We introduce the concept of Conversion/Preference Games, or CP games for short. CP games generalize the standard notion of strategic games. First we exemplify the use of CP games. Second we formally introduce and define the CP-games formalism. Then we sketch two ‘real-life’ applications, namely a connection between CP games and gene regulation networks, and the use of CP games to formalize impl...

The chloroplast (cp) genome is organized as nucleoids that are dispersed throughout the cp stroma. Previously, a cp homolog of bacterial recombinase RecA (cpRECA) was shown to be involved in the maintenance of cp genome integrity by repairing damaged chloroplast DNA and by suppressing aberrant recombination between short dispersed repeats in the moss Physcomitrella patens Here, overexpression a...

A comparative study on the stabilizing ability between C5Me4(SiMe3) (Cp' for short) and amidinate in rare-earth metal complexes is investigated. Cp' is found to dissociate from half-sandwich bis(propiolamidinate) lanthanides via competition with a propiolamidinate, which clearly shows that the coordinative ability of chelate amidinate is stronger than that of η(5)-Cp' under the present conditions.

In the uplink of OFDMA-based systems, Multiple Access Interference (MAI), caused by synchronization offsets, can cause considerable degradation in the performance of the User Terminals (UTs). The conventional approach to deal with MAI is based on the usage of Cyclic Prefix (CP) also known as Guard Intervals (GI) in time domain. The time and frequency offsets of UTs signals arriving at BS are es...

Heterophones pose challenges during training of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems because they involve ambiguity in the pronunciation of an orthographic representation of a word. Heterophones are words that have the same spelling but different pronunciations. This paper addresses the problem of heterophonic languages by developing the concept of a Composite Phoneme (CP) as a basic pron...

The rare decay KL → πνν̄ is dominated by direct CP violation and can be computed with extraordinarily high precision. In principle also a CP conserving contribution to this process can arise within the Standard Model. We clarify the structure of the CP conserving mechanism, analyzing both its short-distance and long-distance components. It is pointed out that the calculation of the CP conserving...

AIM To examine the relation between physical fitness and gross motor capacity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) who were classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I or II. METHOD In total, 68 children with CP (mean age 12y 1mo, SD 2y 8mo; 44 males, 24 females; 45 classified as having spastic unilateral CP, 23 as having spastic bilateral CP) participated in this study....

Preferences play an important role in our everyday lives. CP-networks, or CP-nets in short, are graphical models for representing conditional qualitative preferences under ceteris paribus (“all else being equal”) assumptions. Despite their intuitive nature and rich representation, dominance testing with CP-nets is computationally complex, even when the CP-nets are restricted to binary-valued pr...

The effect of grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (Quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (OMD) and in situ dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to deactivate the tannins. In vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...
