We study the expressive power of restriction and its interplay with replication. We do this by considering several syntactic variants of CCS! (CCS with replication instead of recursion) which differ from each other in the use of restriction with respect to replication. We consider three syntactic variations of CCS! which do not allow the use of an unbounded number of restrictions: CCS−!ν ! is t...

Precise coordination between the development of the oocyte and the ovarian follicle is essential in order to provide an egg that is fully competent to undergo fertilisation and embryo development. A key component of this co-ordination is changing patterns of gene expression and protein synthesis by various populations of granulosa cells throughout follicular development. There are two populatio...

Lack of climate policy and CO2 markets along with a global economic slowdown suggest that we need to rethink our approach to demonstrating CCS at a commercial scale. Austerity measures make it likely that public funding will be tight in coming years, and there is a striking need to ensure that limited funds are spent optimally. Quantitative tools exist for aiding decision making under uncertain...

The role of mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) signaling in estrogen receptor positive (ER(+)) MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells is not well understood. We depleted MEK by cotransfection of MEK1 and MEK2 siRNA duplexes in a MCF-7 derived line (MCF-7/ lacZ, ML-20) and determined its effect on serum, 17beta-estradiol (E(2)), and growth factor induced DNA synth...

Databases and analysis tools currently being used to study carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) options are managed by diverse organizations and are heterogeneous in format. Tools to study the various components of a CCS system have been developed in several fields including chemistry, geology, and economics. Data being used to run analyses are being obtained from an equally diverse set of ...

Cryptocurrencies (CCs) become more interesting for institutional investors’ strategic asset allocation and will be a fixed component of professional portfolios in future. This class differs from established assets especially terms the severe manifestation statistical parameters. The question arises whether CCs with similar key figures exist. On this basis, core market incorporating comparable p...

Busi et al [8] showed that CCS! (CCS with replication instead of recursion) is Turing powerful by providing an encoding of Random Access Machines (RAMs) which preserves and reflects convergence (i.e., the existence of terminating computations). The encoding uses an unbounded number of restrictions arising from having restriction operators under the scope of replication. We study the expressive ...

Abstract Background The long-term consequences of childhood cancer have received increasing attention due to the growing number survivors over past decades. However, insurance hardships are mostly unknown. This study explored qualitatively, in a sample (CCS), (i) experiences and needs CCS living Switzerland with special focus on related insurance; (ii) views law experts experience cancer. Metho...

BACKGROUND In the past twenty years, codeine-containing cough syrups (CCS) was recognized as a new type of addictive drugs. However, the exact neurobiologic mechanisms underlying CCS-dependence are still ill-defined. The aims of this study are to identify CCS-related modulations of neural activity during the resting-state in CCS-dependent individuals and to investigate whether these changes of ...
