Single-input single-output (SISO), systems with zeros interlacing poles (ZIP) have been extensively studied in the literature and received interest widely. However, ZIP property for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), has not pursued sufficiently. In this article, we pursue MIMO link to strict passivity. For class of that admit a symmetric state-space realization, which SISO case is equivale...

Ziprasidone (ZIP) shows a low propensity for metabolic side effects but can prolong QTc time. It is unclear how these features translate into clinical reality. Charts of inpatients with schizophrenia and switched from (ZIP - , n = 27) or to ZIP (ZIP + , n = 24) were reviewed. Clinical data including documented switch reasons were anonymously analyzed. Comorbidity, body mass index (BMI) at admis...

The ζ-inhibitory peptide (ZIP) is considered a candidate inhibitor of the atypical protein kinase Mζ (PKMζ). ZIP has been shown to reverse established LTP and disrupt several forms of long-term memory. However, recent studies have challenged the specificity of ZIP, as it was reported to exert its effect also in PKMζ knock-out mice. These results raise the question of what are the targets of ZIP...

This paper describes a new approach to ZIP code recognition using a word recognition algorithm, where a numeral string is recognized as a word. This paper also describes an end to end ZIP code recognition system consisting of tiltlslant correction, line segmentation, word segmentation, ZIP code location, as well as the ZIP code recognition. Evaluation tests are performed using address block ima...

The inhibition of myosin phosphatase evokes smooth muscle contraction in the absence of Ca(2+), yet the underlying mechanisms are not understood. To this end, we have cloned smooth muscle zipper-interacting protein (ZIP) kinase cDNA. ZIP kinase is present in various smooth muscle tissues including arteries. Triton X-100 skinning did not diminish ZIP kinase content, suggesting that ZIP kinase as...

Flower senescence is initiated by developmental and environmental signals, and regulated by gene transcription. A homeodomain-leucine zipper transcription factor, PhHD-Zip, is up-regulated during petunia flower senescence. Virus-induced gene silencing of PhHD-Zip extended flower life by 20% both in unpollinated and pollinated flowers. Silencing PhHD-Zip also dramatically reduced ethylene produc...

Methods The data elements that were included in this study were: daily emergency department (ED) ILI rate, 7 day moving average ED ILI rate, zip code, and date from October 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The data region was the catchment area of an urban academic medical center (AMC). The data were processed using the GUARDIAN (Geographic Utilization of Artificial Intelligence in Real-Time for Dise...
