In which we introduce the Leighton-Rao relaxation of sparsest cut. Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph. Unlike past lectures, we will not need to assume that G is regular. We are interested in finding a sparsest cut in G, where the sparsity of a non-trivial bipartition (S, V − S) of the vertices is which is the ratio between the fraction of edges that are cut by (S, V − S) and the fraction of...

1, Methods The DMM was designed to measure light sensitivity threshold to a white stimuli at 100 locations on a 5” region of 1” resolution at the lmacula using Humphrey Field Analyzer-640 in 24 eyes of the normal elderly. The age range was 50-69. The test of routine threshold programma 10-2 was compared. The statistical analysis was carried out for measurements. Results There were no significan...

This severely skewed taxonomic sampling hinders our comprehension of land plant evolution at large. Moreover, most genetically accessible model species are flowering plants as well. If we are to gain a deeper under...

The affinity label N-bromoacetylethanolamine phosphate (BrAcNHEtOP) has been used previously at pH 6.5 to identify His-359 of rabbit muscle aldolase as an active site residue. We now find that the specificity of the reagent is pH-dependent. At pH 8.5, alkylation with 14C-labeled BrAcNHEtOP abolishes both fructose-1,6-P2 cleavage activity and transaldolase activity. The stoichiometry of incorpor...

The importance of kisspeptin in regulating vertebrate reproduction has been well established, but the exact mechanism continues to unfold. Unlike mammals, many lower vertebrates possess a dual kisspeptin system, Kiss1 and Kiss2. To decipher the roles of the kisspeptins in fish, we identified two potential kisspeptin antagonists, pep 234 and pep 359, by screening analogs for their ability to ina...
