Re-examination of the structure of pyridine coenzymes in solution by use of the 220-MHz high-frequency nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer indicates that there is primarily one folded structure that is in rapid equilibrium with an open form. Reduced DPN(+) and reduced analogs of DPN(+) exist predominantly with the B side of the dihydropyridine ring folded against the adenine moiety. (The ox...

Bow-tie antenna is one of wideband antennas [1]. It has been reported that the bow-tie antenna has been miniaturized by adding folded elements [2]. In this paper, it is shown that bending the bow-tie antenna with folded elements is effective method for miniaturization. The bent bow-tie antenna with folded elements can be more miniaturized than conventional bow-tie antenna with folded elements, ...

Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are among the most ubiquitous codes due to their good parameters as well as efficient encoding and decoding procedures. However, RS codes suffer from having a fixed length. In many applications where the length is static, the appropriate length can be obtained by an RS code by shortening or puncturing. Generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes are a generalization of RS codes...

Linear reaction-hyperbolic equations arise in the transport of neurofilaments and membrane-bound organelles in axons. The profile of the solution was shown by simulations to be approximately that of a traveling wave; this was also suggested by formal calculations (Reed et al., 1990). In this paper we prove such a result rigorously1.

By introducing a few simplifying assumptions we derive a simple condition for successful decoding using the Koetter–Vardy algorithm for soft-decision decoding of Reed–Solomon codes. We show that the algorithm has a significant advantage over hard decision decoding when the code rate is low, when two or more sets of received symbols have substantially different reliabilities, or when the number ...

The sedimentation properties of membrane-associated folded chromosomes prepared from Escherichia coli TAU-bar at 0 to 4 C were studied. Utilizing a modification of the procedure of Stonington and Pettijohn (1971), quantitative yields of membrane-associated folded chromosomes may be obtained. Folded chromosomes remained associated with the cell envelope during their replication and after complet...

The k-dimensional folded Petersen graph, FPk , is an iterative Cartesian product on the simple Petersen graph. As an essential component of folded Petersen cube, folded Petersen graph has many important properties. In this paper, we prove that the 3k-wide diameter and 3k-fault diameter of k-dimensional folded Petersen graph is either 2k + 1 or 2k + 2. Furthermore, we show that FPk is interval m...

the life table parameters of schizaphis graminum (rondani) (hemiptera: aphididae) on four commercial cultivars of wheat (kohdasht, pastor, tajan and zagros) were determined in laboratory conditions. fertility life table were constructed using age-specific survivorship (lx) and age-specific fecundity (mx) and subsequently analyzed using jackknife method and anova. there were significant differen...
