A jump system is defined as a set of integer points (vectors) with certain exchange property, generalizing the concepts matroids, delta-matroids, and base polyhedra integral polymatroids (or submodular systems). discrete convexity concept for functions on constant-parity systems it has been used in graph theory algebra. In this paper we call “jump M-convexity” extend to M♮-convexity” larger cla...

Interactions of 3,3',4,4'-tetrahydroxybiphenyl (BPT) and three isomeric 3,3",4,4"-tetrahydroxyterphenyls (OTT, MTT, PTT) with Alzheimer’s amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) were studied by molecular dynamics simulation and molecular docking. Structural parameters such as Root-mean-square derivations (RMSD), radial distribution function (RDF), helix percentage and other physical parameters were obtained. Th...

OWA operators, introduced by Yager, are very important non linear aggregation functions in both academic studies and a myriad of applications. In this study, we use two dimensional OWA aggregation function into pedagogical evaluation practice, which will involve the preferences and experiences of decision makers and teachers. In addition, we also introduce a long time educational evaluation mod...

Background: This study investigated the effects of 12-week resistance training on body composition, blood pressure, lipid levels, muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), isokinetic function, and hemorheological properties in middle-aged obese women. Methods: Twenty-eight women with a mean age 50.79 ± 5.80 years were randomly assigned to control (CON, n = 13) or experimental (EXP, 15) group. The EXP ...

In-network data aggregation is widely recognized as an acceptable means to reduce the amount of transmitted data without adversely affecting the quality of the results. To date, most aggregation protocols assume that data from localized regions is correlated, thus they tend to identify aggregation points within these regions. Our work, instead, targets systems where the data sources are largely...

Introduction: Profilin1 (PFN1) is a ubiquitously expressed protein known for its function as a regulator of actin polymerization and dynamics. A recent discovery linked mutant PFN1 to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), which is a fatal and progressive motor neuron disease. We have also demonstrated that Gly118Val mutation in PFN1 is a cause of ALS, and the formation of aggregates containing m...

Abstract Background and Objectives Protein gluten content composition are important for the baking quality of wheat flours. Our aim was to provide a comprehensive characterization 82 flours analyze influence protein on rheological parameters. Findings composition, starch gelatinization behavior, as well (microfarinograph, aggregation, extensibility), parameters were determined. The correlation ...

This paper presents a fluid-particle interaction algorithm using the distributed Lagrange multiplier based fictitious domain method. The application of this method to the numerical investigation of motion and aggregation of red blood cells in two-dimensional microvessels is discussed. The cells are modelled as rigid biconcave-shaped neutrally buoyant particles. The aggregating force between two...
