The emptiness of the intersection of visibly pushdown languages [1] is decidable. However, if different alphabet partitions, or more precisely pushdown alphabets, are considered, the emptiness of this intersection becomes undecidable. It will be shown that this problem can be split into four cases. One of them has already been studied, another one is trivial. Of the last two cases one will be p...

Most methods for protein functional classification rely on the comparison of their amino acid sequence. However functional classification of proteins is strongly defined by their three dimensional structure. This approach is based on the fact that proteins from one fold keep the same structure even after evolutionary changes of their sequence. The underlying theme of the work is: ’can we find a...

We present a case which needed awake fibreoptic intubation due to severe trismus and a prolonged period intubated in the Intensive Care Unit after incision and drainage of neck spaces and removal of his lower wisdom teeth.
