We find new decoupling limits of N = 4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) on R×S3 with gauge group SU(N). These decoupling limits lead to decoupled theories that are much simpler than the full N = 4 SYM but still contain many of its interesting features. The decoupling limits correspond to being in a near-critical region, near a point with zero temperature and critical chemical potentials. The new decoupli...

Lateral transfer of bacterial plasmids is thought to play an important role in microbial evolution and population dynamics. However, this assumption is based primarily on investigations of medically or agriculturally important bacterial species. To explore the role of lateral transfer in the evolution of bacterial systems not under intensive, human-mediated selection, we examined the associatio...

We study N = 4 SYM on R × S3 and theories with 16 supercharges arising as its consistent truncations. These theories include the plane wave matrix model, N = 4 SYM on R× S2 and N = 4 SYM on R× S/Zk, and their gravity duals were studied by Lin and Maldacena. We make a harmonic expansion of the original N = 4 SYM on R×S3 and obtain each of the truncated theories by keeping a part of the Kaluza-Kl...

The patterns of O-acetylation of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) from the Sym plasmid-cured derivatives of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain LPR5, R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain ANU843 and R. leguminosarum bv. viciae strain 248 were determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Beside a site indicative of the chromosomal background, these strains have one site of O-acetylation in commo...

Knowledge about signaling in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses is currently restricted to the common symbiosis (SYM) signaling pathway discovered in legumes. This pathway includes calcium as a second messenger and regulates both AM and rhizobial symbioses. Both monocotyledons and dicotyledons form symbiotic associations with AM fungi, and although they differ markedly in the organization of...

Outlier detection is an important task in data mining because outliers can be either useful knowledge or noise. Many statistical methods have been applied to detect outliers, but they usually assume a given distribution of data and it is difficult to deal with high dimensional data. The Statistical Learning Theory (SLT) established by Vapnik et aI. provides a new way to overcome these drawbacks...

We derive harmonic superspaces for N = 2, 3, 4 SYM theory in four dimensions from superstring theory. The pure spinors in ten dimensions are dimensionally reduced and yield the harmonic coordinates. Two anticommuting BRST charges implement Grassmann analyticity and harmonic analyticity. The string field theory action produces the action and field equations for N=3 SYM theory in harmonic supersp...

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be an open and bounded set with Lipschitz boundary outward unit normal $\nu$. For $1<p<\infty$ we establish improved version of the generalized $L^p$-Korn inequality for incompatible tensor fields $P$ in new Banach space $$ W^{1,\,p,\,r}_0(\operatorname{dev}\operatorname{sym}\operatorname{Curl}; \Omega,\mathbb R^{3\times3}) = \{ P \in L^p(\Omega,\mathbb \mid \o...

SYM-1219, a novel oral granule formulation of secnidazole, is under development as single-dose treatment for bacterial vaginosis. This 4-way, randomized, crossover study evaluated the effects of SYM-1219 on electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters in 52 healthy subjects. Subjects were administered single doses of SYM-1219, 2 g (proposed therapeutic dose), 6 g (supratherapeutic dose), placebo, and ...
