We show that ω-categorical rings with NIP are nilpotent-by-finite. We prove that an ω-categorical group with NIP and fsg is nilpotent-by-finite. We also notice that an ω-categorical group with at least one strongly regular type is abelian. Moreover, we get that each ω-categorical, characteristically simple p-group with NIP has an infinite, definable abelian subgroup. Assuming additionally the e...

In this paper, a Model Predictive Control problem for constrained nonlinear systems with quantized input is formulated and represented as a multiparametric Nonlinear Integer Programming (mp-NIP) problem. Then, a computational method for explicit approximate solution of the resulting mp-NIP problem is suggested. The proposed approximate mp-NIP approach is applied to the design of an explicit app...

Surface imprinting used for template recognition in nanocavities can be controlled and improved by surface morphological changes. Generally, the lithographic technique is patterning concerning sensing signal amplification molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) thin films. In this paper, we describe effects of silanized silica molds on properties MIP Porous poly(MAA–co–EGDMA) films were lithographi...

We address the following question: Can we expand an NIP theory by adding a linear order such that the expansion is still NIP? Easily, if acl(A)=A for all A, then this is true. Otherwise, we give counterexamples. More precisely, there is a totally categorical theory for which every expansion by a linear order has IP. There is also an ω-stable NDOP theory for which every expansion by a linear ord...

We introduce generalizations of stochastic network interdiction problem with distributional ambiguity. Specifically, we consider a distributionally risk-averse (or robust) (DRA-NIP) and risk-receptive (DRR-NIP) where leader maximizes follower's minimal expected objective value for either the worst-case or best-case, respectively, probability distribution belonging to ambiguity set (a distributi...

Neuropilin-1 (Npn-1), a receptor for semaphorin III, mediates the guidance of growth cones on extending neurites. The molecular mechanism of Npn-1 signaling remains unclear. We have used a yeast two-hybrid system to isolate a protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Npn-1. This Npn-1-interacting protein (NIP) contains a central PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain and a C-terminal acyl car...

The effects of a new benzopyran derivative, NIP-142, on atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFL) and on electrophysiological variables were studied in the dog. NIP-142 (3mg/kg) was administered intravenously to pentobarbital-anesthetized beagles during vagally-induced AF and during AFL induced after placement of an intercaval crush. Isolated canine atrial tissues were studied using standard m...

A hapten, 4-hydroxy-3-iodo-5-nitrophenylacetic acid (NIP) when coupled to isologous mouse gamma globulin (MgammaG) elicits a hapten-specific immune response in mice if administered in Freund's complete adjuvant. This response is measurable by the capacity of the sera to bind N(125)IP, by detection of NIP-specific plaque-forming cells (B cells), and by in vitro secondary type antigen-driven DNA ...

Photocatalytic systems for the reduction of aqueous protons are strongly pH-dependent, but the origin of this dependency is still not fully understood. We have studied the effect of different degrees of acidity on the electron transfer dynamics and catalysis taking place in a homogeneous photocatalytic system composed of a phosphonated ruthenium tris(bipyridine) dye (RuP) and a nickel bis(dipho...
