We consider a family of schemes, that are defined by minors of a homogeneous symmetric matrix with polynomial entries. We assume that they have maximal possible codimension, given the size of the matrix and of the minors that define them. We show that these schemes are G-bilinked to a linear variety of the same dimension. In particular, they can be obtained from a linear variety by a finite seq...

A new class of queueing networks with \negative and positive" customers was introduced and shown to have a non-standard product form 4]; since then this model has undergone several generalizations 5, 6, 7, 8]. Positive customers are identical to the usual customers of a queueing network, while a negative customer which arrives to a queue simply destroys a positive customer. We call these genera...

Class B GPCR's are activated by peptide ligands, typically 30-40 amino acid residues, that are involved in major physiological functions such as glucose homeostasis (glucagon and glucagon-like peptide 1), calcium homeostasis and bone turnover (parathyroid hormone and calcitonin), and control of the stress axis (corticotropin-releasing factor). Peptide therapeutics have been developed targeting ...

A property (D) of subshifts was defined in: Wolfgang Krieger, On gfunctions for subshifts, IMS Lecture NotesMonograph Series, Vol. 48, Dynamics & Stochastics (2006) 306 316, arXiv:math.DS/0608259. With a view towards a theory of g-fnctions beyond the case of finte type subshifts partially defined continuous gfunctions of property (D) subshifts are studied.

For my final project, I will be constructing a 70V audio amplifier capable of delivering about 200 watts into a network of transformer coupled loudspeakers. My design utilizes a class G (rail switching) output stage for increased efficiency and lessened cooling requirements. The rest of the amplifier circuit is fairly standard: an input differential pair with negative feedback from the amplifie...

A class of G-semipreinvex functions, which are some generalizations of the semipreinvex functions, and theG-convex functions, is introduced. Examples are given to show their relations among G-semipreinvex functions, semipreinvex functions and G-convex functions. Some characterizations of G-semipreinvex functions are also obtained, and some optimality results are given for a class of G-semiprein...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent of constitutive activity among orphan class-A G protein coupled receptors within the cAMP signaling pathway. Constitutive signaling was revealed by changes in gene expression under control of the cAMP response element. Gene expression was measured in Chinese hamster ovary cells transiently co-transfected with plasmids containing a luciferase ...
