SUMMARY ROBIN is a web server for analyzing genome rearrangement of block-interchanges between two chromosomal genomes. It takes two or more linear/circular chromosomes as its input, and computes the number of minimum block-interchange rearrangements between any two input chromosomes for transforming one chromosome into another and also determines an optimal scenario taking this number of rearr...

We prove a version of the Ray-Chaudhuri–Wilson and Frankl–Wilson theorems for k-wise intersections and also generalize a classical code-theoretic result of Delsarte for k-wise Hamming distances. A set of code-words a; a; . . . ; ak of length n have k-wise Hamming-distance ‘; if there are exactly ‘ such coordinates, where not all of their coordinates coincide (alternatively, exactly n ‘ of their...

Although radiation-induced chromosome exchanges are not distributed among cells according to a Poisson distribution, chromatid interchanges are. In Vicia faba the lack of fit to a Poisson distribution has been attributed to the occurrence of only two sites per cell where the chromosomes are close enough to form exchanges if broken. When chromatid aberrations are induced, after chromosomal dupli...

The present work develops and analyses a model system of delay-differential equations which describes the core dynamics of the stress-responsive hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. This neuroendocrine ensemble exhibits prominent pulsatile secretory patterns governed by nonlinear and time-delayed feedforward and feedback signal interchanges. Formulation and subsequent bifurcation analysis of th...

A standard result states the direct product of two connected bipartite graphs has exactly two components. Jha, Klavžar and Zmazek proved that if one of the factors admits an automorphism that interchanges partite sets, then the components are isomorphic. They conjectured the converse to be true. We prove the converse holds if the factors are square-free. Further, we present a matrix-theoretic c...

We characterize the duality of convex bodies in d-dimensional Euclidean vector space, viewed as a mapping from the space of convex bodies containing the origin in the interior into the same space. The question for such a characterization was posed by Vitali Milman. Sufficient for a characterization, up to a trivial exception and the composition with a linear transformation, is the property that...

Major advances in languages, tools and methodologies have improved our ability to develop reactive systems, but the task remains difficult, expensive and error prone. One of the key reasons is the growing complexity of many kinds of reactive systems, which increasingly prevents the human mind from managing a comprehensive picture of all their relevant elements and behaviors. We present a vision...
