Mathematical reflections on Triple Helix calculations

When Triple Helix Unravels:

Cooperative research centers (CRCs) are a significant and growing “triple helix-based” vehicle for promoting cross sector collaboration, knowledge and technology transfer and ultimately innovation. Although there is a growing social science literature on these organizational structures, the management and “best practice” portion of this literature have tended to emphasize success stories and to...

Triple Helix-Forming Oligonucleotide

Triple-helical DNA can be formed by oligonucleotides that bind as third strands of DNA in a sequencespecific manner in the major groove in homopurine/homopyrimidine stretches in duplex DNA. Such triple helix-forming oligonucleotides have been used to inhibit gene expression by blocking transcription factor access to promoter sites in transient expression assays. In an alternative approach to ge...

Speakingwith theNatives: Reflections on Mathematical Communication

A s an amateur student of both theoretical physics and languages, I have had many occasions to contemplate the problems of transmission of mathematical information between people in different disciplines. What follows is a loosely connected series of observations based on my experience—and a few other things. It is a truth universally acknowledged that almost all mathematicians are Platonists, ...

Mathematical Reflections Problem

Mathematical Reflections problem

The above problem is my Problem U275 published in Mathematical Reflections 2013 (issue 4), slightly rewritten to make it more self-contained. 2 Of course, the problem can be straightforwardly generalized: Let A be any Qvector space. Then, we can require the a f to be elements of A instead of requiring them to be real numbers. The problem still remains valid in this generality, and the solution ...
