Counting Chromosomes: Not as Easy as 1, 2, 3

چکیده
Mammalian cells must count their X chromosomes to determine whether to initiate X chromosome inactivation. A region that may be important for X chromosome counting has been identified, but the puzzle pieces still do not quite fit.

Uniqueness of Meromorphic Functions and Differential Polynomials
Let f be a nonconstant meromorphic function defined in the whole complex plane . It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the notations of the Nevanlinna theory such as T r, f , m r, f ,N r, f , and S r, f , that can be found, for instance, in 1–3 . Let f and g be two nonconstant meromorphic functions. Let a be a finite complex number. We say that f and g share the value a CM counting mul...
متن کاملA Combinatorial Proof of Vandermonde's Determinant
that is as easy as playing cards. Let Vn denote the Vandermonde matrix with (i, j)th entry vi j = x j i (0 ≤ i, j ≤ n). Since the determinant of Vn is a polynomial in x0, x1, . . . , xn , it suffices to prove the identity for positive integers x0, x1, . . . , xn with x0 ≤ x1 ≤ · · · ≤ xn . We define a Vandermonde card to possess a suit and a value, where a card of Suit i has a value from the se...
متن کاملCounting subgraphs in quasi-random 4-uniform hypergraphs
A bipartite graph G = (V1 ∪ V2, E) is (δ, d)-regular if ̨̨ d− d(V ′ 1 , V ′ 2 ) ̨̨ < δ whenever V ′ i ⊂ Vi, |V ′ i | ≥ δ|Vi|, i = 1, 2.Here, d(V ′ 1 , V ′ 2 ) = e(V ′ 1 , V ′ 2 )/|V ′ 1 ||V ′ 2 | stands for the density of the pair (V ′ 1 , V ′ 2 ). An easy counting argument shows that if G = (V1 ∪ V2 ∪ V3, E) is a 3-partite graph whose restrictions on V1 ∪V2, V1 ∪V3, V2 ∪V3 are (δ, d)regular, then ...

Given a DNF formula φ with n variables, DNF counting is the problem finding the number of satisfying assignments for φ. Note that in general satisfiability for DNF is easy as we need only satisfy a single clause, but the counting problem is hard. Indeed, if we could do this, then given any 3-CNF formula f with n variables, we could take its negation, count how many satisfying assignments its ne...
متن کاملValidity of Selected WBC Differentiation Flags in Sysmex XT-1800i
Background: Automatic Cell Counter devises make the CBC differential very easy and delivering the results in few second. However, the problem with this device is facing a flag requires a time-consuming microscopic review of the specimen which causes unacceptable wait times for patient as well as costs for laboratories. In this study, we calculated the validity of WBC d...
