The generalized Zakharov–Shabat systems with complex-valued Cartan elements and the systems studied by Caudrey, Beals and Coifman (CBC systems) and their gauge equivalent are studies. This includes: the properties of fundamental analytical solutions (FAS) for the gauge-equivalent to CBC systems and the minimal set of scattering data; the description of the class of nonlinear evolutionary equati...

Fallbasiertes Planen kann durch die Integration von fallbasierten und generativen Techniken realisiert werden. Prodigy/Analogy (Carnegie Mellon University), CAPlan/CbC und PARIS (beide Universität Kaiserslautern) sind Beispiele für solche Systeme. Hierbei werden Planungsfälle aufbewahrt und ausgewählt, um die Suche, die ein generativer Problemlöser durchführt, zu steuern. Während Prodigy/Analog...

We present an update of the Pelican MAC function, called Pelican 2.0. Both versions have the Alred construction [5] and are based on Rijndael. they are a factor 2.5 more efficient than CBC-MAC with Rijndael, while providing a comparable claimed security level. The difference between Pelican 2.0 and the original version is that the initial value changes from the all-zero string to another consta...

In this paper, the authors discuss their experiences implementing, operating, and optimizing a content delivery network for Canada’s largest news website, that of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). The site receives over one million unique visitors per day. Although CBC uses the Akamai Aqua Platform (formerly EdgeSuite) as its content delivery network of choice, the lessons described ...

Balance of physiological levels of iron is essential for every organism. In Aspergillus fumigatus and other fungal pathogens, the transcription factor HapX mediates adaptation to iron limitation and consequently virulence by repressing iron consumption and activating iron uptake. Here, we demonstrate that HapX is also essential for iron resistance via activating vacuolar iron storage. We identi...

In this study we investigated whether in plants, like in mammals, components of the nuclear cap-binding protein complex (CBC) are involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). We selected several genes producing at least two alternatively spliced mRNA variants: one with a premature termination codon (PTC+) and another without it (PTC-). For each gene the PTC+/PTC- ratio was calculated using R...

The flow of genetic information from DNA to protein requires polymerase-II-transcribed RNA characterized by the presence of a 5'-cap. The cap-binding complex (CBC), consisting of the nuclear cap-binding protein (NCBP) 2 and its adaptor NCBP1, is believed to bind all capped RNA and to be necessary for its processing and intracellular localization. Here we show that NCBP1, but not NCBP2, is requi...

We demonstrate the first small area emitter (1.4 × 3 μm) N-p-n AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs fabricated with Nimplanted subcollectors in a high volume manufacturing environment. The subcollector region was defined by multiple N implants of various doses and energies on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate, and the remaining HBT layers were grown by MOCVD. To evaluate the impacts of Cbc reduction, devices with v...

A complete blood cell count (CBC) is one of the most common laboratory tests in medicine. For example, at our institution alone, approximately 1800 CBCs are ordered every day, and 10% to 20% of results are reported as abnormal. Therefore, it is in every clinician's interest to have some understanding of the specific test basics as well as a structured action plan when confronted with abnormal C...
