We consider the asymmetric random average process (ARAP) with continuous mass variables and parallel discrete time dynamics studied recently by Krug/Garcia and Rajesh/Majumdar [both Jrl. Stat. Phys. 99 (2000)]. The model is defined by an arbitrary state-independent fraction density function φ(r) with support on the unit interval. We examine the exactness of mean-field steady-state mass distribu...

In 1981, Chile reformed its social security system. An inefficient and insolvent pay-asyou-go regime was replaced by system based on individual retirement accounts. Over the years Chile’s reform has been widely praised, and has been carefully studied by policy makers throughout the world. In this paper we focus on a neglected aspect of Chile’s social security reform: its impact on labor market ...

Gene expression is mediated through interaction between cis regulatory elements and its cognate transcription factors. Cis regulatory elements are defined as non-coding DNA sequences that provide the binding sites for transcription factors and are clustered in the upstream region of genes. ACGT cis regulatory element is one of the important cis regulatory elements found to be involved in divers...

Neat Fibers of HiPco single wall carbon nanotubes extruded from strong acid suspensions exhibit preferred orientation along fiber axes. We characterize the extrusion-induced alignment using x-ray fiber diagrams and polarized Raman scattering, using a model which allows for some fraction of the sample to remain completely unaligned. We show that both x-ray and Raman data are required for a compl...

following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by f.~w.~lawvere in his phd thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. the cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. we introduce t...

Uterine rupture is an uncommon, but a life-threatening, complication following second trimester medical termination of pregnancy (TOP). The reported cases have been in both the scarred and unscarred uterus (Rajesh et al. 2002, Drey et al. 2006, and Dickinson). A 27-year-old with two previous deliveries, no previous caesarean section, no history of induced abortions, and no gynaecological operat...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the amount and percentage of anchor loss after initial leveling and aligning using a ROTH and MBT prescription. MATERIALS & METHODS Pre and post alignment lateral cephalograms & dental casts of 10 ROTH & 10 MBT patients. RESULTS In the study, it was found that the amount of anchor loss is greater in the ROTH group than the MBT group. This could be due to the increased...

Protein complexes play a vital role in living organisms as they regulate and execute biological processes. As experimental methods of extracting protein complexes are fraught with difficulties, scientists look towards protein complex prediction. However, protein-protein interaction (PPI) data which are used to predict protein complexes are often noisy and incomplete. As published literature may...
