Intrinsically disordered tails are common in DNA-binding proteins and can affect their search efficiency on nonspecific DNA by promoting the brachiation dynamics of intersegment transfer. During brachiation, the protein jumps between distant DNA regions via an intermediate state in which the tail and globular moieties are bound to different DNA segments. While the disordered tail must be long a...

Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...

Theoretical frameworks beyond the standard model predict a rich Higgs sector with multiple charged and neutral Higgs bosons. Both the CDF II and DØ experiments at the Tevatron have analyzed 1 fb−1 of pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.96TeV in search of Higgs boson production. A complete suite of results on searches for neutral, charged, and fermiophobic Higgs bosons limit the allowed production rates an...

We present a detailed analytical and numerical study of a novel type of static, superconducting, classically stable string texture in a renormalizable topologically trivial massive U(1) gauge model with one charged and one neutral scalar. An upper bound on the mass of the charged scalar as well as on the current that the string can carry are established. A preliminary unsuccesful search for sta...
