Limited automata are one-tape Turing machines that are allowed to rewrite the content of any tape cell only in the first d visits, for a fixed constant d. When d = 1 these models characterize regular languages. An exponential gap between the size of limited automata accepting unary languages and the size of equivalent finite automata is proved. Since a similar gap was already known from unary c...

Background: Since 1996 the assessment of environmental gamma radiation dose in residential areas of Iranian towns and cities has been accomplished for 10 counties. As a practical method and based on the results of a pilot study, in order to attribute the final results to the whole residential area of a town five stations were selected for every town. The location of individual station wa...

An adaptive speech rate control technology for ultra fast listening that is equivalent to skimming is described. Nowadays, listening to audio books on mobile devices is quite common. People read books at various levels of detail from close reading to skimming. Although a similar feature to skimming is required to efficiently obtain information from audio sources, there is no tool equivalent to ...

Neurules are a type of neuro-symbolic rules integrating neurocomputing and production rules. Each neurule is represented as an adaline unit. Neurules exhibit characteristics such as modularity, naturalness and ability to perform interactive and integrated inferences. One way of producing a neurule base is through conversion of an existing symbolic rule base yielding an equivalent but more compa...

Prion diseases are associated with the conversion of the normal cellular prion protein, PrP(c), to the abnormal, disease-associated form, PrP(Sc). This conversion can be mimicked in vitro by using a cell-free conversion assay. It has recently been shown that this assay can be modified to use bacterial recombinant PrP as substrate and mimic the in vivo transmission characteristics of rodent scra...

Recently, entanglement concentration was explicitly shown to be irreversible. However, it is still not clear what kind of states can be reversibly converted in the asymptotic setting by LOCC when neither the initial nor the target state is maximally entangled. We derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the reversibility of LOCC conversions between two bipartite pure entangled states i...

Environmental releases of tritium oxide at a number of Department of Energy nuclear weapons facilities contribute to a significant portion of environmental dose. Several conversion factors are utilized in the estimation of human impact from these releases, e.g., dispersion coefficients, consumption rates, uptake factors, transport factors, dose conversion factors, and risk coefficients. A proba...

An enzyme located in the particles of bovine adrenal medulla catalyzes the conversion of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine to the hormone norepinephrine (1). The extraction and partial purification of this enzyme have recently been described (2). With the purified enzyme, it was shown that the hydroxylation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine is coupled to a stoichiometrically equivalent oxidation of ...
