In this paper, we give some explicit evaluations of multiple zeta-star values which are rational multiple of powers of π. 1 Main Results The multiple zeta value (MZV) is defined by the convergent series ζ(k1, k2, . . . , kn) := ∑ m1>m2>···>mn>0 1 m1 1 m k2 2 · · ·m kn n , where k1, k2, . . . , kn are positive integers and k1 ≥ 2. The integers k = k1+k2+ · · ·+kn and n are called weight and dept...

We present the complete sequence of a cDNA encoding rabbit immunoglobulin kappa light chains of the Basilea isotype (K2). Although all rabbits seem to possess a K2 constant region gene, expression of this gene in most rabbits is minimal if present at all. Even in Basilea rabbits the majority of expressed immunoglobulins are of lambda type. We find that the sequence of our Basilea cDNA constant ...

Several reports suggest that obesity is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Vitamin K plays an important role in improving bone metabolism. This study examined the effects of vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 supplementation on the biochemical markers of bone turnover and morphological microstructure of the bones by using an obese mouse model. Four-week-old C57BL/6J male mice were fed a 10% fat normal diet...

Despite the high overall similarity in primary structure between kringle one (K1) and kringle two (K2) of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) there exists an enormous functional difference. It is thought that, in contrast to K1, K2 mediates lysine binding and fibrin binding and is involved in stimulation of plasminogen activation by fibrin or derivatives as CNBr fragments of fibrinogen. Hy...

Initial results on particle yields obtained by the HARP experiment are presented. The measurements correspond to proton–nucleus collisions at beam energies of 12.9 GeV /c and for a thin Al target of 5% interacion legth. The angular range considered is between 10 and 250 mrad. This results are the first step in the upcoming measurement of the forward production cross-section for the same target ...

This work considers recovery of signals that are sparse over two bases. For instance, a signal might be sparse in both time and frequency, or a matrix can be low rank and sparse simultaneously. To facilitate recovery, we consider minimizing the sum of the l1-norms that correspond to each basis, which is a tractable convex approach. We find novel optimality conditions which indicates a gain over...

We construct families of hyperelliptic curves over Q of arbitrary genus g with (at least) g integral elements in K2. We also verify the Beilinson conjectures about K2 numerically for several curves with g = 2, 3, 4 and 5. The first few sections of the paper also provide an elementary introduction to the Beilinson conjectures for K2 of curves.

UNLABELLED Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are the remnants of retroviral infection of ancestral germ cells. Mutations introduced into ERVs halt the production of infectious agents, but their effects on the function of retroviral proteins are not fully understood. Retroviral envelope glycoproteins (Envs) are utilized in membrane fusion during viral entry, and we recently identified intact coding...

Abstract We present mass and radius measurements of K2-79b K2-222b, two transiting exoplanets orbiting active G-type stars observed with HARPS-N K2. Their respective 10.99 day 15.39 orbital periods fall near signals induced by stellar magnetic activity. The might therefore interfere lead to an inaccurate estimate exoplanet mass. a method mitigate these effects when radial velocity (RV) activity...
