Let E be an elliptic curve over Q, with L-function LE(s). For any primitive Dirichlet character χ, let LE(s, χ) be the L-function of E twisted by χ. In this paper, we use random matrix theory to study vanishing of the twisted L-functions LE(s, χ) at the central value s = 1. In particular, random matrix theory predicts that there are infinitely many characters of order 3 and 5 such that LE(1, χ)...

The 289 amino acid-residue sequence of the Fe-protein from the Azotobacter vinelandii nitrogenase complex was determined using peptides derived from trypsin, Staphylococcus aureus protease, and cyanogen bromide cleavage. S. aureus protease hydrolyzed one of four Gly-Lys bonds, as well as the usual Glu-X and AspX bonds suggesting a secondary specificity for this protease. The A. vinelandii Fe-pr...

The coastal plain of the Rio Grande do Sul state (RS) in southern Brazil, has an enormous lagoon complex in its southern portion formed by Patos Lagoon, Mirim Lagoon, Mangueira Lagoon and several other smaller lakes. This system was originated from successive transgression and regression cycles, which took place since the upper Pleistocene (Vilwoock, 1984). Patos Lagoon is a huge chocked lagoon...
