Two cardioacceleratory peptides from the corpora cardiaca of Periplaneta americana have been purified by gel filtration and reversed-phase liquid chromatography, Based on analysis of the intact factors and their chymotryptic fragments, we have assigned the primary structure of these octapeptides as pGlu-Val-Asn-Phe-Ser-Pro-Asn-Trp-NH2, designated periplanetin CC-1, and pGlu-Leu-Thr-Phe-Thr-Pro-...

The Lagrangian (action) formulation of the Chalker-Coddington network model for plateauplateau transitions in quantum Hall effect is presented based on a model of fermions hopping on Manhattan Lattice (ML). The dimensionless Landauer resistance is considered and its average is calculated over the random U(1) phases with constant distribution on the circle. The Lagrangian of the resultant model ...

Cross-lingual taxonomy alignment (CLTA) refers to mapping each category in the source taxonomy of one language onto a ranked list of most relevant categories in the target taxonomy of another language. Recently, vector similarities depending on bilingual topic models have achieved the state-of-the-art performance on CLTA. However, these models only model the textual context of categories, but i...

We propose an analytical framework that optimizes the performance of various Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) schemes in wireless packet data systems. The optimization framework lends itself to maximizing the user throughput while the redundancy size per retransmission, the packet error rate, and the mapping of signal to interference plus noise ratios (SINR) into modulation and coding sch...

An automated method for two-dimensional spatial depiction (mapping) of quantitative physiological tissue characteristics derived from contrast-enhanced MRI was applied to a model of inflammatory disease represented by antigen-induced arthritis of the temporomandibular joint in the rabbit. Specifically, an established two-compartment kinetic model of unidirectional mass transport was implemented...

Terrain attributes derived from digital elevation models have been used widely for mapping soil organic matter (SOM). Among these attributes, the topographic wetness index (TWI), an index for quantitatively indicating the balance between water accumulation and drainage conditions at the local scale, has been shown to correlate with SOM. However, TWIs used in most studies are calculated using a ...
