Musical rhythms are represented as sequences of symbols. The sequences may be composed of binary symbols denoting either silent or monophonic sounded pulses, or ternary symbols denoting silent pulses and two types of sounded pulses made up of low-pitched (dum) and high-pitched (tak) sounds. Experiments are described that compare the effectiveness of the many-to-many minimum-weight matching betw...

Immobilizing hydrated soft tissue specimens for atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a challenge. Here, we describe a simple and very cost-effective immobilization method, based on the use of transglutaminase in an aqueous environment, and successfully apply it to AFM characterization of human native Wharton's Jelly (nWJ), the gelatinous connective tissue matrix of the umbilical cord. A side-by-sid...

Abstrakt. Příspěvek se věnuje problematice digitálního podpisu jakožto základnímu stavebnímu prvku služeb nepopiratelnosti podle norem ISO/IEC 13888 a ISO/IEC 10181-4. Zatímco otázkám konstrukce robustních důkazů o nepopiratelnosti vybraných událostí je v uvedených normách věnována relativně velká pozornost, tak otázce nepopiratelnosti samotného dílčího aktu provedení operace podpisu v použitém...

[1] New evidence based on recent satellite data is presented to provide a rare opportunity in quantifying the long-speculated contribution of tropical cyclones to enhance ocean primary production. In July 2000, moderate cyclone Kai-Tak passed over the South China Sea (SCS). During its short 3-day stay, Kai-Tak triggered an average 30-fold increase in surface chlorophyll-a concentration. The est...

Early repolarisation syndrome (ERS) appears in 2–7% of general population, mainly seen in young men, athletes and blacks. Recent publications change the benign character of ERS. It was suggested that ERS can be associated with sudden cardiac death, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. This article described history and evolution of ERS.

In the production of Swedish, vowel quantity is known to be realized in the vowel, but also affects duration of a postvocalic consonant. The goal of this study is to examine the use of postvocalic consonant duration as a perceptual cue to vowel quantity. Listeners ́ responses and reaction times were recorded for synthesized materials in which the vowel spectra and duration were kept constant and...

When pursuing the aim of paper – to determine sustainability cooperation between local governments in agglomerations an attempt was made establish: What is future Czech Republic and Poland? Do partnerships under Integrated Territorial Investments foster a culture cooperation? kind barriers must be overcome by connection with integration activities agglomerations? The uses comparative diagnostic...

A common rate-limiting step in the transcription of inducible eukaryotic genes is the release of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) molecules from stalled elongation complexes that accumulate shortly after the initiation of RNA synthesis (Blair et al. 1996; Blau et al. 1996; for review, see Greenblatt et al. 1993; Bentley 1995). In the absence of the inducer protein, transcription at these genes is usu...
