We consider min set covering when the subsets are constrained to have maximum cardinality three. We propose an exact algorithm whose worst case complexity is bounded above by O∗(1.3957n). This is an improvement, based on a refined analysis, of a former result (O∗(1.4492n)) by F. Della Croce and V. Th. Paschos, Computing optimal solutions for the min 3-set covering problem, Proc. ISAAC’05, LNCS ...

Through bioinformatic prediction, between Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) and goose parvovirus (GPV), there were one epitope AA503-509 (RANEPKE) on non-structural protein and three epitopes AA426-430 (SQDLD), 540-544 (DPYRS), 685-691 (KENSKRW) on structural protein might cross-react with each other. Furthermore, the four epitops were expressed in Escherichia coli. All the four recombinant protei...

The aim of this article is to provide a preliminary estimate of how much CAM is evidence-based. For this purpose, I calculated the percentage of 685 treatment/condition pairings evaluated in the "Desktop Guide to Complementary and Alternative Medicine" which are supported by sound data. The resulting figure was 7.4%. For a range of reasons, it might be a gross over-estimate. Further investigati...

The beta2 adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) undergoes desensitization by a process involving its phosphorylation by both protein kinase A (PKA) and G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). The protein kinase A-anchoring protein AKAP79 influences beta2AR phosphorylation by complexing PKA with the receptor at the membrane. Here we show that AKAP79 also regulates the ability of GRK2 to phosphorylate...
