We introduce a framework for reducing the number of comparisons performed in the deletion and minimum deletion operations for priority queues. In particular, we give a priority queue with constant cost per insertion and minimum finding, and logarithmic cost with at most logn + O(log logn) 1 comparisons per deletion and minimum deletion, improving over the bound of 2 logn + O(1) comparisons for ...

Abstract Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved degradation process that degrades damaged proteins to maintain homeostasis and protect cells against stress. In this study, we identified characterized a critical autophagy-related protein, UvAtg14, in Ustilaginoidea virens , which the ortholog of MoAtg14 rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzea . UvAtg14 co-localized with UvAtg8 (an autophagy marke...

 Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease. It is a neuromuscular disorder caused by degenerative of lower motor neurons and occasionally bulbar neurons leading to progressive limb paralysis and muscular atrophy. The SMN1 gene is recognized as a SMA causing gene while NAIP has been characterized as a modifying factor for the clinical ...

In this paper, we discuss the problem of bounding the capacity of binary deletion channels in light of the paper, “Tight Asymptotic Bounds for the Deletion Channel with Small Deletion Probabilities” (Kalai, Mitzenmacher, Sudan, 2010), which proves an upper bound of C ≤ 1 − (1 − o(1))H(p) for the capacity of a binary deletion channel for p approaching 0. We present a brief history surrounding th...

duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd) and the milder allelic becker muscular dystrophy (bmd) are x-linked disorders. both dmd & bmd result from heterogenous mutation in the dystrophin gene and in about 65% of the cases one or more exons of the gene are deleted or duplicated. one third of cases arise from new mutation and the rest are familial. to analyze the prevalence of deletion in iranian patien...

in financial distress studies selection of variable is commonly basedon the success of variables in variable sets employed in earlierbankruptcy studies, suggestions in the literature or an accompanyingdata reduction in a large set of variables. if seemingly different variablesets exhibit a strong relationship then heterogeneous variable setscapture common information. canonical correlation anal...

considering the network structure is one of the new approaches in studying stochastic pert networks (spn). in this paper, planar networks are studied as a special class of networks. two structural reducible mechanisms titled arc contraction and deletion are developed to convert any planar network to a series-parallel network structure. in series-parallel spn, the completion time distribution fu...

We study the task of encryption with certified deletion (ECD) introduced by Broadbent and Islam (2020), but in a device-independent setting: we show that it is possible to achieve this even when honest parties do not trust their quantum devices. Moreover, define security for ECD composable manner our protocol satisfies conditions lead security. Our based on key distribution (DIQKD), particular ...
