Previous studies in the literature for video transmission over wireless communication systems focused on combating the effects of additive channel noise and fading channels without taking the impairments in the physical layer such as phase noise (PHN) into account. Oscillator phase noise impairs the performance of multi-input multioutput-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) sy...

The standard methodology for representing deductive systems in LF identifies the object’s language’s context with the LF context. Consequently, any variable dealt with explicitly by any judgement or metatheorem must be last in the context. When the object language is dependently typed, this can pose a problem for establishing some metatheoretic results, since dependent hypotheses cannot be re-o...

We present a type system extending the dependent type theory LF, whose terms are more amenable to compact representation. This is achieved by carefully omitting certain subterms which are redundant in the sense that they can be recovered from the types of other subterms. This system is capable of omitting more redundant information than previous work in the same vein, because of its uniform tre...

In this paper we present some evidence that methods from random matrix theory can give insight into the frequency of vanishing for quadratic twists of modular L-functions. The central question is the following: given a holomorphic newform f with integral coefficients and associated L-function Lf (s), for how many fundamental discriminants d with |d| ≤ x, does Lf (s, χd), the L-function twisted ...

Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin consists of the protective antigen (PA) and the metalloprotease lethal factor (LF). During cellular uptake PA forms pores in membranes of endosomes, and unfolded LF translocates through the pores into the cytosol. We have investigated whether host cell chaperones facilitate translocation of LF and the fusion protein LF(N)DTA. LF(N) mediates uptake of LF(N)DTA int...

This study was carried out to estimate general combining ability (GCA) and specific (SCA) of pre-and post-weaning traits from a partial diallel cross in three rabbit breeds: Local (L), Flemish Giant (F), Rex (R). Body weight at 0 (BW0), 30 (BW30), 42 (BW42), 63 (BW63) days age, average daily gains d age (ADG0-30), (ADG30-42), (ADG42-63), (ADG30-63), litter size birth (LS0) weaning (LS42), morta...

Let V be a set of points in R. Define a linear functional L on the space of polynomials, Lf = ∑ x∈V f(x)ρ(x), where ρ is a nonzero function on V . The structure of discrete orthogonal polynomials of several variables with respect to the bilinear form 〈f, g〉 = L(fg) is studied. For a given V , the subspace of polynomials that will generate orthogonal polynomials on V is identified. One result sh...

Prosodically reduced pronouns come in two forms, “weak” and “clitic,” both differing from non-reduced “strong” pronouns. Both of these also occur in Westgermanic dialects and exhibit different properties which cannot always be unambiguously disentangled. The theoretical framework presented here allows us a straightforward disambiguation: reduced pronominal elements in the left periphery must be...

Let f be a newform of even weight k, level M and character ψ and let g be a newform of even weight l, level N and character η. We give a generalization of a theorem of Elliott, regarding the average values of Dirichlet L-functions, in the context of twisted modular L-functions associated to f and g. Using this result, we find a lower bound in terms of Q for the number of primitive Dirichlet cha...

Lactoferrin (Lf) is a multifunctional glycoprotein, which promotes the proliferation of murine C2C12 myoblasts. In the present study, it was investigated how Lf promotes myoblast proliferation and whether Lf promotes myoblast differentiation or induces myotube hypertrophy. Lf promoted the proliferation of myoblasts in a dose‑dependent manner. Myoblast proliferation increased on day 3 when myobl...
