A Public Disclosure Program (PDP) is compared to a traditional environmental regulation (exemplified by a tax/subsidy) in a simple dynamic framework. A PDP aims at revealing the environmental record of firms to the public. This information affects its image (goodwill or brand equity), and ultimately its profit. In our model, this impact is endogenous, i.e., a firm polluting less than its prescr...

Bovine pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP) is a Mg2+-dependent and Ca2+-stimulated heterodimer that is a member of the protein phosphatase 2C family and is localized to mitochondria. Insight into the function of the regulatory subunit of PDP (PDPr) has been gained. It decreases the sensitivity of the catalytic subunit of PDP (PDPc) to Mg2+. The apparent Km of PDPc for Mg2+ is increased abo...

In this paper, we propose commonsense knowledge enhanced embeddings (KEE) for solving the Pronoun Disambiguation Problems (PDP). The PDP task we investigate in this paper is a complex coreference resolution task which requires the utilization of commonsense knowledge. This task is a standard first round test set in the 2016 Winograd Schema Challenge1. In this task, traditional linguistic featur...

Expression of the PSR132 protein from Dianthus caryophyllus (carnation, clover pink) is induced in response to ethylene production associated with petal senescence, and thus the protein is named petal death protein (PDP). Recent work has established that despite the annotation of PDP in sequence databases as carboxyphosphoenolpyruvate mutase, the enzyme is actually a C-C bond cleaving lyase exh...

By inserting the CB1 paratope-derived peptide (PDP) from the anti-CD4 13B8.2 antibody binding pocket into each of the three exposed loops of the protein inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (PIN), we have combined the anti-CD4 specificity of the selected PDP with the stability, ease of expression/purification, and the known molecular architecture of the phylogenetically well-conserved PI...

We describe how to control the cumulative use of distributed grid resources by using coordination aware policy decision points (coordinated PDPs) and an SQL database to hold “coordination” data. When access to a resource is granted, obligations in the security policy ensure that the coordination database is updated. The coordination database is a normal grid service, thereby providing distribut...

This paper illustrates the idea of parallel distributed parsing (PDP), which allows us to integrate lexical and sublexical analyses. PDP is proposed for providing a new model of efficient, information-rich parses that can remedy the data sparseness problem.

Fiber type specificity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) phosphatase (PDP) was determined in fed (CON) and 48-h food-deprived (FD) rats. PDP activity and isoform protein content were determined in soleus (slow-twitch oxidative), red gastrocnemius (RG; fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic), and white gastrocnemius (WG; fast-twitch glycolytic) muscles. When normalized for mitochondrial volume, there wa...

The pupose of this paper is modeling of Partial Digest Problem (PDP) as a mathematical programming problem. In this paper we present a new viewpoint of PDP. We formulate the PDP as a continuous optimization problem and develope a method to solve this problem. Finally we constract a linear programming model for the problem with an additional constraint. This later model can be solved by the simp...
