Only the known integrable cases of the Kodama-Hasegawa higherorder nonlinear Schrödinger equation pass the Painlevé test. Recent results of Ghosh and Nandy add no new integrable cases of this equation. Being a true high-technology application of a mathematical object, the optical soliton in fiber optical lines of communications is an ideal carrier of information because the integrability of its...

Mobile app developers monetize in-app purchases or add-ons whose prices can be compared with the of and other add-ons. However, little attention is paid to pricing methods base add-on products maximize sales. This study examines how absolute relative new add-ons—compared those existing in same product—influence their sales a consideration product popularity. Using sample 7,108 weekly observatio...

Oligonucleotides (ONs) are synthetic fragments of nucleic acid designed to modulate the expression of target proteins. DNA-based ONs (antisense, antigene, aptamer or decoy) and more recently a new class of RNA-based ONs, the small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), have gained great attention for the treatment of different disease states, such as viral infections, inflammation, diabetes, and cancer. Ho...

The equilibrium folding of the catalytic domain of Bacillus subtilis RNase P RNA is investigated by single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Previous ensemble studies of this 255-nucleotide ribozyme described the equilibrium folding with two transitions, U-to-I(eq)-to-N, and focused on the I(eq)-to-N transition. The present study focuses on the U-to-I(eq) transition. Compa...
