C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a major co-receptor molecule used by HIV-1 to enter cells. This led the hypothesis that stimulating an antibody response would block HIV with minimal toxicity. Here, X-ray crystallographic studies of anti-CCR5 RoAb13 together two peptides were undertaken: one peptide 31-residue containing PIYDIN sequence and other PIDYIN alone, where part N-terminal region CCR...

In ordinary learning paradigm, a target concept, whose examples are fed to an inference machine, is assumed to belong to a hypothesis space which is given in advance. However this assumption is not appropriate, if we want an inference machine to infer or to discover an unknown rule which explains examples or data obtained from scientific experiments. In their previous paper, Mukouchi and Arikaw...

The form of the coupling of the scalar field with gravity and the potential have been found by applying N öther theorem to 2-dimensional minisuperspaces in induced gravity model. It has been observed that though the forms thus obtained are consistent with all the equations £XL = 0 , yet they do not satisfy the field equations fork = ±1 , in Robertson-Walker model. It has been pointed out that t...

A minimal self-consistent model of the multiscale interaction of a tearing mode with drift wave turbulence is presented. A tearing instability in a cylindrical plasma interacting with electrostatic drift waves is considered, for reasons of simplicity. Wave kinetics and adiabatic theory are used to treat the feedback of tearing mode flows on the drift waves via shearing and radial advection. The...

Medical Language Processing (MLP), especially in specific domains, requires fine-grained semantic lexica. We examine whether robust natural language processing tools used on a representative corpus of a domain help in building and refining a semantic categorization. We test this hypothesis with ZELLIG, a corpus analysis tool. The first clusters we obtain are consistent with a model of the domai...

Let $G$ be a finite group. The graph $D(G)$ is a divisibility graph of $G$. Its vertex set is the non-central conjugacy class sizes of $G$ and there is an edge between vertices $a$ and $b$ if and only if $a|b$ or $b|a$. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the divisibility graph $D(G)$ for a non-solvable group with $sigma^{ast}(G)=2$, a finite simple group $G$ that satisfies the one-p...

We propose the concept of the minimal photo hull which can produce the most consistent photographs among all of the photo hulls. In addition, it is also one of the optimal shapes making the minimal consistent level be the largest. Experimental results show that the minimal photo hull can be successfully applied for generation of convincing novel views.
