2014 Nucleus-nucleus scattering with rearrangement of nucleons between the projectile and target nuclei is discussed. The approximated Watson and Glauber formulae for these collisions are derived. The example of the antisymmetrization term in elastic proton-nucleus scattering is considered. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE TOME 39, OCTOBRE 1978, Classification Physics Abstracts 25.10 25.90 . The theory o...

SUMMARY ParIS Genome Rearrangement is a web server for a Bayesian analysis of unichromosomal genome pairs. The underlying model allows inversions, transpositions and inverted transpositions. The server generates a Markov chain using a Partial Importance Sampler technique, and samples trajectories of mutations from this chain. The user can specify several marginalizations to the posterior: the p...

MOTIVATION As more and more genomes have been sequenced, genomic data is rapidly accumulating. Genome-wide mutations are believed more neutral than local mutations such as substitutions, insertions and deletions, therefore phylogenetic investigations based on inversions, transpositions and inverted transpositions are less biased by the hypothesis on neutral evolution. Although efficient algorit...

We investigate a rearrangement inequality for pairs of n × n matrices: Let ‖A‖p denote (Tr(A∗A)p/2)1/p, the C trace norm of an n×n matrix A. Consider the quantity ‖A+B‖p+‖A−B‖p. Under certain positivity conditions, we show that this is nonincreasing for a natural “rearrangement” of the matrices A and B when 1 ≤ p ≤ 2. We conjecture that this is true in general, without any restrictions on A and...

Algorithms inspired by comparative genomics calculate an edit distance between two linear orders based on elementary edit operations such as inversion, transposition and reciprocal translocation. All operations are generally assigned the same weight, simply by default, because no systematic empirical studies exist verifying whether algorithmic outputs involve realistic proportion of each. Nor d...

LiTMP metalated dimethyl N-Boc-phosphoramidates derived from 1-phenylethylamine and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ylamine highly selectively at the CH3O group to generate short-lived oxymethyllithiums. These isomerized to diastereomeric hydroxymethylphosphonamidates (phosphate–phosphonate rearrangement). However, s-BuLi converted the dimethyl N-Boc-phosphoramidate derived from 1-phenylethylami...

Two (13)C-labeled isomers of the formal Diels-Alder adduct of acetylmethyloxirene to tetramethyl 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate have been synthesized. Flash vacuum thermolysis of these adducts leads to various isotopic isomers of acetylmethylketene, the ratios of which have been determined by NMR. The surprising finding that the principal product comes from methylpyruvoyl carbene rather than i...

Introduction This study determined the prevalence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement, and identified the associations of ALK rearrangement with clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment outcomes in patients with surgically-resected stage I-III lung adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 534 surgically-resected lung adenocarcinoma patients were studied. The prevalence of ALK p...

The N[1,3]-sigmatropic shift in the benzidine rearrangement has been studied in depth experimentally with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The designed substituted N,N'-diaryl hydrazines rearrange exclusively to the expected o/p-semidines and diphenylines. Intercrossing experiments support the intramolecular rearrangement process. Radical trapping experiments exclude the...

BACKGROUND To explore the efficacy of bronchoscopic biopsy for the detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangement in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS All patients with bronchoscopic biopsy-proven lung adenocarcinoma at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2009 to November 2011 were enrolled. Scorpion amplifi...
