Aims. In the present work, the effect of near-degeneracy on rotational Petersen diagrams (RPD) is analysed. Methods. Seismic models are computed considering rotation effects on both equilibrium models and adiabatic oscillation frequencies (including second-order near-degeneracy effects). Contamination of coupled modes and coupling strength on the first radial modes are studied in detail. Result...

Identity has remained a popular concept for many decades, being widely used in scientific research. This reflects not only the importance of phenomena standing behind this notion, but also wide and deep changes accompanying transition societies from industrial to post-industrial, late modern, post-modern, network or information society. Regardless disputes about nature new era, researchers agre...

Growth is a problematic issue for SME. It consumes resources and, since resources are structurally limited in SME, development strategies often generate real dilemmas (Martinet, 1981). Leverage strategies are frequently applied in an attempt to get around the problem. Nevertheless, such approaches to growth upset the proxemic management processes characteristic of SME (Torres, 2000), notably in...

A novel MS/MS-based analysis strategy using isotopomer labels, referred to as "tandem mass tags" (TMTs), for the accurate quantification of peptides and proteins is described. The new tags are designed to ensure that identical peptides labeled with different TMTs exactly comigrate in all separations. The tags require novel methods of quantification analysis using tandem mass spectrometry. The n...

MicroRNAs regulate gene expression as part of the RNA-induced silencing complex, where the sequence identity of the miRNA provides the specificity to the target messenger RNA, and the result is target repression. The mode of repression can be through target cleavage, RNA destabilization and/or decreased translational efficiency. Here, we provide a comprehensive global analysis of the evolutiona...

Abstract. Recently (cf. [1] and [2]) L. Accardi and A. Boukas proved that the generators of the second quantized Virasoro–Zamolodchikov–w∞ algebra can be expressed in terms of the Renormalized Higher Powers of White Noise and conjectured that this inclusion might in fact be an identity, in the sense that the converse is also true. In this paper we prove that this conjecture is true. We also exp...

In this paper we discuss the unique security characteristics of cell phones in ad hoc mode for emergency applications. We assume as first security requirements: secure authentication with non-repudiation, the need to stop the spread of malicious information as soon as possible, and the defence against potential Denial of Service. We provide solutions to the above security challenges for cell ph...
