In this paper we present the language G-KARL. G-KARL allows to describe the static, the functional and the dynamic view to a knowledge based system (kbs) graphically. This graphical representation makes the communication between the expert and the knowledge engineer easier. The underlying conceptual model for G-KARL is derived from the KADS model of expertise. Every primitive of G-KARL may be m...

We study a family of subvarieties of the flag variety defined by certain linear conditions, called Hessenberg varieties. We compare them to Schubert varieties. We prove that some Schubert varieties can be realized as Hessenberg varieties and vice versa. Our proof explicitly identifies these Schubert varieties by their permutation and computes their dimension. We use this to answer an open quest...

Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugation masks the protein's surface and increases the molecular size of the polypeptide, thus preventing the approach of antibodies or antigen processing cells and reducing the degradation by proteolytic enzymes. Proteins are readily denatured by numerous stresses arising in solution (e.g., heating, agitation, freezing and pH changes) or by chemical reactions (e...

The mechanism of the solvent extraction of cytochrome c (Cyt c) via reverse micelle formation was studied from an electrochemical point of view. Potentiometric measurements showed that the Galvani potential difference of the oil/water (O/W) interface played a crucial role in the spontaneous extraction of Cyt c with bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT). However, the dependence of the extraction...

Marx was drawn towards politics by Romantic literature and his earliest writings embody a conception of reality as subject to turbulent change and of human beings as realizing themselves in the struggle for freedom. His identification with these elements in HEGEL's thought (and his contempt for what he regarded as HEGEL's apologetic attitude towards the Prussian state) brought Marx to associate...

This paper considers the maximum value of the permanent over the class H(m, n) of n × n Hessenberg, (0, 1)-matrices with m 1’s, and shows that among those matrices that attain the maximum value there exists a matrix with a special form. This special form determines the exact value of the maximum permanent on H(m, n) for certain values of m and n.
