We calculate the logarithmic contributions to the massive Wilson coefficients for deep-inelastic scattering in the asymptotic region Q2 m2 to 3-loop order in the fixed flavor number scheme and present the corresponding expressions for the massive operator matrix elements needed in the variable flavor number scheme. Explicit expressions are given in Mellin N -space.

We propose a computable Galois-connection between Myers-Briggs’ Type Indicators (MBTIs), the most widely-used personality measure for non-psychiatric populations (based on C.G. Jung’s personality types), and Szondi’s personality profiles (SPPs), a less well-known but, as we show, finer personality measure for psychiatric as well as non-psychiatric populations (conceived as a unification of the ...

Rice stripe disease, caused by Rice stripe virus (RSV), is one of the most serious rice diseases in temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Since RSV is not transmissible mechanically, an insect transmission test was the original basis for identification of the viral population and cultivar resistance. A simple, rapid and reliable method is described by which virus-free small brown plan...

The single-period problem (SPP), also known as the newsboy or news-vendor problem, is to ®nd the order quantity which maximizes the expected pro®t in a single period probabilistic demand framework. Interest in the SPP remains unabated and many extensions to it have been proposed in the last decade. These extensions include dealing with di€erent objectives and utility functions, di€erent supplie...

The purpose of the paper is twofold. I first outline a philosophical theory of concepts based on conceptual role semantics. This approach is explicitly intended as a framework for the study and explanation of conceptual change in science. Then I point to the close similarities between this philosophical framework and the theory theory of concepts, suggesting that a convergence between psycholog...

Direct numerical simulation of self-propelled swimming of three dimensional bionic fish and fish school in a viscous flow in a tank are investigated. The swimming rule and the profile of 3D fish from previous experimental measurements of living fish are used in the study. A parallel software package for the 3D moving boundary problem is obtained, which combines the adaptive multi-grid finite vo...

Plant reoviruses are known to exploit virion-packaging tubules formed by virus-encoding non-structural proteins for viral spread in insect vectors. Tubules are propelled by actin-based tubule motility (ABTM) to overcome membrane or tissue barriers in insect vectors. To further understand which insect factors mediate ABTM, we utilized yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation...
