We analyze M-theory compactified on (K3 × S)/Z2 where the Z2 changes the sign of the three form gauge field, acts on S as a parity transformation and on K3 as an involution with eight fixed points preserving SU(2) holonomy. At a generic point in the moduli space the resulting theory has as its low energy limit N = 1 supergravity theory in six dimensions with eight vector, nine tensor and twenty...

How the brain translates changes in internal metabolic state or perceived food quality into alterations in feeding behavior remains poorly understood. Studies in Drosophila larvae have yielded information about neuropeptides and circuits that promote feeding, but a peptidergic neuron subset whose activation inhibits feeding in adult flies, without promoting metabolic changes that mimic the stat...

The flesh-eating bacterium group A Streptococcus (GAS) binds and activates human plasminogen, promoting invasive disease. Streptococcal surface enolase (SEN), a glycolytic pathway enzyme, is an identified plasminogen receptor of GAS. Here we used mass spectrometry (MS) to confirm that GAS SEN is octameric, thereby validating in silico modeling based on the crystal structure of Streptococcus pne...

The feasibility of using the autocorrelation of coherent diffraction radiation (CDR) as a non-intercepting diagnostics technique for bunch length and indirectly rf phase measurements is evaluated and proposed for the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) facility under construction at Fermilab. Previous experiments on an rf thermionic cathode gun beam at 50 MeV provide a proof-of-pri...

Autologous bone marrow transplantation is used in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) to reverse the hematological toxicity induced by high dose therapy even though the presence of cancerous cells in the graft is potentially dangerous by reinfusion of the disease along with the hematopoietic stem cells. The present studies were undertaken to examine the effectiveness of anti-SCLC rat monoclonal antib...

The demand for privacy of digital data and of algorithms for handling more complex structures have increased exponentially over the last decade. This goes in parallel with the growth in communication networks and their devices and their increasing capabilities (Sen, 2013a; Sen, 2012d; Sen, 2012c; Bandyopadhyay & Sen, 2011; Sen, 2011b; Sen, 2011c; Sen, 2010c). At the same time, these devices and...
