It is a well{known exercise in elementary probability that it is impossible to forge two ordinary dice with numbers 1;. . .; 6 in such a way that when one throws both and takes the sum one gets the numbers 2; 3;. . .; 12 all with the same probability. preceding assertion is just the statement that for m = 10, k 1 = k 2 = 5 there are no such probabilities. It will be shown how the k 1 ;. . .; k ...

George Sichermann in 1978 discovered a way to label two six-sided dice that produces outcomes identical to the one which occurs when two standard six-sided dice are rolled. In this talk, I will describe a generalization of this result due to Gallian and Rusin which uses polynomial algebra. I will conclude with a description of several variations on the original problem, several open questions, ...

CD95 (APO-1/Fas) is a death receptor used by immune cells to kill cancer cells through induction of apoptosis. However, the elimination of CD95 or its ligand, CD95L, from cancer cells results in death induced by CD95R/L elimination (DICE), a type of cell death that resembles a necrotic form of mitotic catastrophe suggesting that CD95 protects cancer cells from cell death. We now report that sti...

This paper introduces DICE, a Domain-Independent text Classification Engine. DICE is robust, efficient, and domain-independent in terms of software and architecture. Each module of the system is clearly modularized and encapsulated for extensibility. The clear modular architecture allows for simple and continuous verification and facilitates changes in multiple cycles, even after its major deve...

The ability to control individual spins (the intrinsic units of angular momentum carried by electrons) in semiconductors is an important requirement for a new generation of devices based on spin rather than charge logic. Single magnetic ions are promising for this type of application because of their long spin coherence times. The difficulty lies in addressing these stable but isolated spins, a...

In the 2014 annual meeting of the Korean Society of Mathematical Biology, the managing editor proposed an interesting idea: viewing problematic gambling as a contagious disease [1]. One article was then submitted and enlisted in the June issue of this journal [2]. As part of our efforts to imprint a unique feature to the readers of biomedical journals by publishing at least one mathematical mod...
