The amino-acid sequences of human alcohol dehydrogenase alpha-chain (ADH1) were analysed according to two-, three- and four-amino-acid sequences. The measured frequencies and probabilities were compared with the predicted frequencies and probabilities. Of 373 two-amino-acid sequences in the ADH1, 92 (24.665%) and 32 (8.579%) sequences can be explained by the predicted frequencies and probabilit...

Previous experimental measurements and linear stability analyses of curvilinear shearing flows of viscoelastic fluids have shown that the combination of streamwise curvature and elastic normal stresses can lead to flow destabilization. Torsional shear flows of highly elastic fluids with closed streamlines can also accumulate heat from viscous dissipation resulting in nonuniformity in the temper...

This paper proposes a methodology to manipulate the database state in a non-strict, purely functional programming language. The primary target is Haskell, which is the standard for such programming languages and has been known for its use of a state-transformer monad to handle input/output operations and the type class mechanism to incorporate ad hoc polymorphism. The main contribution of this ...

We propose a canonical representation of the long run matrix, which can constitute a basis for non-causality testing. This representation requires to determine a sub-matrix rank, which can be done using a test procedure, whose properties are analysed with Monte-Carlo experiments.  2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
