We investigate the presence of topological structures and multiple phase transitions in O(3)-sigma model with gauge field governed by Maxwell's term subject to a so-called Gausson's self-dual potential. To carry out this study, it is numerically shown that supports solutions 3-dimensional spacetime. In fact, obtain solutions, we assume spherically symmetrical ansatz find as well some physical b...

We consider a family of dense G? subsets [0, 1], defined as intersections unions small uniformly distributed intervals, and study their logarithmic capacity. Changing the speed at which lengths generating intervals decrease, we observe sharp phase transition from full to zero Such set can be considered toy model for exceptional energies in parametric version Furstenberg theorem on random matrix...

Burchard, Robert P. (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis), and Martin Dworkin. Light-induced lysis and carotenogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus. J. Bacteriol. 91:535-545. 1966.-Myxococcus xanthus, grown vegetatively in the light, developed an orange carotenoid after the cells entered stationary phase of growth; pigment content increased with age. Cells grown in the dark did not develop carotenoid...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has developed diverse strategies to respond and adapt to antibiotic stress. Among the factors that modulate survival in the presence of antibiotics, alternative sigma factors play an important role. Here, we demonstrate that the alternative sigma factor RpoN (σ54) promotes survival in the presence of tobramycin. The tobramycin-sensitive phenotype of logarithmic phase Δrpo...

The Multi-Dimensional Logarithmic Number System (MDLNS), with similar properties to the Logarithmic Number System (LNS), provides more degrees of freedom than the LNS by virtue of having two orthogonal bases and the ability to use multiple digits. Unlike the LNS, there is no direct functional relationship between binary/floating point representation and the MDLNS representation. Traditionally l...

Thermococcus kodakarensis possesses two chaperonins, CpkA and CpkB, and their expression is induced by the downshift and upshift, respectively, of the cell cultivation temperature. The expression levels of the chaperonins were examined by using specific antibodies at various cell growth temperatures in the logarithmic and stationary phases. At 60 degrees C, CpkA was highly expressed in both the...

In order to meet the users’ demand, bike sharing systems must be regularly rebalanced. The problem of balancing bike sharing systems (BBSS) is concerned with designing optimal tours and operating instructions for relocating bikes among stations to maximally comply with the expected future bike demands. In this paper, we tackle the BBSS by means of Constraint Programming: first, we introduce two...
