A Jumping Petri Net ((18], 12]), JP T N for short, is deened as a classical net which can spontaneously jump from a marking to another one. In 18] it has been shown that the reachability problem for JP T N 's is undecidable, but it is decidable for nite JP T N 's (FJPTN). In this paper we establish some speciic properties and investigate the computational power of such nets, via the interleavin...

The exact expression for the exchange-correlation energy functional Exc@r ,jp# of the current-density functional theory ~CDFT! is derived by means of the coupling-constant integration technique. It contains the coupling-constant-averaged pair correlation function, which is a functional of the electron density r(r) and paramagnetic current density jp(r). On the basis of this expression, the loca...

Jieduquyuziyin prescription (JP), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, has been widely used for the clinical treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the complex chemical constituents of JP and the multifactorial pathogenesis of SLE make research on the therapeutic mechanism of JP in SLE challenging. In this paper, a serum metabolomics approach based on rapid reso...

Flame control, particularly at very lean conditions, is a critical requirement for external combustion power sources such as thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic generators. The availability of in-situ produced hydrogen from JP-8 fuel reforming presents a potential supply of hydrogen on the battlefield without adding a second fuel to the logistics system. Dual firing of hydrogen with light hyd...

Malaria is caused by an intracellular protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium. The use of chemotherapy, the foremost tool available for the control of the disease, has been challenged in the last decades by the development and spread of drug resistance among malaria parasites. A clear understanding behind the mechanisms of parasite resistance is required for the improvement of treatment effi...

Inspired by the LHCb observation of hidden-charm pentaquarks, i.e., Pc(4312), Pc(4440), and Pc(4457) in J/ψp invariant mass spectrum, a calculation scattering cross-section was performed using quark-delocalization color screening model. The results show that Pc(4312) can be identified as molecular state ΣcD with JP=12−. two-peak structure reproduced around 4450 MeV, which corresponds to Pc(4440...

Juvenile periodontitis (JP) is a disease characterized by severe gingival infections. PMN from some JP patients exhibit abnormal chemotactic responsiveness when challenged with the synthetic formyl peptide, FMLP. While investigating PMN function in JP, we found a patient in whom abnormal PMN chemotactic responses to FMLP were associated with a defective population of PMN formyl peptide receptor...

We use quantum invariants to define a 3-manifold invariant jp which lies in the non-negative integers. We relate jp to the Heegard genus, and the cut number. We show that jp is an invariant of weak p-congruence.
