The eigenvalue problem for the p-wave bound states formed by two unequal-mass scalar particles through the massive scalar particle exchange is analyzed numerically in the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter ladder model. As in the s-wave case, the eigenvalues of the coupling constant are found to become complex for some mass configurations in some range of the bound state mass. The Bethe-Salpeter a...

Telesensing, or probing of the environment by the release of chemical messengers, plays a central role in the sexual programs of microbial organisms. Sex pheromones secreted by mating cells are sensed by potential partner cells and mediate cell-to-cell contact and the subsequent exchange of genetic material. Although the mechanisms used by bacterial and fungal species to promote genetic exchang...

An increasing number of investigators (2-5) have postulated the occurrence of an exchange reaction catalyzed by transaldolase between glyceraldehyde S-phosphate and fructose 6phosphate to explain the unequal labeling of the 6 carbons of hexoses which is observed in tracer experiments. Transaldolase accepts the dihydroxyacetone moiety from sedoheptulose 7-phosphate or fructose B-phosphate to for...

In this work we explore possibilities for coding when information worlds have different (semantic) values. We introduce a loss function that expresses the overall performance of a coding scheme for discrete channels and exchange the usual goal of minimizing the error probability to that of minimizing the expected loss. In this environment we explore the possibilities of using poset-decoders to ...

Sex is a paradoxical phenomenon because it is less efficient compared with asexual reproduction. To resolve this paradox we need a direct comparison between sexual and asexual forms. In many organisms, however, sexual and asexual forms do not occur in the same habitat, or at the same time. In a few cases where sexual and asexual forms are found in a single population, some (though rare) genetic...

We have utilized a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) probe in combination with selected probes from other positions along the 2q chromosome arm in a two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of early DHFR gene amplification events in CHO cells. These studies show clearly that the most frequent initiating event is the formation of a giant inverted duplication, resulting from chromosome ...

Monkeys can learn the symbolic meaning of tokens, and exchange them to get a reward. Monkeys can also learn the symbolic value of a token by observing conspecifics but it is not clear if they can learn passively by observing other actors, e.g., humans. To answer this question, we tested two monkeys in a token exchange paradigm in three experiments. Monkeys learned token values through observati...
