ABSTRACT The presence of some X-ray sources in the Galactic Centre region which show variability, but do not outbursts over a decade monitoring has been used to argue for large population stellar mass black holes this region. A core element arguments that these objects are accreting is claim neutron stars (NSs) low-mass binaries (LMXBs) have long transient recurrence times. We demonstrate paper...

Mammalian splicing factor 1 (SF1; also mammalian branch point binding protein [mBBP]; hereafter SF1/mBBP) specifically recognizes the seven-nucleotide branch point sequence (BPS) located at 3' splice sites and participates in the assembly of early spliceosomal complexes. SF1/mBBP utilizes a "maxi-K homology" (maxi-KH) domain for recognition of the single-stranded BPS and requires a cooperative ...

In this paper we prove that in the high temperature region of the SherringtonKirkpatrick model for a typical realization of the disorder the weighted average of spins ∑ i≤N tiσi will be approximately Gaussian provided that maxi≤N |ti|/ ∑ i≤N t 2 i is small.

MAXI J1659−152 is a bright X-ray transient black-hole candidate binary system discovered in September 2010. We report here on MAXI, RXTE, Swift, and XMM-Newton observations during its 2010/2011 outburst. We find that during the first one and a half week of the outburst the X-ray light curves display drops in intensity at regular intervals, which we interpret as absorption dips. About three week...

Let $G$ be a weighted digraph, $s$ and $t$ be two vertices of $G$, and $t$ is reachable from $s$. The logical $s$-$t$ min-cut (LSTMC) problem states how $t$ can be made unreachable from $s$ by removal of some edges of $G$ where (a) the sum of weights of the removed edges is minimum and (b) all outgoing edges of any vertex of $G$ cannot be removed together. If we ignore the second constraint, ca...
