A polytope P is a model for a combinatorial problem on finite graphs G whose variables are indexed by the edge set E of G if the points of P with (0,1)-coordinates are precisely the characteristic vectors of the subset of edges inducing the feasible configurations for the problem. In the case of the (simple) MaxCut Problem, which is the one that concern us here, the feasible subsets of edges ar...

Clonal pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells have four different types of voltage-dependent K+ channels whose activation does not require high concentrations of Ca++ on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane (Hoshi, T., and R. W. Aldrich, 1988, Journal of General Physiology, 91:73-106). The durations of open and closed events of these four different types of voltage-dependent K+ channels were measured u...

In the no-boundary universe the universe is created from an instanton. However, there does not exist any instanton for the “realistic” FRW universe with a scalar field. The “instanton” leading to its quantum creation may be modified and reinterpreted as a constrained gravitational instanton. PACS number(s): 98.80.Hw, 98.80.Bp, 04.60.Kz, 04.70.Dy

Following recent advances in the local theory of current-algebraic orbifolds we present the basic dynamics including the twisted KZ equations of each twisted sector of all outer-automorphic WZW orbifolds on so(2n). Physics-friendly Cartesian bases are used throughout, and we are able in particular to assemble two Z3 triality orbifolds and three S3 triality orbifolds on so(8).

In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of the bovine viral diarrhea virus 2 Japanese reference strain KZ-91CP. The complete genome comprises 12,654 nucleotides and one open reading frame with 4,020 amino acids. A 369-nucleotide-long insertion encoding the chaperone protein DnaJ is found in the nonstructural 2 (NS2) coding region.

If k is a positive integer we say that a set S of real numbers is k-sum-free if there do not exist x, y, x is S such that x + y = kz. For k greater than or equal to 4 we find the essentially unique measurable k-sum-free subset of (0, 1] of maximum size.

There is a number of completely integrable gravity theories in two dimensions. We study the metric-affine approach on a 2-dimensional spacetime and display a new integrable model. Its properties are described and compared with the known results of Poincaré gauge gravity. PACS: 04.50.+h, 04.20.Fy, 04.20.Jb, 04.60.Kz, 02.30.Ik

By introducing the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) on quantum density states, we newly obtain a consistent entropy of a scalar field on the (1+1)-dimensional Maxwell-dilaton background without an artificial cutoff in contrast to the results of the brick wall model, which depend on the choice of the Hawking temperature for the extremal case.
