Cysteine-string protein (CSP) is an extensively palmitoylated DnaJ-family chaperone, which exerts an important neuroprotective function. Palmitoylation is required for the intracellular sorting and function of CSP, and thus it is important to understand how this essential modification of CSP is regulated. Recent work identified 23 putative palmitoyl transferases containing a conserved DHHC doma...

Marketers and investors face a heated, provocative debate over whether excelling in social responsibility initiatives hurts or benefits firms financially. This study develops a theoretical framework that predicts (1) the impact of corporate social performance (CSP) on firm-idiosyncratic risk and (2) the role of two strategic marketing levers, advertising and research and development (R&D), in e...

In this paper we investigate the effect that media visibility has on Corporate Social Performance (CSP). Drawing on agenda-setting theory from the field of communication studies, and the business and society literature, we develop and test two hypotheses regarding the impact media visibility has on the firm’s CSP. Our findings indicate that while media visibility does have a positive impact on ...

CSP-OZ is an integrated formal method which combines the state-oriented method Object-Z with the process algebra CSP, thereby allowing a description of static as well as dynamic aspects of a system. Checking correctness of CSP-OZ specifications can be done via a translation into (FDR-)CSP, on which automatic verification can be performed with the tool FDR if the resulting CSP process is not too...

This contribution aims to combine hybrid automata with CSP establishing a connection between the elements of hybrid automata and CSP processes using an approach for the decomposition of hybrid systems. As a result we obtain a transformation from hybrid automata into CSP processes, written in Hoare-CSP in the untimed parts and in real-time CSP or HCSP in the timed parts. These processes provide ...

The synaptic vesicle-associated cysteine-string protein (CSP) is important for synaptic transmission. Previous studies revealed multiple defects at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of csp null-mutant Drosophila, but whether these defects are independent of each other or mechanistically linked through J domain mediated-interactions with heat-shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70) has not been establishe...

Promise Constraint Satisfaction Problems (\(\mathrm{PCSP}\)) were proposed recently by Brakensiek and Guruswami as a framework to study approximations for (\(\mathrm{CSP}\)). Informally \(\mathrm{PCSP}\) asks distinguish between whether given instance of \(\mathrm{CSP}\) has solution or not even specified relaxation can be satisfied. All currently known tractable \(\mathrm{PCSP}\)s reduced in n...
