We consider the problem of online load balancing under lp-norms: sequential jobs need to be assigned to one of the machines and the goal is to minimize the lp-norm of the machine loads. This generalizes the classical problem of scheduling for makespan minimization (case l∞) and has been thoroughly studied. However, despite the recent push for beyond worst-case analyses, no such results are know...

In this paper, simultaneous strong stabilization problem is considered, and it is shown that there is no upper bound for the minimal order of a simultaneously strongly stabilizing compensator, in terms of the plant orders. A similar problem was also considered in 1111, where it was shown that such a bound does not exist for the strong stabilization problem of a single plant. But the examples gi...

A heterotropic allosteric effect involves an effector molecule that is distinct from the substrate or ligand of the protein. How heterotropic allostery originates is an unanswered question. We have previously created several heterotropic allosteric enzymes by recombining the genes for TEM1 beta-lactamase (BLA) and maltose binding protein (MBP) to create BLAs that are positively or negatively re...

A number of neutrophilic dermatoses are associated with malignancies and their treatment. These rarely occur together in the same patient. A Caucasian 72-year-old male was treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with chemotherapy including daunorubicin and cytarabine. Within 48 hours of commencing treatment, he developed pyrexia and, two days later, disseminated non-tender pink plaques on the ...
