Regulated exocytosis in many permeabilized cells can be triggered by calcium and nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues. Here we examine the role of these effectors in exocytosis of constitutive vesicles using a system that reconstitutes transport between the trans-Golgi region and the plasma membrane. Transport is assayed by two independent methods: the movement of a transmembrane glycoprotein (vesicul...

Inferring the origins of hybrid taxa based on morphology alone is difficult because morphologically similar hybrids can arise from hybridization between different populations of the same parental species or be produced by hybridization of different parental species. In this study, we investigated the origins of two semi-creeping taxa in Melastoma, which are morphologically similar to a natural ...

A graph is semi-symmetric if it is regular and edge transitive but not vertex transitive. The 3and 4-valent semi-symmetric graphs are wellstudied. Several papers describe infinite families of such graphs and their properties. 3-valent semi-symmetric graphs have been completely classified up to 768 vertices. The goal of this project is to extend this work to 5-valent semi-symmetric graphs. In th...

Recently, many novel and exotic phases have been proposed by considering the role of topology in non-Hermitian systems, their emergent properties are wide current interest. In this work we propose generalization semi-Dirac semimetals, which feature a linear dispersion along one momentum direction quadratic other. We study topological phase transitions such two-dimensional semimetals presence pa...

Uniform semi-unification is a generalization of unification; its efficient algorithms have been extensively studied in (Kapur et al., 1994) and (Oliart&Snyder, 2004). For (uniform) semi-unification, several variants of rule-based calculi are known. But, some of these calculi in the literature lack the termination property, i.e. not all derivations are terminating. We revisit symbolic semi-unifi...
