The notion of an∞-generalized Fibonacci sequence has been introduced in [6], and studied in [1], [7], [9]. This class of sequences defined by linear recurrences of infinite order is an extension of the class of ordinary (weighted) r-generalized Fibonacci sequences (r-GFS, for short) with r finite defined by linear recurrences of r order (for example, see [2], [3], [4], [5], [8] etc.) More preci...

Rabbit is a software-oriented synchronous stream cipher with very strong security properties and support for 128-bit keys. Rabbit is part of the European Union’s eSTREAM portfolio of stream ciphers addressing the need for strong and computationally efficient (i.e., fast) ciphers. Extensive cryptanalysis confirms Rabbit’s strength against modern attacks; attacks with complexity lower than an exh...

Defining baseline mortality and trends in wildlife populations is imperative to understand natural anthropogenic threats overall population health improve conservation measures for species, particularly geographically confined habitats. The Guadalupe fur seal Arctocephalus townsendi (GFS) a threatened pinniped that ranges throughout the west coast of Mexico with sporadic dispersion higher latit...

Acquiring precise data is expensive. Hence, there is interest in the development of computer algorithms that make full use of imprecise data, even though these new algorithms may be more complex and require more resources. In particular, most Genetic Fuzzy Systems (GFS). accept crisp inputs, but changes can be effected to them so that rules are obtained from vague data. Furthermore, the rule ge...

The aim of tissue engineering is to promote the repair of functional tissues. For decades, the combined use of biomaterials, growth factors (GFs), and stem cells has been the base of several regeneration strategies. Among these, biomimicry emerged as a robust strategy to efficiently address this clinical challenge. Biomimetic materials, able to recapitulate the composition and architecture of t...

BigTable is a distributed storage system developed at Google for managing structured data and has the capability to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. As now, there exist two open-source implementations that closely emulate most of the components of Google’s BigTable i.e. HBase and Hypertable. HBase is written in Java and provides BigTable like ...

HLA genotyping via next generation sequencing (NGS) poses challenges for the use of HLA allele names to analyze and discuss sequence polymorphism. NGS will identify many new synonymous and non-coding HLA sequence variants. Allele names identify the types of nucleotide polymorphism that define an allele (non-synonymous, synonymous and non-coding changes), but do not describe how polymorphism is ...

Lowered insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling (IIS) can extend healthy lifespan in worms, flies, and mice, but it can also have adverse effects (the "insulin paradox"). Chronic, moderately lowered IIS rescues age-related decline in neurotransmission through the Drosophila giant fiber system (GFS), a simple escape response neuronal circuit, by increasing targeting of the gap junctio...

Abstract This paper investigates the influence of typical gravity connections on seismic demands steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) buildings with friction dampers as dissipative floor connectors. The investigated include (i) shear tab, (ii) clip angle, (iii) flush end‐plate and (iv) tab bottom T‐stub. It is shown that behavior framing system (GFS) practically insensitive to connection typ...
