Large-scale MIMO systems have been considered as one of the possible candidates for the next-generation wireless communication technique, due to their potential to provide significant higher throughput than conventional wireless systems. For such systems, Zero-Forcing (ZF) and Conjugate Beamforming (CB) precoding have been considered as two possible practical spatial multiplexing techniques, an...

A conjugate of a DNA mismatch-specific rhodium intercalator, containing the bulky chrysenediimine ligand, and an aniline mustard has been prepared, and targeting of mismatches in DNA by this conjugate has been examined. The preferential alkylation of mismatched over fully matched DNA is found by a mobility shift assay at concentrations where untethered organic mustards show little reaction. The...

DNA barcodes are short, unique ssDNA primers that "mark" individual biomolecules. To gain better understanding of biophysical parameters constraining primer-dimer formation between primers that incorporate barcode sequences, we have developed a capillary electrophoresis method that utilizes drag-tag-DNA conjugates to quantify dimerization risk between primer-barcode pairs. Results obtained with...

We prove a geometric version of a classical result on the characterization of an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of GLn(AE ) being the base change of a stable cuspidal representation of the quasi-split unitary group associated to the quadratic extension E/F , via the nonvanishing of certain period integrals, called being distinguished. We show that certain cohomology of an autom...

Base-catalyzed urea–formaldehyde condensation reactions were investigated by using a quantum chemistry method. It was found that monomethylolurea or N,N’-dimethylolurea can produce the methyleneurea intermediate (–HN–CO–N=CH2) with the catalysis of base. The E1cb (unimolecular elimination of conjugate base) mechanism was identified for the formation of such an intermediate. The potential energy...

For a local field K with positive residue characteristic p, we introduce, in the first part of this paper, a refinement bArK of the classical Artin distribution ArK . It takes values in cyclotomic extensions of Q which are unramified at p, and it bisects ArK in the sense that ArK is equal to the sum of bArK and its conjugate distribution. Compared with 12ArK , the bisection bArK provides a high...

A chemoenzymatic approach towards benzoylated uronic acid building blocks has been investigated starting with benzoylated hexapyranosides using regioselective C-6 enzymatic hydrolysis as the key step. Two of the building blocks were reacted with the antiepileptic drug lamotrigine. Glucuronidation of lamotrigine using methyl (2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-α-D-glycopyranosyl bromide)uronate proceeded to gi...

We present a short survey of multigrid–based solvers for symmetric eigenvalue problems. We concentrate our attention on “of the shelf” and “black box” methods, which should allow solving eigenvalue problems with minimal, or no, effort on the part of the developer, taking advantage of already existing algorithms and software. We consider a class of such methods, where the multigrid only appears ...

Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic esters, carboxylic amides, imines and N,N-disubstituted hydrazones react as electrophiles at their sp2-hybridized carbon atoms. These compounds also become nucleophiles, if they contain an H atom in the a-position relative to their C O or C N bonds. This is because they can undergo tautomerization to the corresponding enol as seen in Chapter 12. They are also C,H-...
