This paper presents a fresh new combinatorial approach to the study of minimal zero sequences of a finite abelian group. We begin by presenting some general algebraic theory aimed at reducing the search space of potential minimal zero sequences for a certain class of groups, as well as describe the optimal algorithm for generating all minimal zero sequences of such a group. We continue by givin...

In this paper, we propose a new method to analyze the difference and similarity of biological sequences, based on the fuzzy sets theory. Considering the sequence order and some chemical and structural properties, we present a computational method to cluster the biological sequences. By some examples, we show that the new method is relatively easy and we are able to compare the sequences of arbi...

Move pruning is a low-overhead technique for reducing search cost in single-agent search problems by avoiding the generation of duplicate states. Redundant sequences of moves, where the effect of one sequence is provably identical to some other sequence of moves, are suppressed during search. We present an algorithm for automatically identifying redundant move sequences in a general class of si...

Raw starch degrading enzyme specially glucoamylase with binding domain (SBD) has great values in the processing industry because it digests particles below gelatinization temperature by releasing glucose from non-reducing ends sequentially. The purpose of study was to measure secretion levels recombinant Pichia pastoris, using α-mating factor signal peptide (α-MF) and native Aspergillus flavus ...

Binary sequences such as chaotic-binary (CB) sequences derived from an iterative chaotic equation have been used in selected mapping (SLM) methods to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Though CB sequences have been shown to produce good PAPR reduction performance, their implementation requires a significant number of compl...

We introduce a matricial Toeplitz transform and prove that the Toeplitz transform of a second order recurrence sequence is another second order recurrence sequence. We investigate the injectivity of this transform and show how this distinguishes the Fibonacci sequence among other recurrence sequences. We then obtain new Fibonacci identities as an application of our transform.

The Florida Everglades is one of the largest freshwater marshes in North America and has been subject to eutrophication for decades. A gradient in P concentrations extends for several kilometers into the interior of the northern regions of the marsh, and the structure and function of soil microbial communities vary along the gradient. In this study, stable isotope probing was employed to invest...
