Garbage collection (GC) normally causes pause of execution. Parallel GC has a great potential for real time (non-disruptive) processing. A traditional parallel mark and sweep GC algorithm has, however, well known disadvantages. In this paper, we propose a new GC scheme called Partial Marking GC (PMGC) which is a valiant of generational GC. We implemented a Lisp interpreter with PMGC on a genera...

We consider the problem of interpolating scattered data in R 3 by an almost geometrically smooth GC 2 surface, where almost GC 2 means GC 2 except in a finite number of points (the vertices), where the surface is GC 1. A local method is proposed, based on employing so-called degenerate triangular Bernstein-B6zier patches. We give an analysis of quintic patches for GC I and patches of degree ele...

Kinase homology domain (KHD) phosphorylation is required for activation of guanylyl cyclase (GC)-A and -B. Phosphopeptide mapping identified multiple phosphorylation sites in GC-A and GC-B, but these approaches have difficulty identifying sites in poorly detected peptides. Here, a functional screen was conducted to identify novel sites. Conserved serines or threonines in the KHDs of phosphoryla...

Human transcription factor Sp1 contains three contiguous repeats of the C2H2-type zinc finger motif and binds to the decanucleotide sequence 5'-(G/T)GGGCGG(G/A)(G/A)(C/T)-3' (GC box). In order to determine whether the three-zinc finger peptide Sp1(530-623) has selectivity for sequence outside the GC box, we used a selection and amplification of binding experiment. The high affinity sequence gen...

It is controversially discussed whether human IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells, which carry somatically mutated Ig variable region (IgV) genes, are derived from germinal centres (GC) B cells or originate from another developmental pathway. GC composed of IgM(+)IgD(+) B cells, which co-express the CD70 surface marker, have been described in approximately 10% of tonsils. As IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells...
