The L11 ribosomal protein operon of Escherichia coli contains the genes for L11 and L1 and is feedback regulated by the translational repressor L1. The mRNA target site for this repression is located close to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence for the first cistron, rp1K (L11). By use of a random mutagenesis procedure we have isolated and characterized a series of point mutations in the L11 leader mRN...

We will use the concept of strong generating and a simple renorming theorem to give new proofs to slight generalizations of some results of Argyros and Rosenthal on weakly compact sets in L1(μ) spaces for finite measures μ. The purpose of this note is to show that a simple transfer renorming theorem explains why L1(μ)-spaces, for finite measures μ, share some properties with superreflexive spac...

We establish a reflection principle for three lattice walkers and use this principle to reduce the enumeration of the configurations of three vicious walkers to that of configurations of two vicious walkers. In the combinatorial treatment of two vicious walkers, we make connections to two-chain watermelons and to the classical ballot problem. Precisely, the reflection principle leads to a bijec...

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver developers have long sought to achieve higher sensitivity. This is beneficial for both civilian and military users. Improved sensitivity increases availability in urban and indoor environments and provides greater robustness against radio frequency interference (RFI). With the coming of GPS III, users will have new features that can be used to ...

The task of native language (L1) identification suffers from a relative paucity of useful training corpora, and standard within-corpus evaluation is often problematic due to topic bias. In this paper, we introduce a method for L1 identification in second language (L2) texts that relies only on much more plentiful L1 data, rather than the L2 texts that are traditionally used for training. In par...

In compressive sensing (CS) based inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging approaches, the quality of final image significantly depends on the number of measurements and the noise level. In this paper, we propose an improved version of CSbased method for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. Different from the traditional l1 norm based CS ISAR imaging method, our method explor...

Pseudolites (PLs) are ground-based transmitters that transmit GPS-like signals. They have been used to test GPS system elements and to enhance GPS in certain applications by providing better accuracy, integrity and availability through the use of PL signals in addition to the GPS signals. PLs are also a promising technology for providing positioning in indoor, high multipath environments where ...
