We present a simple and e cient dictionary with worst case constant lookup time, equaling the theoretical performance of the classic dynamic perfect hashing scheme of Dietzfelbinger et al. (Dynamic perfect hashing: Upper and lower bounds. SIAM J. Comput., 23(4):738 761, 1994). The space usage is similar to that of binary search trees, i.e., three words per key on average. The practicality of th...

This work concern an extension of the asymptotic compensation problem in hyperbolic systems. We introduce and characterize the notion of asymptotic remediability, which consists to compensate asymp-totically a disturbance by a convenient choice of actuators (efficient actuators). We also study the relationship between these different notions and asymptotic controllability as well as strategic a...

The complex patterns observed in experiments on suspensions of swimming cells undergoing bioconvection have fascinated biologists, physicists and mathematicians alike for over a century. Theoretical models developed over the last few decades have shown a strong similarity with Rayleigh–Bénard thermal convection, albeit with a richer dynamical behaviour due to the orientational degrees of freedo...

Understanding farmers’ intentions to use agricultural green production technologies (AGPTs) is essential for reducing pollution. Drawing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study analyzes impacts of government regulation and social network AGPTs adoption behavior. Field research 738 responses in China revealed that were positively related behavior, effects mediated by perceived usefu...

Background While immune checkpoint blockade therapy has improved progression-free survival in patients suffering from cancer over other treatments, 1–4 these typically elicit durable responses only minority of patients, part because the highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). 5 6 Rational combinations with inflammatory cytokines can relieve some immunosuppression, 7 8 but systemi...

Phenethyl alcohol is known to be bacteriostatic to certain gram-negative microorganisms (B. 0. Lilley and J. H. Brewer, J. Am. Pharm. Assoc. Sci. Ed. 43:6, 1953) and to inhibit reversibly deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis of Escherichia coli while allowing ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein synthesis to proceed (G. Berrah and W. A. Konetzka, J. Bacteriol. 83:738, 1962; R. W. Treick and W. A...
