objectives: myotonic dystrophy type i (dm1) is a dominantly inherited disorder with a multisystemic pattern affecting skeletal muscle, heart, eye, endocrine and central nervous system. dm1 is associated with the expansion and instability of ctg repeat in the 3' untranslated region of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (dmpk) gene located on chromosome 19q13.3. the aim of this study was ...

Longand infinit range correlations C2 and C3 in the optical speckle pattern represent one of the most interesting phenomena in multiple scattering of light. Despite the strong scattering these correlations survive the averaging process of light diffusion and are even enhanced with increased randomness. In this article we are going to discuss the microscopic origin of these particular correlatio...

1. What are these lectures about? Invariant measures, physical measures, and rates of mixing We are interested in discrete-time dynamical systems represented by the iterates f n = f f n?1 (where n 2 Z + represents time) of a transformation f : M ! M which is \chaotic," in the sense that arbitrarily close distinct initial points become \separated" (assuming a metric structure or at least a topol...

Statistical properties of earthquakes are studied both by the analysis of real earthquake catalog of Japan and by numerical computer simulations of the spring-block model in both one and two dimensions. Particular attention is paid to the spatiotemporal correlations of earthquakes, e.g., the recurrence-time distribution or the time evolution before and after the mainshock of seismic distributio...

This paper presents a novel learning algorithm that nds the linear combination of one set of multi-dimensional variates that is the best predictor, and at the same time nds the linear combination of another set which is the most predictable. This relation is known as the canonical correlation and has the property of being invariant with respect to a ne transformations of the two sets of variate...

We will provide a review of some of the physics which can be addressed by studying fluctuations and correlations in heavy ion collisions. We will discuss Lattice QCD results on fluctuations and correlations and will put them into context with observables which have been measured in heavy-ion collisions. Special attention will be given to the QCD critical point and the first order co-existence r...

In this paper we analyzed cross-correlations in commodity markets investigating correlations of future contracts for commodities over the period 1998.09.01 2007.12.14. We constructed a minimal spanning tree based on the correlation matrix. The tree provides evidence for sector clusterization of investigated contracts. We also studied dynamic properties of correlations. It turned out that the ma...

Induction of glutathione transferases (EC. 2.5.1.18), NAD(P)H: (quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.2; quinone reductase) and other detoxification enzymes is a major mechanism for protecting cells against the toxicities of electrophiles, including many carcinogens. Although inducers of these two enzymes belong to many different chemical classes, they nevertheless contain (or acquire by ...
