The interaction between cholesterol and phospholipids in bilayer membranes is important for the formation and maintenance of membrane structure and function. However, cholesterol does not interact favorably with all types of phospholipids and, for example, prefers more ordered sphingomyelins (SMs) over phosphatidylcholines (PCs). The reason for this preference is not clear. Here we have studied...

In previous work, we have shown howWadler’s original deforestation algorithm can be extended to handle higher-order programs. A higher-order treeless form of expression was defined to ensure the termination of this algorithm. Our higher-order algorithm was further extended by Seidl and Sørensen, and this extension was shown to remove some intermediate structures not removed by our algorithm (al...

‎In this article we discuss examples of fractal $omega$-operads‎. ‎Thus we show that there is an $omega$-operadic approach to explain existence of‎ ‎the globular set of globular setsfootnote{Globular sets are also called $omega$-graphs by the French School.}‎, ‎the reflexive globular set of reflexive globular sets‎, ‎the $omega$-magma of $omega$-magmas‎, ‎and also the reflexive $omega$-magma ...

Possibility and probability expressions, like possibly or probably, are frequently assumed to communicate that the probability of a proposition is above a certain threshold. Most previous empirical research on these expressions has focused on cases of known objective chance: if the true objective probability is given, would a speaker use possibly, probably or one of their kin? Here, we investig...

Our recent series of measurements at Brookhaven National Laboratory determined the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμ to a precision of 0.5 ppm. The final result—representing the average of five running periods using both positive and negative muons—is a±μ = 11 659 208(6) × 10 . It lies 2.7 standard deviations above the standard model expectation, which is based on updates given at this Workshop...

This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for the factorizability of higher order spectra of complex signals. Such a factorizability condition can be used to test if a complex signal can modelize the output of a linear and time invariant system driven by a stationary non gaussian white input. The condition developped here is based on the symmetries of higher order spectra and on ...
