There is a large variety of Local Linearization (LL) schemes for the numerical integration of initial value problems, which differ with respect to the algorithm that is used in the numerical implementation of the Local Linear Discretization. However, in contrast with the LL Discretization, the order of convergence of the LL schemes have not been studied. In this paper, a general theorem about t...

Two procedures are described for the fractionation of chromatin containing unsubstituted (LL) DNA and DNA unifilarly substituted with bromodeoxyuridine (HL). The two procedures rely upon the sensitivity of bromodeoxyuridine-containing DNA to UV light to induce either strand breakage or protein crosslinking. When a mixture of LL and HL chromatin is irradiated with UV light, the HL DNA fragments ...

The present research tests Japanese listeners’ perception of Italian liquids under the framework of the Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM), a model of non-native speech perception. The study examines the discrimination and the identification of Italian liquids (/l/, /r/, /ll/, /rr/ and /ʎ/), while comparing the results with those of replicated perception experiments of Spanish liquids (/l/, /ɾ...

The human cathelicidin hCAP18/LL-37 is an antimicrobial protein consisting of a conserved N-terminal prosequence called the cathelin-like domain and a C-terminal peptide called LL-37. This peptide contains 37 amino acid residues, and several truncated variants obtained from natural sources or by chemical synthesis differ in their capability to damage Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as ...
