This paper is a continuation of [Ohn16]. Throughout this paper, as in [Ohn16], we work over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero. Let E be a nef vector bundle of rank r on a projective space Pn with first Chern class c1 and second Chern class c2. In [Ohn16, Theorem 1.1], we classified such E’s in case c1 = 3 and c2 < 8, and in [Ohn16, Proposition 1.2], we also gave an example ...

Given two simplicial complexes C1 and C2 embedded in Euclidean space IR, C1 subdivides C2 if (i) C1 and C2 have the same underlying space, and (ii) every simplex in C1 is contained in a simplex in C2. In this paper we present a method to compute a set of weighted points whose alpha complex subdivides a given simplicial complex. Following this, we also show a simple method to approximate a given...

Abstract Introduction Left atrial (LA) size is a dynamic variable that changes during stress echocardiography (SE) and provides valuable information within beyond coronary artery disease. However, its measurement remains subjective, time-consuming based on manual tracings. Recent advances in deep learning might save analysis time deflate variability by removing the subjectivity of LA assessment...

Using the full-length and two engineered soluble forms (C1-C2 and Cla-C2) of type V adenylyl cyclase (ACV), we have investigated the role of an intramolecular interaction in ACV that modulates the ability of the alpha subunit of the stimulatory GTP-binding protein of AC (Gsalpha) to stimulate enzyme activity. Concentration-response curves with Gsalpha suggested the presence of high and low affi...

Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic avian herpesvirus whose genomic structure is similar to those of herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus. Repeat regions of the MDV genome have been intensively investigated because of a potential relationship to MDV oncogenicity and abundant expression of immediate-early transcripts. In this study, a 1.6-kb immediate-early transcript was loca...

This study reports effects of meaning and emotion (taboo vs. neutral words) on an illusory word (IW) phenomenon linked to orthographic repetition blindness (RB). Participants immediately recalled rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) lists consisting of two critical words (C1 and C2) containing shared letters, followed by a word fragment: for example, lake (C1) brake (C2) ush (fragment). For ...

It’s well known that there is a so-called exponential-type error bound for Gaussian interpolation which is the most powerful error bound hitherto. It’s of the form |f(x) − s(x)| ≤ c1(c2d) c3 d ‖f‖h where f and s are the interpolated and interpolating functions respectively, c1, c2, c3 are positive constants, d is the fill-distance which roughly speaking measures the spacing of the data points, ...

Calponin contributes to the regulation of smooth muscle contraction through its interaction with F-actin and inhibition of the actin-activated Mg-ATPase activity of phosphorylated myosin. Previous studies have shown that the contractile agonist acetylcholine induced a direct association of translocated calponin and PKC-alpha in the membrane. In the present study, we have determined the domain o...

The range of electrical properties that a neuron or muscle cell can manifest is determined by which ion channel genes it expresses and in what amounts. The Drosophila slowpoke Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel gene has four distinct promoters. Here we assess the role that a downstream intronic region, called the C2/C3 region, plays in modulating Promoter C1 and Promoter C2 activity. Promoter C1 and P...
