Infinite product formulae for conformally mapping an unbounded multiply connected circle domain to an unbounded canonical radial or circular slit domain, or to domains with both radial and circular slit boundary components are derived and implemented numerically and graphically. The formulae are generated by analytic continuation with the reflection principle. Convergence of the infinite produc...

In broadband DS-CDMA uplink transmission using frequency-domain equalization (FDE) without cyclic prefix (CP) insertion, the transmission performance degrades due to inter block interference (IBI) and circular property loss. In this paper, IBI cancellation and circular property loss restoration is proposed and the performance improvement is evaluated by computer simulation. It is shown that ite...

The human protein tyrosine kinase-6 (PTK6) polypeptide that is deduced from the cDNA sequence contains a Src homology (SH) 3 domain, SH2 domain, and catalytic domain of tyrosine kinase. We initiated biochemical and NMR characterization of PTK6 SH3 domain in order to correlate the structural role of the PTK6 using circular dichroism and heteronuclear NMR techniques. The circular dichroism data s...

The concept of ―peak event‖ has been used extensively to characterize influenza epidemics. Current definitions, however, could not maximize the amount of pertinent information about the probabilities of peak events that could be extracted from the generally limited available records. This study proposes a new method of defining peak events and statistically characterizing their properties, incl...

Despite actionable insight being widely recognized as the outcome of data analytics, there is a lack of a systematic and commonly-agreed definition for the term. More importantly, existing definitions are generally too abstract for informing the design of data analytics systems. This study proposes a definition of actionable insight as a multi-component concept comprising analytic insight, syne...

The rational design of synthetic peptides is proposed as an efficient strategy for the structural investigation of crucial protein domains difficult to be produced. Only after half a century since the function of ACE was first reported, was its crystal structure solved. The main obstacle to be overcome for the determination of the high resolution structure was the crystallization of the highly ...
