Light scattering and pH titration were used to examine the binding of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), poly(acrylamidomethylpropyl sulfonate) (PAMPS), poly(methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride) (PMAPTAC), and an AMPS-acrylamide random copolymer (PAMPS80AAm20). The critical protein charge required to induce protein-polyelectrolyte complexa...

In this paper, we consider the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) over the class of semi-direct product groups Zn ⋊ Zq. The definition of the semi-direct product depending on the choice of an homomorphism, we first analyze the different possibilities for this homomorphism in function of n and q. Then, we present a polynomial-time quantum algorithm solving the HSP over the groups of the form Zpr ⋊ Zp...

Stem cells in the shoot apex of plants produce cells required for the formation of new leaves. Adult leaves are composed of multiple tissue layers arranged along the dorso-ventral (adaxial/abaxial) axis. Class III homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-ZIPIII) transcription factors play an important role in the set-up of leaf polarity in plants. Loss of HD-ZIPIII function results in strongly misshapen ...

We address the concept of “minimal polynomial encoder” for finite support linear convolutional codes over Zpr . These codes can be interpreted as polynomial modules which enables us to apply results from the 2007-paper [8] to introduce the notions of “p-encoder” and “minimal p-encoder”. Here the latter notion is the ring analogon of a row reduced polynomial encoder from the field case. We show ...

In this paper we focus on Gröbner bases over rings for the univariate case. We identify a useful property of minimal Gröbner bases, that we call the " predictable leading monomial (PLM) property ". The property is stronger than " row reducedness " and is crucial in a range of applications. The first part of the paper is tutorial in outlining how the PLM property enables straightforward solution...

In this paper we study finite support convolutional codes over Zpr by means of an input-state-output representation. We show that the set weight trajectories associated to type representations has structure a Zpr-submodule Zprn and therefore is (finite support) code. Fundamental system-theoretical properties such as observability, reachability or minimality, are investigated in context.

It is commonly believed that gene duplications provide the raw material for morphological evolution. Both the number of genes and size of gene families have increased during the diversification of land plants. Several small proteins that regulate transcription factors have recently been identified in plants, including the LITTLE ZIPPER (ZPR) proteins. ZPRs are post-translational negative regula...

Islamic banking always strives to improve its reputation in the community by disclosing social responsibility (JSR) and institutional governance (ICG) as well distribution of Zakat funds (ZPR), but these efforts are still not optimal. The study aimed analyze impact JSR, ICG ZPR on reputation, represented Third Party Fund (DPK) Comercial Bank Indonesia (BUS). population this was purely BUS for p...

The electronic structure of semiconductors and insulators is affected by ionic motion through electron-phonon interaction, yielding temperature-dependent band gap energies zero-point renormalization (ZPR) at absolute zero temperature. For polar materials, the most significant contribution to ZPR can be understood in terms Fr\"ohlich model, which focuses on nonadiabatic interaction between an el...
