Sodium caseinates prepared from bovine, sheep, goat, pig, buffalo or human milk were hydrolyzed by a partially purified proteinase of Lactobacillus helveticus PR4. Peptides in each hydrolysate were fractionated by reversed-phase fast-protein liquid chromatography. The fractions which showed the highest angiotensin I-converting-enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory or antibacterial activity were sequenced by ...

a common method to determine the order of minimal realization of a continuous linear time invariant descriptor system is to decompose it into slow and fast subsystems using the weierstrass canonical form. the weierstrass decomposition should be avoided because it is generally an ill-conditioned problem that requires many complex calculations especially for high-dimensional systems. the present ...

The second variation operator of minimal submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds (the Jacobi operator) carries information about stability properties of the submanifold when it is thought of as a critical point for the area functional. When the ambient Riemannian manifold is a sphere S, Simons [S] characterized the totally geodesic submanifolds as the minimal submanifolds of S either with the lowe...

We study the complexity of Banach space valued integration in the randomized setting. We are concerned with r-times continuously differentiable functions on the d-dimensional unit cube Q, with values in a Banach space X, and investigate the relation of the optimal convergence rate to the geometry of X. It turns out that the n-th minimal errors are bounded by cn−r/d−1+1/p if and only if X is of ...

We propose and investigate a large class of models possessing resonance factorized S-matrices. The associated Casimir energy describes a rich pattern of renormalization group trajectories related to flows in the coset models based on the simply laced Lie Algebras. From a simplest resonance S-matrix, satisfying the “φ3-property”, we predict new flows in non-unitary minimal models. Pacs numbers: ...

BACKGROUND Information about the clinical and clinicopathologic aspects of cerebrospinal nematodiasis (CN) in camelids is limited. HYPOTHESIS Clinical and therapeutic variables will be identified as factors predictive of survival. ANIMALS Client-owned camelids suspected of having CN admitted to Purdue University between 1995 and 2015. METHODS A retrospective study was performed. A diagnos...

Let G be a simple graph of order n and minimal degree > cn (0 < c < 1=2). We prove that (1) There exist n0 1⁄4 n0(c) and k 1⁄4 k(c) such that if n > n0 and G contains a cycle Ct for some t > 2k ; then G contains a cycle Ct 2s for some positive s < k ; (2) Let G be 2-connected and nonbipartite. For each " (0 < " < 1), there exists n0 1⁄4 n0(c; ") such that if n n0 then G contains a cycle Ct for ...

Geranyl nitrile (GN) and citronellyl nitrile (CN) are fragrance components used in consumer and personal care products. Differences in the clastogenicity of these two terpenes are postulated to result from differential biotransformation, presumably involving the conjugated nitrile moiety. The metabolic clearance and biotransformation of GN and CN were compared in primary hepatocytes from mice, ...

Link prediction has been widely used to extract missing information, identify spurious interactions, evaluate network evolving mechanisms, and so on. Wherein, similarity based algorithms have become the mainstream. However, most of them take into account the contributions of each common neighbor equally to the connection likelihood of two nodes. This paper proposes a model for link prediction, ...
