Introduction Since the origin of life in the primordial soup, the survival of all organisms has depended on their ability to detect and respond to chemicals in their environment. Today, animal chemosensation— smell and taste—relies on sensory circuits that recognize diverse external chemical cues and transform them into precise patterns of neuronal activity to evoke the appropriate response (Ac...

Formation of the molecular complexes between meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and the p-acceptors 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) and tetracyanothylene (TCNE) in chloroform solution was investigated spectrophotometrically. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 molecular complexes were determined using the Benesi-Hildebrand and Nash methods. The TPP-DDQ pro...

A new approach to the design of collective communication operations in wormhole-routed mesh networks is described. The approach extends the concept of dominating sets in graph theory by accounting for the relative distance-insensitivity of the wormhole switching strategy and by taking advantage of a multi-port communication architecture, which allows each node to simultaneously transmit message...

A new extension of the Hildebrand solubility approach which describes drug solubility in solvent mixtures showing multiple solubility peaks, the chameleonic effect, is proposed. The experimental solubilities of oxolinic acid were measured at 25 degrees C in solvent mixtures of ethanol-water and ethanol-ethyl acetate. A plot of the mole fraction of the drug against the solubility parameter (delt...

We prove collision bounds for the Pollard rho algorithm to solve the discrete logarithm problem in a general cyclic group G. Unlike the setting studied by Kim et al., we consider additive walks: the setting used in practice to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. Our bounds differ from the birthday bound O. p jGj/ by a factor of p log jGj and are based on mixing time estimates f...
