Thirteen cycles of rapidly alternating DNA synthesis and nuclear division follow the fertilisation of a Drosophila melanogaster egg. These cycles are unusual in at least two ways. Firstly, the syncytial division cycles lack the checkpoint that prevents entry into mitosis in the presence of unreplicated DNA. Thus injection of aphidicolin into embryos prevents DNA replication but has little effec...

We present a noisy rational expectations equilibrium model in which agents who possess private information regarding the profitability of a firm are required to provide advance disclosure of their trading activity. We analytically characterize an equilibrium and conduct a numerical analysis to evaluate the implications of advance disclosure relative to a market in which informed agents trade wi...

The syndrome of hereditary nephritis and perceptive deafness was first recognized by Alport (1927), although reports suggestive of this association date from the latter part of the i8th century. The syndrome has since been widened to include certain ocular defects, such as lenticonus, microspherophakia, and lens opacities, and about IOO families have been described in the world literature. In r...

The Feasibility Pump (fp) is probably the best known primal heuristic for mixed integer programming. The original work by Fischetti, Glover, and Lodi [24], which introduced the heuristic for 0-1 mixed-integer linear programs, has been succeeded by more than twenty follow-up publications which improve the performance of the fp and extend it to other problem classes. Year 2015 was the tenth anniv...

We prove the H-infinity error bounds for Lyapunov balanced truncation and for optimal Hankel norm approximation under the assumption that the Hankel operator is nuclear. This is an improvement of the result from Glover, Curtain, and Partington [SIAM J. Control Optim., 26 (1998), pp. 863–898], where additional assumptions were made. The proof is based on convergence of the Schmidt pairs of the H...

CONCLUSIONS A field-corrected imaging approach to sparsely-sampled fMRI data has been presented. The method exploits the specific low-rank structure of fMRI data via group sparsity and incorporates field inhomogeneity into iterative image reconstruction. Experimental results demonstrate the ability of the method in obtaining higher-resolution functional images and activation maps with artifact ...

(Glover et al . , 1988a, 1988b) and 1988 (Schiarizza et a l . , 1989d, 1989b). and extends the mapping eastward to include the eastem part of the Shulaps Range, the Yalakom and Bridge River valleys and the adjacent Camelsfoot Range. In addition, several weeks were spent re-examining critical areas in the Tyaughton Creek area and traversing the area south of Gun Creek in an effort to mesh our ...

We present a new calculation of the O(rx;) coefficient of the energy-energy correlation function (EEC) using two different schemes to cancel infrared and collinear poles. The numerical evaluation uses the phase space slicing and the hybrid subtraction method. Both schemes converge with decreasing slicing cut. The results are independent of the scheme for small cuts. For the pure phase space sli...

The unconstrained binary quadratic optimization problem (UQP) is known to be NP-hard and due to its computational challenge and application potential, it becomes more and more considered and involved by the recent research studies, including both exact and heuristic solution approaches. Our work is in line with that of Glover, Alidaee, Rego and Kochenberger (2002) who proposed one pass heuristi...
