We study the field theories for pinned elastic systems at equilibrium and at depinning. Their beta functions differ to two loops by novel "anomalous" terms. At equilibrium we find a roughness zeta = 0.208 298 04 epsilon + 0.006 858 epsilon(2) (random bond), zeta = epsilon/3 (random field). At depinning we prove two-loop renormalizability and that random field attracts shorter range disorder. We...

UNLABELLED CodY is known to regulate various virulence properties in several Gram-positive bacteria but has not yet been studied in the important histotoxic and intestinal pathogen Clostridium perfringens. The present study prepared an isogenic codY-null mutant in C. perfringens type D strain CN3718 by insertional mutagenesis using the Targetron system. Western blot analysis indicated that, rel...

To study the expression of globin genes in human cells, human epsilon-globin genes were transferred into a K562 cell line, Bos, which synthesizes very low amounts of epsilon-globin mRNA. A plasmid (pSV2neo-epsilon) containing a complete epsilon-globin gene and 2 kilobases (kb) of 5' flanking DNA as well as a neomycin-resistance gene and a simian virus 40 origin of replication was transfected in...

The Fc-region of immunoglobulin E (IgE) comprising C epsilon 2, C epsilon 3, and C epsilon 4 domains is sufficient for binding to the alpha chain of the high affinity IgE-Fc receptor (Fc epsilon RI alpha). In order to identify the smallest Fc fragment capable of binding to the Fc epsilon RI alpha with high affinity, various regions of the IgE-Fc molecule were expressed in COS cells and investig...

The miscoding potential of N2,3-ethenoguanine (epsilon G), one of the carcinogen vinyl chloride adducts to DNA bases, has been examined by copying of poly (A, epsilon G) templates with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase. In contrast to the results previously obtained with poly (C, epsilon G) templates where epsilon G acts as G and A, in poly (A, epsilon G) templates epsilon ...

Epsilon is an extensible platform of integrated and task-specific languages for model management. With solutions to the 2011 TTC Hello World case, this paper demonstrates some of the key features of the Epsilon Object Language (an extension and reworking of OCL), which is at the core of Epsilon. In addition, the paper introduces several of the task-specific languages provided by Epsilon includi...

Epsilon technique cannot learn from training patterns with a contradiction | i.e. two or more training patterns have identical inputs but dierent outputs. These training patterns are not 100% satisable and the Descending Epsilon technique will not be able to reduce the value of epsilon beyond a limit. Secondly, the Descending Epsilon technique takes more cycles than normal back-propagation sinc...

Let G be a Carnot group. We study nonlocal diffusion equations in domain $$\Omega$$ of the form $$\begin{aligned} u_t^\epsilon (x,t)=\int _{G}\frac{1}{\epsilon ^2}K_{\epsilon }(x,y)(u^\epsilon (y,t)-u^\epsilon (x,t))\,dy, \qquad x\in \Omega \end{aligned}$$ with $$u^\epsilon =g(x,t)$$ for $$x\notin \Omega$$ . For an appropriated rescaled kernel $$K_\epsilon$$ , we apply Taylor series development...
