Recent studies suggest that mRNAs may be differentially expressed between males and females. This study aimed to perform expression analysis of mRNA and its main regulatory molecule, microRNA (miRNA), to discuss the potential sex-specific expression patterns using abnormal expression profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Generally, deregulated miRNAs and mRNAs had consistent expressio...

A recently developed photometric version of polyelectrolyte titration was applied for the determination of the number of charged residues on globular proteins. Based on the observation that oppositely charged polyelectrolytes form, in general, stoichiometric polyelectrolyte complexes, the protein solutions were incubated in excess with an oppositely charged polyelectrolyte, and the residual amo...

Within an extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model including interchain interactions and the extended Hubbard model, the dynamical relaxation of photoexcitations in two coupled conjugated polymer chains is investigated by using a nonadiabatic evolution method. Initially, one of the two chains is photoexcited and the other chain is in the dimerized ground state. Due to the interchain interactions, th...

let $d$ be a digraph with skew-adjacency matrix $s(d)$‎. ‎the skew‎ ‎energy of $d$ is defined as the sum of the norms of all‎ ‎eigenvalues of $s(d)$‎. ‎two digraphs are said to be skew‎ ‎equienergetic if their skew energies are equal‎. ‎we establish an‎ ‎expression for the characteristic polynomial of the skew‎ ‎adjacency matrix of the join of two digraphs‎, ‎and for the‎ ‎respective skew energ...
