Chemical structures of organic compounds are characterized numerically by a variety of structural descriptors computed either from the molecular graph or from the three-dimensional (3D) molecular geometry. Extensive use of such structural descriptors or topological indices has been made in drug design, screening of chemical databases, similarity and diversity assessment, and quantitative struct...

We study the ultraviolet problem for quantum electrodynamics on a three dimensional torus. We start with the lattice gauge theory on a toroidal lattice and seek to control the singularities as the lattice spacing is taken to zero. This is done by following the flow of a sequence of renormalization group transformations. The analysis is facilitated by splitting the space of gauge fields into int...

The interior of chlorosomes of green bacteria forms an unusual antenna system organized without proteins. The steady-spectra (absorption, circular dichroism, and linear dichroism) have been modeled using the Frenkel Hamiltonian for the large tubular aggregates of bacteriochlorophylls with geometries corresponding to those proposed for Chloroflexus aurantiacus and Chlorobium tepidum chlorosomes....

A recent report suggests that differences in aerobic capacity exist between concentric and eccentric muscle action in human muscle (T. W. Ryschon, M. D. Fowler, R. E. Wysong, A. R. Anthony, and R. S. Balaban. J. Appl. Physiol. 83: 867-874, 1997). This study compared oxidative response, in the form of phosphocreatine (PCr) resynthesis rates, with matched levels of metabolic strain (i.e., changes...

These proceedings contain the manuscripts from the Second International Congress on Seafood Technology on Sustainable, Innovative and Healthy Seafood held in Anchorage, the United States of America from 10 to 13 May 2010. The University of Alaska organized the meeting in collaboration with the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department. The congress reviewed developments related to: • internation...

The following excerpts are from an interview with Marvin Minsky which took place at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts, on January 23rd, 1991. The interview, which is included in its entirety as a Foreword in the book Understanding Music with AI: Perspectives on Music Cognition (edited by Mira Balaban, Kemal Ebcioglu, and Otto Laske), is a conversation about music, its peculiar features as a ...

The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) putatively involves a compromised blood-brain barrier (BBB). In particular, the importance of brain-to-blood transport of brain-derived metabolites across the BBB has gained increasing attention as a potential mechanism in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as AD, which is characterized by the aberrant polymerization and accumulatio...
