The almost complete transcription of the human genome yield in a high number of transcripts, that do not encode proteins. However, the functional elucidation of especially long non cod-ing RNAs is still difficult. Secondary structure analysis is assumed to be a possible method to detect functional relationships of lncRNAs on a large scale, but it is still time consuming and error-prone. GRAPHCLUST, the currently most suitable clustering tool based on RNA secondary structure analysis, lacks mainly in an efficient method for the interpretation of its results. Hence, an independent and interactive RNA clustering interpretation tool was developed to allow visu-alisation and an efficient analysis of RNA clustering results.
In this work a novelty detection framework provided by M. Filippone and G. Sanguinetti is considered, which is useful especially when only few training samples are available. It is restricted to Gaussian mixture models and makes use of information theory, applying the Kullback-Leibler divergence. In this work two variations of the framework are presented, applying the symmetric Hellinger divergence and a statistical likelihood approach.
For the first time it was discovered that ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm (maximum 365 nm) radiated from a distance of 40 cm (intensity: 3500 mW/cm²) to PMMA altered its surface wettability as well as a roughness at the nanoscale that was observed with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The roughness rises and falls again in a short time ( 1-2days ) after 75 min and 180 min irradiation time. However , during the next 10 days roughness became stabilized and there was no influence of UV if PMMA was stored in air or in a Petri dish out of glass.
