Recent efforts to broaden understanding of the molecular mechanisms of membrane receptors in signal transduction make use of rate-equilibrium free-energy relationships (REFERs), previously applied to chemical reactions, enzyme kinetics, and protein folding. For oligomeric membrane receptors, we distinguish between a), the Leffler parameter alpha(L), to characterize the global transition state f...

‎Let $\Omega_X$ be a bounded‎, ‎circular and strictly convex domain in a complex Banach space $X$‎, ‎and $\mathcal{H}(\Omega_X)$ be the space of all holomorphic functions from $\Omega_X$ to $\mathbb{C}$‎. ‎The growth space $\mathcal{A}^\nu(\Omega_X)$ consists of all $f\in\mathcal{H}(\Omega_X)$‎ ‎such that $$|f(x)|\leqslant C \nu(r_{\Omega_X}(x)),\quad x\in \Omega_X,$$‎ ‎for some constant $C>0$‎...

We show that a qubit can be used to substitute for a classical analog system requiring an arbitrarily large number of classical bits to represent digitally. Let a physical system S interact locally with a classical field varphi(x) as S travels directly from point A to point B. Our task is to use S to answer a simple yes/no question about varphi(x). If S is a qubit, the task can be done perfectl...

We study by molecular dynamics the interplay between arrest and crystallization in hard spheres. For state points in the plane of volume fraction (0.54 <or= varphi <or= 0.63) and polydispersity (0 <or= s <or= 0.085), we delineate states that spontaneously crystallize from those that do not. For noncrystallizing (or precrystallization) samples we find isodiffusivity lines consistent with an idea...

We revisit the problem of integer factorization with number-theoretic oracles, including a well-known problem: can we factor an integer $N$ unconditionally, in deterministic polynomial time, given the value of the Euler totient $(\varphi(N)$? We show that this can be done, under certain size conditions on the prime factors of $N$. The key technique is lattice basis reduction using the LLL algor...

a toroidalization of a dominant morphism $varphi: xto y$ of algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero is a toroidal lifting of $varphi$ obtained by performing sequences of blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties above $x$ and $y$. we give a proof of toroidalization of locally toroidal morphisms of 3-folds.

We point out that, if quantum field renormalization is taken into account and the counterterms are evaluated at the Hubble-radius crossing time or few e-foldings after it, the predictions of slow-roll inflation for both the scalar and the tensorial power spectrum change significantly. This leads to a change in the consistency condition that relates the tensor-to-scalar amplitude ratio with spec...

Let  $left{a_alpharight}_{alphain I}$ be a bounded net in a Banach algebra $A$ and $varphi$ a nonzero multiplicative linear functional on $A$. In this paper, we deal with the problem of when $|aa_alpha-varphi(a)a_alpha|to0$ uniformly for all $a$ in weakly compact subsets of $A$. We show that Banach algebras associated to locally compact groups such  as Segal algebras and $L^1$-algebras are resp...

‎generalizing the notion of character amenability for banach‎ ‎algebras‎, ‎we study the concept of $varphi$-connes amenability of‎ ‎a dual banach algebra $mathcal{a}$ with predual $mathcal{a}_*$‎, ‎where $varphi$ is a homomorphism from $mathcal{a}$ onto $bbb c$‎ ‎that lies in $mathcal{a}_*$‎. ‎several characterizations of‎ ‎$varphi$-connes amenability are given‎. ‎we also prove that the‎ ‎follo...
