ADAM metalloprotease-disintegrins share a common modular structure of functional domains for proteolytic, cell adhesion, and signaling interactions. The metalloprotease domain of oughly half of the known ADAMs contain an intact consensus metzincin catalytic site, and they are thus thought to function as active metalloproteases. The types of interactions mediated by ADAMs are expressly conspicu...

Experiments were performed to determine the effect of community composition on system function (bacterial production) in arctic Alaska. In this system bacterial production is controlled by: community, temperature, nutrients, and carbon source. Lake inlet and outlet communities in these experiments were different in composition, based on PCR-DGGE fingerprinting of 16S rDNA. For both communities,...

We study the lift-and-project procedures of Lovász-Schrijver and Sherali-Adams applied to the standard linear programming relaxation of the traveling salesperson problem with triangle inequality. For the asymmetric TSP tour problem, Charikar, Goemans, and Karloff (FOCS 2004) proved that the integrality gap of the standard relaxation is at least 2. We prove that after one round of the Lovász-Sch...

Predictor-corrector (PC) methods for the numerical solution of stiff ODEs can be extended to include the second derivative of the solution. In this paper, we consider second derivative PC methods with the three-step second derivative Adams-Bashforth as predictor and two-step second derivative Adams-Moulton as corrector which both methods have order six. Implementation of the proposed PC method ...

Abstract In this paper we study asymptotic behaviors of n -superharmonic functions at singularity using the Wolff potential and capacity estimates in nonlinear theory. Our results are inspired by extend [6] Arsove–Huber [63] Taliaferro 2 dimensions. To use a new notion thinness terms -capacity motivated type Wiener criterion [6]. [63], employ Adams–Moser–Trudinger’s inequality for potential, wh...

The main purpose of this paper is to establish the existence of nontrivial solutions to semilinear polyharmonic equations with exponential growth at the subcritical or critical level. This growth condition is motivated by the Adams inequality [1] of Moser-Trudinger type. More precisely, we consider the semilinear elliptic equation (−∆) u = f(x, u), subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition u ...
