in this paper, we present a binary-linear optimization model to prevent the spread of an infectious disease in a community. the model is based on the remotion of some connections in a contact network in order to separate infected nodes from the others. by using this model we nd an exact optimal solution and determine not only the minimum number of deleted links but also their exact positions. ...

A line of mouse leukemia L1210 cells resistant to c/'s-diamminedichloroplatinum(ll) (c/s-DDP)was compared with its parent cell line in order to determine whether the sensitivity difference could be related to DNA interstrand cross-linking as measured by the alkaline elution technique. The study was stimulated by a previous finding that the magnitude of DNA interstrand crosslinking, although som...

A line of mouse leukemia L1210 cells resistant to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) was compared with its parent cell line in order to determine whether the sensitivity difference could be related to DNA interstrand cross-linking as measured by the alkaline elution technique. The study was stimulated by a previous finding that the magnitude of DNA interstrand cross-linking, although so...

In this paper we review the major contributions over the past sixty years to the subject of twin reduction and twin removal in holography. We show that this collective work may be broken down into a number of categories including the well known techniques of off-axis holography and phase retrieval.

Wound healing is a major burden of healthcare systems worldwide and hydrogel dressings offer a moist environment conducive to healing. We describe cysteine-containing ultrashort peptides that self-assemble spontaneously into hydrogels. After disulfide crosslinking, the optically-transparent hydrogels became significantly stiffer and exhibited high shape fidelity. The peptide sequence (LIVAGKC o...

The observed structure of protein interaction networks is corrupted by many false positive/negative links. This observational incompleteness is abstracted as random link removal and a specific, experimentally motivated (spoke) link rearrangement. Their impact on the structural properties of gene-duplication-and-mutation network models is studied. For the degree distribution a curve collapse is ...
