It is known that the solutions of characteristic singular integral equations (SIEs) are expressed in terms of singular integrals of Cauchy type with weight functions w (x) = (1 + x)ν (1-x)μ, where ν = ± frac(1, 2), μ = ± frac(1, 2). New quadrature formulas (QFs) are presented to approximate the singular integrals (SIs) of Cauchy type for all solutions of characteristic SIE on the interval [-1, ...

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by the fungus Cercospora beticola (Sacc.), is the most destructive foliar pathogen of sugarbeet worldwide. Control measures include the use of resistant varieties and crop rotation, but timely fungicide applications are essential for CLS management. Resistance to sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides (FRAC group 3) has been increasing in C. beticola ...

We give a maximal independent set (MIS) algorithm that runs in $O(\log \log \Delta)$ rounds in the congested clique model, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the input graph. This improves upon the $O(\frac{\log(\Delta) \cdot \log \log \Delta}{\sqrt{\log n}} + \log \log \Delta )$ rounds algorithm of [Ghaffari, PODC '17], where $n$ is the number of vertices of the input graph. In the first ...

A quantile summary is a data structure that approximates to ε-relative error the order statistics of a much larger underlying dataset. In this paper we develop a randomized online quantile summary for the cash register data input model and comparison data domain model that uses O( 1 ε log 1 ε ) words of memory. This improves upon the previous best upper bound of O( 1 ε log 1 ε ) by Agarwal et. ...

‎we consider two commutativity ratios $pr(g)$ and $f(g)$ in a finite group $g$‎ ‎and examine the properties of $g$ when these ratios are `large'‎. ‎we show that‎ ‎if $pr(g) > frac{7}{24}$‎, ‎then $g$ is metabelian and we give threshold‎ ‎results in the cases where $g$ is insoluble and $g'$ is nilpotent‎. ‎we also‎ ‎show that if $f(g) > frac{1}{2}$‎, ‎then $f(g) = frac{n+1}{2n}$‎, ‎for some‎ ‎na...

Pore-forming toxins (PFT) are water-soluble proteins that possess the remarkable ability to self-assemble on the membrane of target cells, where they form pores causing cell damage. Here, we elucidate the mechanism of action of the haemolytic protein fragaceatoxin C (FraC), a α-barrel PFT, by determining the crystal structures of FraC at four different stages of the lytic mechanism, namely the ...

Let D be a division algebra such that D ⊗ D is a Noetherian algebra, then any division subalgebra of D is a finitely generated division algebra. Let ∆ be a finite set of commuting derivations or automorphisms of the division algebra D, then the group Ev(∆) of common eigenvalues (i.e. weights) is a finitely generated abelian group. Typical examples of D are the quotient division algebra Frac(D(X...
