Galois Field Sum of Products (GFSOP) leads to efficient multi-valued reversible circuit synthesis using quantum gates. In this paper, we propose a new generalization of ternary Toffoli gate and another new generalized reversible ternary gate with discussion of their quantum realizations. Algorithms for synthesizing ternary GFSOP using quantum cascades of these gates are proposed. In both the sy...

Comparison of DNA from virulent strains of bacterial pathogens with DNA from less virulent or avirulent close relatives allows the identification of those genomic regions that are present only in virulent strains. Such regions are often associated with pathogenicity islands (PIs) and their characterisation can lead to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. There is ...

Here we describe a reliable method for isolating genes that are differentially expressed in two cell populations. The method is a combination of subtractive hybridization and PCR. Among many improvements to previously described methods is the incorporation of a new technology into the procedure which sterilizes(inactivates) PCR amplicons, and thereby overcomes the limitation of similar procedur...

Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) is a widely used method for separating DNA molecules that distinguish two closely related DNA samples. Two of the main SSH applications are cDNA subtraction and genomic DNA subtraction. In fact, SSH is one of the most powerful and popular methods for generating subtracted cDNA or genomic DNA libraries. The SSH method is based on a suppression PCR effe...

I present an algorithm for computationally mixing screen colors (RGB colors) subtractively, written for a general audience. The question it addresses is, “Given two colors specified by their RGB triplets, what RGB triplet should be used to represent the color that would arise if the two colors were mixed like paint colors, i.e., mixed subtractively?” The only way I can think of doing this in a ...

Experimental determination of solubility and ternary phase diagram of chiral compound are of tedious and time consuming tasks, and in many cases, there is not enough experimental data for different enantiomeric compositions to access the experimental ternary phase diagram. Using thermodynamic models with predictive capability, having less dependency on experimental data, affords a great advanta...

We consider two analogues of associativity for ternary algebras: total and partial associativity. Using the corresponding ternary associators, we define ternary analogues of alternative and assosymmetric algebras. On any ternary algebra the alternating sum [a, b, c] = abc − acb − bac + bca + cab − cba (the ternary analogue of the Lie bracket) defines a structure of an anticommutative ternary al...

In the context of MultiCriteria Decision Aid, we present new properties of a 2-additive bi-capacity by using a bipolar Möbius transform. We use these properties in the identification of a 2-additive bi-capacity when we represent a cardinal information by a Choquet integral with respect to a 2-additive bi-capacity.

We consider straight-line drawings of trees on a hexagonal grid. The hexagonal grid is an extension of the common grid with inner nodes of degree six. We restrict the number of directions used for the edges from each node to its children from one to five, and to five patterns: straight, Y , ψ, X, and full. The ψ–drawings generalize hvor strictly upward drawings to ternary trees. We show that co...

Cutting forces prediction is very important for cutting tool’s design and process planning. This paper presents a fuzzy cutting force modelling method using subtractive clustering for learning evaluation. In this method, subtractive clustering, combined with the least-square algorithm, identifies the fuzzy prediction model directly from the information obtained from the sensors. In the micro-mi...
