BACKGROUND: In order to improve gene prediction, extrinsic evidence on the gene structure can be collected from various sources of information such as genome-genome comparisons and EST and protein alignments. However, such ...

Stable single-alpha helices (SAHs) are versatile structural elements in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins acting as semi-flexible linkers and constant force springs. This way SAH-domains function as part of the lever ...

In this paper we propose an approximation for the Traveling Tournament Problem which is the problem of designing a schedule for a sports league consisting of a set of teams T such that the total traveling costs of the ...

Abstract Background Transcription factors (TFs) are important regulatory proteins that govern transcriptional regulation. Today, it is known that in higher organisms different TFs have to cooperate rather than acting ...

We numerically solve the classical “Game of Pure Strategy” using linear programming. We notice an intricate even-odd behaviour in the results of our computations that seems to encourage odd or maximal bids.

This book contains the full text of the letters from Emil Artin to Helmut Hasse, as they are preserved in the Handschriftenabteilung of the Göttingen University Library. There are 49 such letters, written in the years ...

These proceedings contain most of the contributions to the Göttingen-Jerusalem Conference 2008 on "Symmetries in Algebra and Number Theory" including three addresses given at the conference opening, and two contributions ...

Moduli Theory is one of those areas of Mathematics that has fascinated minds from classical to modern times. This has been so because it reveals beautiful Geometry naturally hidden in questions involving classification of ...

Let K be a totally real number field, π an irreducible cuspidal representation of $${{\rm GL}_{2}(K){\backslash}{\rm GL}_{2}(\mathbb{A}K)}$$ with unitary central character, and χ a Hecke character of conductor $${\mathfrak{q}}$$. ...

Let X be a locally compact space with a continuous proper action of a locally compact group G. Assuming that X satisfies a certain kind of duality in equivariant bivariant Kasparov theory, we can enrich the classical ...
