Reconstructing compositions

چکیده

We consider the problem of reconstructing compositions of an integer from their subcompositions, which was raised by Raykova (albeit disguised as a question about layered permutations). We show that every composition w of n ≥ 3k+1 can be reconstructed from its set of k-deletions, i.e., the set of all compositions of n− k contained in w. As there are compositions of 3k with the same set of k-deletions, this result is best possible.

Red coralline algae assessed as marine pH proxies using 11B MAS NMR

Reconstructing pH from biogenic carbonates using boron isotopic compositions relies on the assumption that only borate, and no boric acid, is present. Red coralline algae are frequently used in palaeoenvironmental reconstruction due to their widespread distribution and regular banding frequency. Prior to undertaking pH reconstructions using red coralline algae we tested the boron composition of...

String Reconstruction from Substring Compositions

Motivated by mass-spectrometry protein sequencing, we consider the problem of reconstructing a string from the multisets of its substring composition. We show that all strings of length 7, one less than a prime and one less than twice a prime, can be reconstructed uniquely up to reversal. For all other lengths, we show that unique reconstruction is not always possible and provide sometimes-tigh...

Application of glauconite and fossil palynomorphs in reconstructing the Liassic paleogeography just before the opening of the Gulf of Mexico

Red beds, conglomerates and salt were considered azoic and problematic rocks, but Paleopalynology and Inorganic Geochemistry proved to be useful for placing them in time and space. In the early last century, in Mexican NE region, only three Mesozoic red bed units were differentiated, dated as Late Triassic to Late Jurassic. It was important tratigraphically to place them properly as they were c...

Inferring Evolutionary Scenarios for Protein Domain Compositions

Essential cellular processes are controlled by functional interactions of protein domains, which can be inferred from their evolutionary histories. Methods to reconstruct these histories are challenged by the complexity of reconstructing macroevolutionary events. In this work we model these events using a novel network-like structure that represents the evolution of domain combinations, called ...
