We use a weak Gibbs property and a weak form of specification to derive level-2 large deviations principles for symbolic systems equipped with a large class of reference measures. This has applications to a broad class of coded systems, including β-shifts, S-gap shifts, and their factors. Our techniques are suitable for adaptation beyond the symbolic setting.

Depending on temperature, the modified Hodgkin-Huxley (MHH) equations exhibit a variety of dynamical behaviors, including intrinsic chaotic firing. We analyze synchronization in a large ensemble of MHH neurons that are interconnected with gap junctions. By evaluating tangential Lyapunov exponents we clarify whether the synchronous state of neurons is chaotic or periodic. Then, we evaluate trans...

Information on variations in crop yield among farmer fields in a specific area and theircausal factors is important for efficiently targeting efforts to increase production of the crop inthe target area. This study determined the yield variations and their causal factors for sugarcanegrown in the service area of a sugar mill in Northeast Thailand. Two villages with the dominantsandy and clayey ...

This research effort focuses on improving the flexibility of production engineering for manufacturing industry by means of providing technological alternatives. A new generation of NC simulators required supporting the decision making of production engineering. In this paper a conception of NC simulator trying to fill this gap is given. This is a step forward realising Virtual

Recent measurements of the diffractive deep-inelastic cross section are used to extract diffrac-tive parton densities of the proton. These are subsequently applied in models to predict the production of jets and open charm in the final state. A rapidity gap suppression factor for dijet production in diffractive photoproduction relative to diffractive deep-inelastic scattering is obtained using ...

The basidiomycetous smut fungus Ustilago trichophora RK089 produces malate from glycerol. De novo genome sequencing revealed a 20.7-Mbp genome (301 gap-closed contigs, 246 scaffolds). A comparison to the genome of Ustilago maydis 521 revealed all essential genes for malate production from glycerol contributing to metabolic engineering for improving malate production.

We analyze various perturbative mechanisms for the production of jet events containing rapidity gaps in e + e − annihilation at LEP200 energies. We found that the processes e + e − → γ * γ * , γ * Z, ZZ, W W → 4 jets generate gap events at an observable rate. We point out that LEP200 offers a unique opportunity for the study of gap events due to a smaller background of " fake-gaps " .
