MOTIVATION Structured non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have a very important functional role in the cell. No distinctive general features common to all ncRNA have yet been discovered. This makes it difficult to design computational tools able to detect novel ncRNAs in the genomic sequence. RESULTS We devised an algorithm able to detect conserved secondary structures in both pairwise and multiple DNA ...

Recently, an interaction between the mathematical discipline of combinatorics on words and musical scale theory has led to various interesting results. So far, the focus was mainly on scales generated by a single interval. The paper proposes an extension of word scale theory to tone systems of higher dimensions, i.e. generated by more than one interval. It is shown that the number of specific v...

We prove that there are infinitely many pairwise non-commensurable hyperbolic $n$-manifolds have the same ambient group and trace ring, for any $n \geq 3$. The manifolds can be chosen compact if 4$.
