal elements and microbes accumulation and the corresponding water quality deterioration potential in an unchlorinated drinking water distribution system

Biofilm formation, loose deposit accumulation and water quality deterioration in drinking water distribution systems have been widely reported. However, the accumulation and distribution of harbored elements and microbes in the different niches (loose deposits, PVC-U biofilm, and HDPE biofilm) and their corresponding potential contribution to...

Improving Industrially Relevant Phenotypic Traits by Engineering Chromosome Copy Number in Saccharomyces pastorianus

The lager-brewing yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus is a hybrid between S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus with an exceptional degree of aneuploidy. While chromosome copy number variation (CCNV) is present in many industrial Saccharomyces strains and has been linked to various industrially-relevant traits, its impact on the brewing performance of S...

Full humanization of the glycolytic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Although transplantation of single genes in yeast plays a key role in elucidating gene functionality in metazoans, technical challenges hamper humanization of full pathways and processes. Empowered by advances in synthetic biology, this study demonstrates the feasibility and implementation of full humanization of glycolysis in yeast. Single...

A systematic evaluation of yeast sample preparation protocols for spectral identifications, proteome coverage and post-isolation modifications

The importance of obtaining comprehensive and accurate information from cellular proteomics experiments asks for a systematic investigation of sample preparation protocols. In particular when working with unicellular organisms with strong cell walls, such as found in the model organism and cell factory Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we...

Synthetic Genomics From a Yeast Perspective

Synthetic Genomics focuses on the construction of rationally designed chromosomes and genomes and offers novel approaches to study biology and to construct synthetic cell factories. Currently, progress in Synthetic Genomics is hindered by the inability to synthesize DNA molecules longer than a few hundred base pairs, while the size of the...

Engineering and characterization of alternative configurations of glycolysis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

One of the most conserved and central parts of metabolism is the pathway of glycolysis, that breaks down hexose sugars. While multiple variants of glycolytic pathway exist, the Emden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway which converts glucose to two molecules of pyruvate with the net gain of two ATP and two reduced NADH moieties is the one predominantly...

InfoPrint: Embedding Interactive Information in 3D Prints Using Low-Cost Readily-Available Printers and Materials

We present a fully-printable method to embed interactive information inside 3D printed objects. The information is invisible to the human eye and can be read using thermal imaging after temperature transfer through interaction with the objects. Prior methods either modify the surface appearance, require customized devices or not commonly used...
