Abstract Background We report an attempt to extend the previously successful approach of combining SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) microarrays and DNA pooling (SNP-MaP) employing high-density microarrays.Whereas earlier studies employed a range Battery Box Covers of Affymetrix SNP microarrays comprising from 10 K to 500 K SNPs, this most recen
Abstract The clutch is an important component of the vehicle driveline system.One of its major functions is to attenuate or eliminate the torsional vibration and noise of the driveline system caused by the engine.Based on experiments of vibration damping under different vehicle conditions, the structure and functional principle of a clutch-driven d
