it is immaterial which value of z is used in (2). If (1) holds in a region of the s-plane, for example in an angle, ƒ(z) is said to be of exponential type c in that region. Functions of exponential type have been extensively studied, both for their own sake and for their applications. I shall discuss here a selection of their properties, chosen to illustrate how the restriction (1) on the growt...

PEP is a database of Predictions for Entire Proteomes. The database contains summaries of analyses of protein sequences from a range of organisms representing all three major kingdoms of life: eukaryotes, prokaryotes and archaea. All proteins publicly available for organisms were aligned against SWISS-PROT, TrEMBL and PDB. Additionally, the following annotations are provided: secondary structur...

Since this series is absolutely convergent everywhere in the plane, lanl must approach zero as n approaches infinity. Consequently, there exists for each a, an index n(a) for which lanl is a maximal coefficient. B. Lepson [3]1 raised the question of characterizing entire functions for whidi n (a) is bounded in a. 2 In the sequel we shall consider certain interesting variations of Lepson's probl...
