This story comes from a collection of short stories I wrote this past summer as Brackenridge Fellow with the Pitt Honors College under mentorship linguistics professor Dr. Abdesalam Soudi. My research during fellowship combined my interests in and creative writing by tracing impact linguistic discrimination college-student population within systems education healthcare. Throughout summer, condu...

In this paper we did a generalization of Hadamard product of Fibonacci Q matrix and Fibonacci Q−n matrix for continuous domain. We obtained Hadamard product of the golden matrices in the terms of the symmetrical hyperbolic Fibonacci functions and investigated some properties of Hadamard product of the golden matrices.

This paper presents a method of set partitionning for the Golden code. This space-time block code has been introduced in [1]. We show how to construct the Gosset lattice E8 as well as the Leech lattice Λ24. The same set partitionning is finally used to construct a trellis-coded modulation that outperforms the Golden code.

The so-called golden number φ = (1 + √ 5)/2 admits two wellknown representations: one as a limit of an standard sum of iterated square roots and other as a continuous fraction, both containing only the number 1. In a previous paper [8] of one of the authors, it is proved that this property characterizes the golden number, i.e., if

‘Golden Rice’ is a variety of rice engineered to produce bcarotene (pro-vitamin A) to help combat vitamin A deficiency1, and it has been predicted that its contribution to alleviating vitamin A deficiency would be substantially improved through even higher b-carotene content2. We hypothesized that the daffodil gene encoding phytoene synthase (psy), one of the two genes used to develop Golden Ri...

The Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) reactive substances assay is an easy and quick assay for the assessment in plants of lipid peroxidation, in which Malondialdehyde (MDA) is derivatized. To analyze the applicability of this method, the MDA concentrations in the leaves of different plants were measured by the TBA method. To further separate the interfering substances, fractional extraction and Gas Ch...

In recent years, the explosive growth of new generation wireless networks has spurred lot of research thrust particularly looking for a bandwidth efficient modulation and coding scheme. In this connection, researchers have recently turned up their attention towards chaotic communication systems and golden codes for its attractive benefits. This consequently had motivated us for two new proposal...

Proactive conservation planning for species requires the identification of important spatial attributes across ecologically relevant scales in a model-based framework. However, it is often difficult to develop predictive models, as the explanatory data required for model development across regional management scales is rarely available. Golden eagles are a large-ranging predator of conservation...

Different plant cultivars of the same genus and species can exhibit vastly different genetic transformation efficiencies. However, the genetic factors underlying these differences in transformation rate remain largely unknown. In barley, 'Golden Promise' is one of a few cultivars reliable for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. By contrast, cultivar 'Haruna Nijo' is recalcitrant to genetic t...

The role an individual's genetic background plays on phenotype and biological behavior of sporadic tumors remains incompletely understood. We showed previously that lymphomas from Golden Retrievers harbor defined, recurrent chromosomal aberrations that occur less frequently in lymphomas from other dog breeds, suggesting spontaneous canine tumors provide suitable models to define how heritable t...
