We consider quasimodes on planar domains with a partially rectangular boundary. We prove that for any ǫ0 > 0, an O(λ0 ) quasimode must have L mass in the “wings” (in phase space) bounded below by λ for any δ > 0. The proof uses the author’s recent work on 0-Gevrey smooth domains to approximate quasimodes on C domains. There is an improvement for C and C domains.

Let D ( R be an unbounded domain and let B(t) be a Brownian motion in D with normal reflection at the boundary. We study the transcience/recurrence dichotomy, focusing mainly on domains of the form D = {(x, z) ∈ R : |z| < H(|x|)}, where d = l + m and H is a sufficiently regular function. This class of domains includes various horn-shaped domains and generalized slab domains.

HIV-1 Gag engages components of the ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) pathway via so-called L (late-assembly) domains to promote virus budding. Specifically, the PTAP (Pro-Thr-Ala-Pro)-type primary L domain of HIV-1 recruits ESCRT-I by binding to Tsg101 (tumour susceptibility gene 101), and an auxiliary LYPX(n)L (Leu-Tyr-Pro-Xaa(n)-Leu)-type L domain recruits the ESCRT-II...

NSD1, a novel 2588 amino acid mouse nuclear protein that interacts directly with the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of several nuclear receptors (NRs), has been identified and characterized. NSD1 contains a SET domain and multiple PHD fingers. In addition to these conserved domains found in both positive and negative Drosophila chromosomal regulators, NSD1 contains two distinct NR interaction doma...

The integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (alpha(L)beta(2)), which is known for its ability to mediate firm adhesion and migration, can also contribute to tethering and rolling in shear flow. The alpha(L) I domain can be mutationally locked with disulfide bonds into two distinct conformations, open and closed, which have high and low affinity for the ligand intercellular adhesion mo...

Abstract A data-driven modelling approach was applied to quantify the potential groundwater yield from weathered crystalline basement aquifers in West Africa, which are a strategic resource for achieving water and food security. To account possible geological control on aquifer productivity, seven major domains were identified based lithological, stratigraphic, structural characteristics of bas...

We argue that reading comprehension tests are not particularly suited for the evaluation of NLP systems. Reading comprehension tests are specifically designed to evaluate human reading skills, and these require vast amounts of world knowledge and common-sense reasoning capabilities. Experience has shown that this kind of full-fledged question answering (QA) over texts from a wide range of domai...

Liver disease affects health-related quality of life. The CLDQ is a liver disease specific questionnaire. This study attempted to translate the original CLDQ into Japanese and compare it with SF-36 in chronic liver disease patients, mainly chronic hepatitis C. The Japanese versions of CLDQ and SF-36 were administered to 120 CHC; 45 CHB; 29 NAFLD; 21 HCC post treatment and 50 healthy controls, b...

In this paper, we establish sharp two-sided estimates for the Green functions of non-symmetric diffusions with measure-valued drifts in bounded Lipschitz domains. As consequences of these estimates, we get a 3G type theorem and a conditional gauge theorem for these diffusions in bounded Lipschitz domains. Informally the Schrödinger-type operators we consider are of the form L + μ · ∇ + ν where ...
