Session-based communication has gained a widespread acceptance in practice as a means for developing safe communicating systems via structured interactions. In this paper, we investigate how these structured interactions are affected by reversibility, which provides a computational model allowing executed interactions to be undone. In particular, we provide a systematic study of the integration...

S defined by PONTECORVO (1958) , recombination is ". . . any process which Agives origin to cells or individuals associating in new ways two or more hereditary determinants in which their ancestors differed . . .". According to this definition, genetic transformations of bacteria constitute a special mode of recombination. In transformation a new combination of hereditary determinants is produc...

Economic and financial time series frequently exhibit time irreversible dynamics. For instance, there is considerable evidence of asymmetric fluctuations in many macroeconomic and financial variables, and certain game theoretic models of price determination predict asymmetric cycles in price series. In this paper, we make two primary contributions to the econometric literature on time reversibi...

End-product inhibition of acid production in Streptococcus mutans R9 was investigated by measuring effects of varying concentrations of H+ and of undissociated lactic or acetic acids on acid production rates in the pH stat. H+ caused purely uncompetitive inhibition (inhibition constant Kiu 0.018 mmol 1(-1). Lactic acid caused mixed inhibition with inhibition constants of Kiu 4.24 mmol 1(-1) and...

Results Data comprised 14 males, 35 females, mean age 54yrs (31-72), 82 % never-smokers. 44 had post bronchodilator studies. FEF75 or FEF25-75 < 65% were categorised as SAW disease. Pre bronchodilator (Pre-BD) Mean FEV1/ FVC was 78% (70-91%), however Mean FEF75 and FEF25-75 (% predicted) were 34.5% and 43.3% respectively. 6 patients had both, a reversibility in FEV1 >12% and increase by 200ml. ...

Ultrastable Potassium-Ion Storage In article number 2300046, Hsing-Yu Tuan and co-workers propose a Cu3BiS3 anode material with self-healing mechanism for potassium ion storage devices, which shows an electrochemical reconstruction of phase reversibility morphological reversibility.
