A matrix A is called completely positive if it can be decomposed as A = BBT with an entrywise nonnegative matrix B. The set of all such matrices is a convex cone which plays a role in certain optimization problems. A characterization of the interior of this cone is provided.

Plasma membrane H+-ATPase is a major integral membrane protein with a role in various physiological processes including abiotic stress response. To study the effect of NaCl on the expression pattern of a gene encoding the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, an experiment was carried out in a completely random design with three replications. A pair of specific primers was designed based on the sequence o...

an attempt has been made to analyze the distribution of the beta-lactoglobulin genotype in swamp buffaloes and murrah buffaloes utilizing polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(pcr-rflp). blood samples were taken from 50 swamp buffaloes and 50 murrah buffaloes. the dna was extracted by the phenol-chloroform method. the pcr-rflp was performed using beta-lactoglobulin ...
