Avoiding Degeneracy in Multidimensional Unfolding by Combinatorial Optimization

Unfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5

Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...

A Note on the Triple-Zero Linear Degeneracy: Normal Forms, Dynamical and bifurcation Behaviors of an Unfolding

This paper is devoted to the analysis of bifurcations in a three-parameter unfolding of a linear degeneracy corresponding to a triple-zero eigenvalue. We carry out the study of codimensiontwo local bifurcations of equilibria (Takens–Bogdanov and Hopf-zero) and show that they are nondegenerate. This allows to put in evidence the presence of several kinds of bifurcations of periodic orbits (secon...

Degeneracy in the Length Spectrum for Metric Graphs

In this note we show that the length spectrum for metric graphs exhibits a very high degree of degeneracy. More precisely, we obtain an asymptotic for the number of pairs of closed geodesics (or closed cycles) with the same metric length.

Influence of heparin molecular size on the induction of C-terminal unfolding in β2-microglobulin

Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is characterized by accumulation of amyloid β2-microglobulin (β2m) in the interstitial matrix. Matrix substances such as heparin have reportedly been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of dialysis-related amyloidosis. In clinical setting of hemodialysis, two types of heparin, i.e., high and low molecular heparin (H.M.H. and L.M.H.) have been routinely use...
