Yolk proteins purified from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, from the frog Xenopus laevis, and from chicken eggs all have the unexpected property of binding strongly and preferentially to a left-handed Z-DNA probe, brominated poly(dG-dC). We estimate that the nematode proteins bind to Z-DNA with an association constant of at least 10(4) (M-1) and that this association constant is at least 4...

Let E be a real Banach space and let A : E → E be a Lipschitzian generalized strongly accretive operator. Let z ∈ E and x0 be an arbitrary initial value in E for which the steepest descent approximation scheme is defined by xn+1 = xn − αn(Ayn − z), yn = xn − βn(Axn − z), n = 0, 1, 2 . . . , where the sequences {αn} and {βn} satisfy the following conditions: (i) 0 ≤ αn, βn ≤ 1, (ii) ∞

Strains accomodated in the genus Zoophthora are very sensitive to osmotic value of their habitat. Hipertonical molarity of buffers and NaCl decreases the growth, but this effect strongly depends on the species tested and on the kind of buffer. In 0.66% phtalan buffer the growth of Z. lanceolata is completely stopped whereas Z. psyllae and Z. aphrophora is inhibited only in 50% comparing to the ...

Redshift obeys adiabatic invariance. From this fact it follows that not only the individual photons are dimmed by a factor of z + 1 (if z is the redshift in percent), but the photon flux is reduced by the same factor once more. Hence the luminosity of any source is in the presence of redshift dimmed by a factor of (z+1). This model-independent result possibly "explains away" the excess dimming ...

We present the first result of a survey for strong galaxy-galaxy lenses in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images. SDSS J082728.70+223256.4 was selected as a lensing candidate using selection criteria based on the color and positions of objects in the SDSS photometric catalog. Follow-up imaging and spectroscopy showed this object to be a lensing system. The lensing galaxy is an elliptical at z ...

Recently, we have elucidated the physics of electron fractionalization in strongly interacting electron systems using a Z2 gauge theory formulation. Here we discuss the connection with the earlier U(1) gauge theory approaches based on the slave boson mean field theory. In particular, we identify the relationship between the holons and Spinons of the slave-boson theory and the true physical exci...

An orientation of a graph G is a mod(2s + 1)-orientation if under this orientation, the net out-degree at every vertex is congruent to zero mod(2s + 1). If for any function b : V (G) → Z2s+1 satisfying  v∈V (G) b(v) ≡ 0 (mod 2s + 1), G always has an orientation D such that the net out-degree at every vertex v is congruent to b(v) mod (2s + 1), then G is strongly Z2s+1-connected. In this paper,...

I review constraints on the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson from high energy electroweak (EW) precision data. The same data set also strongly limits various mixing effects of hypothetical extra neutral gauge bosons (Z′) with the ordinary Z. I also discuss low energy precision measurements which are sensitive to other aspects of Z′ physics, such as the direct exchange amplitude and the flavor or...

We report the discovery of five bright strong gravitationally lensed galaxies at $3 < z 4$: COOLJ0101$+$2055 ($z = 3.459$), COOLJ0104$-$0757 3.480$), COOLJ0145$+$1018 3.310$), COOLJ0516$-$2208 3.549$), and COOLJ1356$+$0339 3.753$). These have magnitudes $r_{\rm AB}, z_{\rm AB} 21.81$ mag are by galaxy clusters $0.26 1$. This sample nearly doubles number known with extended arcs 4$. characterize...

We report the discovery of an intrinsically faint, quintuply-imaged, dusty galaxy MACS0600-z6 at a redshift $z=$6.07 viewed through cluster MACSJ0600.1-2008 ($z$=0.46). A $\simeq4\sigma$ dust detection is seen 1.2mm as part ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS), on-going Large program, and secured via [C II] 158 $\mu$m emission described in companion paper. In addition, spectroscopic follow-up wit...
