Playing Catch-up with Iterated Exponentials
Suppose that we have two animals that make the same number of strides per minute, but one of them makes larger strides than the other. If the strides of the smaller animal (the prey) have length a, and those of the larger animal (the predator) have length b, it is easy to see that a persistent predator will always be able to catch up with its prey. Let us assume that the prey starts one step ah...

متن کاملTranscriptional Regulation of Grass Secondary Cell Wall Biosynthesis: Playing Catch-Up with Arabidopsis thaliana
Secondary cell wall synthesis occurs in specialized cell types following completion of cell enlargement. By virtue of mechanical strength provided by a wall thickened with cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, these cells can function as water-conducting vessels and provide structural support. Several transcription factor families regulate genes encoding wall synthesis enzymes. Certain NAC and...
متن کاملIntegration Identities for Some Iterated Exponentials of Order Three
Inspired by the well-known elegant result for the integral of the power tower of length two x x , namely 1 0 1/x x dx = ∞ n=1 1/n n (first attributed to Johann Bernoulli, and commonly referred to as the " sophomore's dream " in present day literature [1]), we present a number of identities for power towers of length three. In the present communication, we shall be primarily concerned with inte-...
متن کاملExtensions by Antiderivatives, Exponentials of Integrals and by Iterated Logarithms
Let F be a characteristic zero differential field with an algebraically closed field of constants C, E ⊃ F be a no new constant extension by antiderivatives of F and let y1, · · · yn be antiderivatives of E. The antiderivatives y1, · · · , yn of E are called J-I-E antiderivatives if y′i ∈ E satisfies certain conditions. We will discuss a new proof for the KolchinOstrowski theorem and generalize...
