The increase in proline induced by ABA, a process stimulated by NaCi or KCI in barley leaves, did not occur when Na+ (or K+) was present in the external medium as the gluconate salt, namely with an anion unable to permeate the plasma membrane. However, proline increase was restored, to different extents, by the addition of various chloride salts but not by ammonium chloride. Moreover, it was sh...

Quantum walks are considered to be quantum counterparts of classical random walks. With the advancements in quantum information theory, different version of quantum walks and quantum random walks have been developed for application in quantum algorithms and mimicking/simulating dynamics of various physical systems. In this talk I will introduce both, the discrete-time and continuous-time versio...

An estimated 100,000 genes lie on our 46 chromosomes. One third of these are thought to be specifically expressed in our brains at different periods over the course of our lives. Over the past few years, a small but growing number of genes have been cloned. Mutations in a number of these genes lead to a disruption of the normal CNS developm ent . The ability to isolate genes is probably one of ...

The aim of the paper is to extend the notion of α-geometry in the classical and in the noncommutative case by introducing a more general class of pull-back metrics and to give concrete formulas for the scalar curvature of these Riemannian manifolds. We introduce a more general class of pull-back metrics of the noncommutative state spaces, we pull back the Euclidean Riemannian metric of the spac...

We investigate whether K,-free graphs with few repetitions in the degree sequence may have independence number o(n). We settle the cases r = 3 and r >/5, and give partial results for the very interesting case r=4 . In an earl ier art icle I-4] it is shown that t r iangle-free graphs in which no term of the degree sequence occurs more than twice must be bipar t i te , but that there exist t r ia...

The high-frequency content of state-of-the-art digital signals acts like a magnifying glass for microscale PCB effects like glass weave and copper surface roughness. In this paper, we present an experimental, numerical, and analytical investigation of the important role that these effects play in defining the characteristic impedance of interconnects, the associated attenuation and phase consta...

Among the resources developed in SI-TAL (Integrated Systems for the Automatic Treatment of Language), ItalWordNet (IWN) was built as reference semantic database, enlarging the Italian WordNet developed in the framework of the European project EuroWordNet (EWN). The Italian lexical database was increased, by introducing and codifying, besides the new grammatical categories of the adjectives and ...
