The null space property (NSP) and the restricted isometry property (RIP) are two properties which have received considerable attention in the compressed sensing literature. As the name suggests, NSP is a property that depends solely on the null space of the measurement procedure and as such, any two matrices which have the same null space will have NSP if either one of them does. On the other h...

abrin known as ribosome inactivating protein’s (rip) it is a high cytotoxic plant protein. high lethality and low cost and easy access to plant and seeds lead to this toxin used in crimes and terrorist acts. because obtaining purified toxins requires advanced laboratory equipment and complex procedures, so, it appears that the perpetrators of such crimes use crude extracts. as a result, remaini...

RIP (repeat-induced point mutation) efficiently mutates repeated sequences in the sexual phase of the Neurospora crassa life cycle. Nevertheless, an active LINE-like retrotransposon, Tad, was found in a N. crassa strain from Adiopodoumé. The possibility was tested that Tad might be resistant to RIP, or that the Adiopodoumé strain might be incompetent for RIP. Tad elements derived from the Adiop...

Rat insulin promoter (RIP)-expressing neurons in the hypothalamus control body weight and energy homeostasis. However, genetic approaches to study the role of these neurons have been limited by the fact that RIP expression is predominantly found in pancreatic β-cells, which impedes selective targeting of neurons. To define the function of hypothalamic RIP-expressing neurons, we set out to acute...

Duplicate DNA sequences in the genome of Neurospora crassa can be detected and mutated in the sexual phase of the life cycle by a process termed RIP (repeat-induced point mutation). RIP occurs in the haploid nuclei of fertilized, premeiotic cells before fusion of the parental nuclei. Both copies of duplications of gene-sized sequences are affected in the first generation at frequencies of appro...

Receptor-interacting protein (RIP) plays a critical role in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced NF-kappaB activation. However, the mechanism by which RIP mediates TNF-alpha-induced signal transduction is not fully understood. In this study, we reconstituted RIP-deficient Jurkat T cells with a fusion protein composed of full-length MEKK3 and the death domain of RIP (MEKK3-DD). In the...

We make a trivial modification to the elegant analysis of Garg and Khandekar (Gradient Descent with Sparsification ICML 2009) that replaces the standard Restricted Isometry Property (RIP), with another RIP-type property (which could be simpler than the RIP, but we am not sure; it could be as hard as the RIP to check, thereby rendering this little writeup totally worthless).

Given a matrix A with n rows, a number k < n, and 0 < δ < 1, A is (k, δ)-RIP (Restricted Isometry Property) if, for any vector x ∈ R, with at most k non-zero co-ordinates, (1− δ)‖x‖2 ≤ ‖Ax‖2 ≤ (1 + δ)‖x‖2 In other words, a matrix A is (k, δ)-RIP if Ax preserves the length of x when x is a k-sparse vector. In many applications, such as compressed sensing and sparse recovery, it is desirable to c...

Two closely related lectins from bulbs of the Dutch iris (Iris hollandica var. Professor Blaauw) have been isolated and cloned. Both lectins, called Iris agglutinin b and Iris agglutinin r, possess N-glycosidase activity and share a high sequence similarity with previously described type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP). However, these lectins show only 57% to 59% sequence identity to a p...
