For any compact connected manifold $M$, we consider the generalized contact Hamiltonian $H(x,p,u)$ defined on $T^*M\times\mathbb R$ which is conex in $p$ and monotonically increasing $u$. Let $u_\epsilon^-:M\rightarrow\mathbb be viscosity solution of parametrized Hamilton-Jacobi equation \[ H(x,\partial_x u_\epsilon^-(x),\epsilon u_\epsilon^-(x))=c(H) \] with $c(H)$ being Ma\~n\'e Critical Valu...

Members of the human beta-globin gene family are expressed at discrete stages of development and therefore provide an important model system for examining mechanisms of temporal gene regulation. We have previously shown that expression of the embryonic beta-like globin gene (epsilon) is mediated by a complex array of positive and negative upstream control elements. Correct developmental stage- ...

Immunoglobulin (Ig) E antibodies mediate allergic responses by binding to specific high affinity receptors, Fc epsilon RI, on mast cells and basophils. Previous studies have shown that the principal Fc epsilon RI binding site is located on the third constant domain, Fc epsilon 3, of IgE. Based on a model of the IgE Fc epsilon 3 (which is homologous to the second constant domain of IgG), homolog...

There is mounting evidence that Fc epsilon RII (CD23) and its soluble fragments (IgE-binding factors [BFs] or soluble CD23) have pleiotropic activities. IgE-BFs are formed mainly by the proteolytic cleavage of surface Fc epsilon RII; they are first released as 37- and 33-kD unstable molecules that are subsequently transformed into 25-kD IgE-BFs. In this study, purified and radioiodinated 37-kD ...

Let S be a set of n ideals of a commutative ring A and let Geven (respectively Godd) denote the product of all the sums of even (respectively odd) number of ideals of S. If n ≤ 6 the product of Geven and the intersection of all ideals of S is included in Godd. In the case A is an Noetherian integral domain, this inclusion is replaced by equality if and only if A is a Dedekind domain.

The concept of a 0-distributive poset is introduced. It is shown that a section semicomplemented poset is distributive if and only if it is 0-distributive. It is also proved that every pseudocomplemented poset is 0-distributive. Further, 0-distributive posets are characterized in terms of their ideal lattices.

The fluorescence emission of 1-N6-etheno-2-aza-ATP (epsilon-aza-ATP) at 410-460 nm is enhanced approximately 8-fold upon mixing substoichiometric concentrations of epsilon-aza-ATP with bovine cardiac actomyosin-S1 or myofibrils. The time course of nucleotide fluorescence measured in a front face stopped flow cell upon mixing epsilon-aza-ATP with bovine cardiac myofibrils ([Ca2+] less than 10(-7...

Park and Pham's recent proof of the Kahn-Kalai conjecture was a major breakthrough in field graph hypergraph thresholds. Their result gives an upper bound on threshold at which probabilistic construction has $1-\epsilon$ chance achieving given monotone property. While their other parameters is optimal up to constant factors for any fixed $\epsilon$, it does not have dependence $\epsilon$ as $\e...

We present experimental results for patterns of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical container with static sidewall forcing. The fluid used was methanol, with a Prandlt number sigma=7.17 , and the aspect ratio was Gamma identical withR/d approximately 19 ( R is the radius and d the thickness of the fluid layer). In the presence of a small heat input along the sidewall, a sudden jump of t...
