Y1 if Y ′ 2 = Y2, e if Y ′ 2 = e. Then, Ỹ ′ 1 |{X = x} ∼ pY ′ 1 |X(ỹ ′ 1|x), i.e., Ỹ ′ 1 has the same conditional pmf as Y ′ 1 given X and X → Ỹ ′ 1 → Y ′ 2 form a Markov chain. Therefore, by definition, the erasure broadcast channel p(y 1, y ′ 2|x) is degraded (and hence less noisy as well as more capable). (b) Since it is degraded, by Theorem 5.2 in the text, the capacity region of the erasur...

CAPSULE Background: DDI2 and DDI3 are two uncharacterized identical genes found in budding yeast. Results: They encode novel cyanamide hydratases and are massively induced by cyanamide. Their deletion causes cellular sensitivity to cyanamide. Conclusion: The two genes function in cyanamide detoxification and are tightly regulated. Significance: This is the first attempt to understand the duplic...

A study was conducted to validate the previously reported growth response to cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) immunization in barrows and was extended to include gilts. Group-penned barrows and gilts were used to represent conditions in the swine industry. Thirty-two animals, 19 barrows and 13 gilts, were randomly assigned by sex to four pens and two treatments. The control groups were immun...

Exact answers to practically all chemical questions are, in principle, obtainable from solutions of this equation.3 Thus, Eq. (1.1) is the ultimate oracle of chemical knowledge. Equation (1.1) contains threemathematical entities: (i) theHamiltonian operator Ĥ , determined by the choice of chemical system; (ii) thewavefunctionΨ, describing the allowed spatial distribution of electrons and nuclei...
