Neutrino-induced upward-going muons in MACRO have been analysed in terms of relativity principles violating effects, keeping standard mass-induced atmospheric neutrino oscillations as the dominant source of νμ → ντ transitions. The data disfavor these exotic possibilities even at a sub-dominant level, and stringent 90% C.L. limits are placed on the Lorentz invariance violation parameter |∆v| < ...

Macro tree transducers are a combination of top-down tree transducers and macro grammars. They serve as a model for syntax-directed semantics in which context information can be handled. In this paper the formal model of macro tree transducers is studied by investigating typical automata theoretical topics like composition, decomposition, domains, and ranges of the induced translation classes. ...

Shortly after World War II, many of the leading econometricians collaborated under the aegis of the Cowles Commission and, over the course of a few years, developed a research agenda that structured macroeconometrics for the second half of the 20th century. The central vision of this research program was simple: the development of a mathematical model of the macroeconomy with grounding in econo...

Here, the selection of the formula D for the focus can be taken as selecting among several macro-rules: this derivation illustrates one such macro-rule: the inference rule with conclusion ` Θ,D ⇑ · and with n ≥ 0 premises ` Θ,D ⇑ N1, . . . , ` Θ,D ⇑ Nn (where N1, . . . ,Nn are negative formulas). We shall say that this macro-rule is positive. Similarly, there is a corresponding negative macro-r...

In 2.9% of sera from 1253 unselected patients we detected two different types of macromolecular creatine kinases (CK; EC 2.7.3.2). One macro type was represented by immunoglobulin-linked CK: in sera containing macro CK-BB isoenzyme, 125I-labeled CK-BB was bound with high affinity to the immunoglobulin fraction. Furthermore, during electrophoresis, macro CK-BB mostly migrated between CK-MB and C...

We propose a new class of interconnection networks, called macro-star networks, which belong to the class of Cayley graphs and use the star graph as a basic building module. A macro-star network can have node degree that is considerably smaller than that of a star graph of the same size, and diameter that is sub-logarithmic and asymptotically within a factor of 1.25 from a universal lower bound...

We determined total CK activity with the N-acetylcysteine-activated method and residual activity after immunoinhibition of the CK-M subunits in the sera of 2018 patients consecutively admitted to our university hospital for internal diseases, and of 936 outpatients, regardless of the patients' diagnoses. We could detect not more than two types of macro CK: macro CK type 2, which we observed in ...

We investigated the feasibility of the coexistence of CDMATDD micro cells under a CDMA-FDD macro cell network with both sharing the same frequency band. A dynamic channel allocation (DCA) algorithm decides on the basis of mutual interference which FDD band is to use for the micro cell TDD channel. On the assumption of giving the macro cell higher priority we investigated the lower bound probabi...

Multi-hop relaying deployment are expected to offer coverage extension and throughput enhancement to fulfill the staggering increase in mobile broadband traffic, while reducing the total energy consumption in heterogeneous cellular networks, namely joint macro basestation-relay networks. This paper investigates the impact of relay deployment in long termevolution advanced (LTE-Advanced), as a s...

The ADP-ribosylation of proteins is an important post-translational modification that occurs in a variety of biological processes, including DNA repair, transcription, chromatin biology and long-term memory formation. Yet no protein modules are known that specifically recognize the ADP-ribose nucleotide. We provide biochemical and structural evidence that macro domains are high-affinity ADP-rib...
