description: We discuss in many details two quantum mechanical models of planar electrons which are very much related to the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. In particular, we discuss the localization properties of the trial ground states of the models starting from considerations on the numerical results on the energy. We conclude that wavelet theory can be conveniently used in the description of the system. Finally we suggest applications of our results to the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect.

description: This paper presents a systematic survey of the deuterated and 13C isotopologues of a variety of oxygen-bearing complex organic molecules on Solar System scales toward the protostar IRAS 16293-2422B. We use the data from an unbiased molecular line survey between 329 and 363 GHz from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The observations probe scales of 60 AU where most of the organic molecules have sublimated off dust grains and are present in the gas-phase. The complex organic molecules can be divided into two groups with one group, the simpler species, showing a D/H ratio of approximately 2% and the other, the more complex species, D/H ratios of 4-8%. This division may reflect the formation time of each species in the ices before or during warm-up/infall of material through the protostellar envelope. No significant differences are seen in the deuteration of different functional groups for individual species, possibly a result of the short time-scale for infall through the innermost warm regions where exchange reactions between different species may be taking place. The species show differences in excitation temperatures between 125 K and 300 K. This likely reflects the binding energies/sublimation temperatures of the individual species, in good agreement to what has previously been found for high-mass sources. For dimethyl ether, the 12C/13C ratio is found to be lower by up to a factor of 2 compared to typical ISM values similar to what has previously been inferred for glycolaldehyde. The results point to the importance of ice surface chemistry for the formation of these complex organic molecules at different stages in the evolution of embedded protostars and demonstrate the use of accurate isotope measurements for understanding the history of individual species.

description: We formulate an isoperimetric deformation of curves on the Minkowski plane, which is governed by the defocusing mKdV equation. Two classes of exact solutions to the defocusing mKdV equation are also presented in terms of the $τ$ functions. By using one of these classes, we construct an explicit formula for the corresponding motion of curves on the Minkowski plane even though those solutions have singular points. Another class give regular solutions to the defocusing mKdV equation. Some pictures illustrating typical dynamics of the curves are presented.
Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthesis from glutamate by rat intestinal mucosa.
Creators: name: Wakabayashi, Y
name: Jones, M E
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1983

description: The mitochondria of rat intestinal mucosa were found to have an enzymatic activity that converts radioactive glutamate to pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) in the presence of ATP, NADPH, and MgCl2. The product of this enzyme was identified as P5C by the fact that it was converted to proline by chemical reduction with NaBH4 or by enzymatic reduction with NADH in the presence of purified yeast P5C reductase. The product was demonstrated to be P5C rather than pyrroline-2-carboxylate by thin layer chromatography. The presence of the activity in mitochondria prepared from intestinal mucosa of germ-free rats proved that this activity is of mammalian origin. Omission of either ATP, NADPH, or MgCl2 from the reaction mixture resulted in little or no activity. The optimal pH appeared to be about 7.0 under the conditions used. Substrate saturation curves in the presence of an ATP and an NADPH regeneration system gave apparent Km values of 2.5 mM for glutamate, 0.19 mM for ATP, and 6.5 microM for NADPH in the presence of 20 mM MgCl2. The mitochondrial preparation usually produced P5C at a rate of 1.2 to 1.6 nmol/mg/min at 20 degrees C when incubated with 1 mM glutamate, 3 mM ATP, 0.2 mM NADPH, and 20 mM MgCl2.

Rate for nucleotide release from tubulin.
Creators: name: Brylawski, B P
name: Caplow, M
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1983

description: The lower limit for the first order rate constant for dissociation of GDP from the tubulin E-site has been determined to be 0.14 s-1; this corresponds to a reaction with a half-life of 5 s. Using this rate constant and the previously determined equilibrium constant for GDP dissociation, equal to 6.1 X 10(-8) M (Zeeberg, B., and Caplow, M. (1979) Biochemistry 18, 3880-3886), the calculated association rate constant is 2.2 X 10(6) M-1 s-1. The tubulin E-site is highly reactive and it is calculated that: the half-life is 5 s for quantitative displacement of E-site bound radioactive GDP, by added excess nonradioactive GDP; the half-life is about 260 ms for isotopic equilibration when a trace amount of radioactive GDP is added to 20 microM tubulin-GDP; the half-life is about 850 ms for re-establishing the equilibrium for GDP binding, when 20 microM tubulin is diluted 20-fold. Thus, tubulin-GDP nucleotide exchange is rapid, so that added radioactive guanine nucleotides can be used in studies of relatively rapid reactions involving the tubulin subunit.

The main question is, of course, whether we can convince ourselves and the community at large that the QGP is in fact produced at SPS. We came a long way toward the positive answer, and are definitely on strongly rising part of the learning curve. Still, in few key directions we lack important pieces of evidences.

description: Recent studies on image memorability have shed light on the visual features that make generic images, object images or face photographs memorable. However, a clear understanding and reliable estimation of natural scene memorability remain elusive. In this paper, we provide an attempt to answer: "what exactly makes natural scene memorable". Specifically, we first build LNSIM, a large-scale natural scene image memorability database (containing 2,632 images and memorability annotations). Then, we mine our database to investigate how low-, middle- and high-level handcrafted features affect the memorability of natural scene. In particular, we find that high-level feature of scene category is rather correlated with natural scene memorability. Thus, we propose a deep neural network based natural scene memorability (DeepNSM) predictor, which takes advantage of scene category. Finally, the experimental results validate the effectiveness of DeepNSM.

Solubilization of EGF receptor with Triton X-100 alters stimulation of tyrosine residue phosphorylation by EGF and dimethyl sulfoxide.
Creators: name: Earp, HS
name: Rubin, Richard
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1983

description: In isolated hepatic membranes, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and the polar solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) selectively stimulated the phosphorylation of the 170,000-dalton EGF receptor (p170) by 13.6 +/- 2.0- and 10.9 +/- 1.1-fold, respectively. The stimulation by maximally effective concentrations of the two substances was similar in rapidity of onset (less than 30 s at 0 degree C), time course of phosphorylation, and tyrosine residue specificity. These maximal effects were not additive when the substances were combined, indicating that the same kinase/substrate combination is activated by each. The lectin concanavalin A, which inhibits EGF receptor binding, blocked the effect of EGF but not Me2SO. In membranes solubilized with Triton X-100, EGF stimulated p170 phosphorylation by 40- to 55-fold. Me2SO also stimulated phosphorylation, indicating that it acts directly on the protein. However, the effect of the solvent was reduced by half. Additionally, Me2SO blocks the effect of EGF in the solubilized preparation. A room temperature preincubation after addition of either substance was necessary for maximal stimulation of p170 phosphorylation in solubilized membranes. With EGF, 30-40 min was necessary; with Me2SO, only 10 min was required. Thus, a secondary process appears to be involved in EGF receptor/kinase activation.

Pheidole crassicornis subsp. tetra Creighton 1950a: 176, first available use of Pheidole crassicornis subsp. porcula var. tetra Wheeler 1908h: 467, unavailable name (quadrinomial).
Types Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard.
Etymology Gr tetra, four, significance unknown.
Diagnosis Very close to crassicornis, from which it differs in the major by its generally abundant pilosity, and diversipilosa, from which it differs in the longer pilosity on the first gastral tergite and abundant hairs on the waist and occiput. Also resembles porcula in various traits as depicted.
Measurements (mm) Lectotype major: HW 1.34, HL 1.36, SL 0.72, EL 0.20, PW 0.66. Paralectotype minor: HW 0.66, HL 0.74, SL 0.74, EL 0.14, PW 0.44. Color Major and minor: concolorous light to dark reddish brown.
Range Known from St. Louis Co., Missouri; Ouachita Mts., Montgomery Co., Arkansas; central and western Texas; and the mountains of southern Arizona at 1280-1580 m.
Biology In the Ouachita Mts. of Arkansas, Stefan Cover (unpublished field notes) found colonies at three localities in open areas of mixed pine-hardwood forest, nesting beneath rocks. At the Pedernales Falls State Park, Blanco Co., Texas, he found two colonies under rocks in grassy clearings, nesting in sandy soil; and in Cochise Co., Arizona, Cover discovered a colony in cottonwood floodplain forest, apparently nesting in open soil. In western Texas, Moody and Francke (1982) found tetra at 400-1600 m, nesting variously under stones and logs and in open soil.

Somatomedin-C stimulates the phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of its own receptor.

description: Phosphorylation of the somatomedin-C receptor was investigated both in intact IM-9 cells and in IM-9 cells that had been solubilized with Triton X-100. Intact IM-9 cells were incubated with [32P]H3PO4 for 1 h and for an additional 5 min in the absence or presence of insulin or somatomedin-C. The cells were then solubilized and subjected to wheat germ agglutinin Sepharose chromatography. The extent of phosphorylation of insulin and somatomedin-C receptors was assessed by immunoprecipitating the wheat germ agglutinin Sepharose eluates with monoclonal antibodies specific for each receptor and analyzing the immunoprecipitates by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The beta-subunits of both receptors were phosphorylated in the absence of hormone, and the extent of phosphorylation of each receptor was enhanced by both hormones. However, each hormone was more potent than the other in enhancing phosphorylation of its own receptor. The beta-subunit of the somatomedin-C receptor was also phosphorylated when solubilized IM-9 cells that had been purified on wheat germ agglutinin Sepharose were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. In this soluble preparation, phosphorylation occurred on tyrosyl residues and was enhanced by concentrations of somatomedin-C in the range of 2.5 to 250 ng/ml, which is consistent with its receptor affinity. Tyrosyl phosphorylation of the somatomedin-C receptor also occurred when highly purified receptor, prepared by wheat germ agglutinin Sepharose affinity chromatography followed by immunoprecipitation, was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. This indicates that the responsible tyrosyl kinase activity is intrinsic to the receptor or tightly associated with it.

description: The gauge invariant two-point correlator for the gluon field strength tensor is analysed by means of the QCD sum rule method. To this end, we make use of a relation of this correlator to a two-point function for a quark-gluon hybrid in the limit of the quark mass going to infinity. From the sum rules a relation between the gluon correlation length and the gluon condensate is obtained. We briefly compare our results to recent determinations of the field strength correlator on the lattice.

Adenine nucleotide stimulation of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in sarcoplasmic reticulum
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1984

description: Rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was fractionated into a "Ca2+-release" and "control" fraction by differential and sucrose gradient centrifugation. External Ca2+ (2-20 microM) caused the release of 40 nmol of 45Ca2+/mg of protein/s from Ca2+-release vesicles passively loaded at pH 6.8 with an internal half-saturation Ca2+ concentration of 10-20 mM. Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release had an approximate pK value of 6.6 and was half-maximally inhibited at an external Ca2+ concentration of 2 X 10(-4) M and Mg2+ concentration of 7 X 10(-5) M. 45Ca2+ efflux from control vesicles was slightly inhibited at external Ca2+ concentrations that stimulated the rapid release of Ca2+ from Ca2+-release vesicles. Adenine, adenosine, and derived nucleotides caused stimulation of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in media containing a "physiological" free Mg2+ concentration of 0.6 mM. At a concentration of 1 mM, the order of effectiveness was AMP-PCP greater than cAMP approximately AMP approximately ADP greater than adenine greater than adenosine. Other nucleoside triphosphates and caffeine were minimally effective in increasing 45Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded Ca2+-release vesicles. La3+, ruthenium red, and procaine inhibited Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. Ca2+ flux studies with actively loaded vesicles also indicated that a subpopulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles contains a Ca2+ permeation system that is activated by adenine nucleotides.

description: The influence of a staggered molecular field in frustrated rare-earth pyrochlores, produced via the magnetic iridium occupying the transition metal site, can generate exotic ground states, such as the fragmentation of the magnetization in the Ho compound. At variance with the Ising Ho$^{3+}$ moment, we focus on the behavior of the quasi isotropic magnetic moment of the Gd$^{3+}$ ion at the rare-earth site. By means of macroscopic measurements and neutron scattering, we find a complex situation where different components of the magnetic moment contribute to two antiferromagnetic non-collinear arrangements: a high temperature all in - all out order induced by the Ir molecular field, and Palmer and Chalker correlations that tend to order at much lower temperatures. This is enabled by the anisotropic nature of the Gd-Gd interactions and requires a weak easy-plane anisotropy of the Gd$^{3+}$ moment due to the mixing of the ground state with multiplets of higher spectral terms.

description: Competition by beta-adrenergic agonists and antagonists for 125I-pindolol binding sites on intact cells (1321N1 human astrocytoma and C62B rat glioma) was measured using short time binding assays as previously described (Toews, M. L., Harden, T. K., and Perkins, J. P. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 80, 3553-3557). Preincubation of cells with agonists converted about half of the cellular beta-adrenergic receptors from a form exhibiting high affinity for the agonists isoproterenol and epinephrine and the antagonist sotalol to a form exhibiting much lower apparent affinity for these ligands in short time assays. Exposure to agonists did not alter the affinity of receptors for the antagonist metoprolol. This change in the ligand binding properties of the receptor was rapid (t1/2 = 1-2 min following a lag of about 0.5 min), reversible (t1/2 = 6-8 min), and dependent on the agonist concentration present during the preincubation (K0.5 = 15 nM for isoproterenol). Both isoproterenol and sotalol attained equilibrium with the high affinity receptors very rapidly but equilibrated only slowly with those receptors exhibiting low apparent affinity in short time assays. These results are interpreted in terms of a model which postulates that both the low apparent affinity in short time assays and the subsequent slow equilibration of hydrophilic ligands with these receptors result from agonist-induced internalization of a fraction of cell surface beta-adrenergic receptors. The relationship of this change in receptor binding properties to other aspects of agonist-induced desensitization of the beta-adrenergic receptor-coupled adenylate cyclase system is discussed.
On the subunit composition of the Neurospora plasma membrane H+-ATPase.

description: The resolution-reconstitution approach has been employed in order to gain information as to the subunit composition of the Neurospora plasma membrane H+-ATPase. Proteoliposomes prepared from sonicated asolectin and a highly purified, radiolabeled preparation of the 105,000-dalton hydrolytic moiety of the H+-ATPase by a freeze-thaw procedure catalyze ATP hydrolysis-dependent proton translocation as indicated by the extensive 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine fluorescence quenching that occurs upon the addition of MgATP to the proteoliposomes, and the reversal of this quenching induced by the H+-ATPase inhibitor, vanadate, and the proton conductors, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and nigericin plus K+. ATP hydrolysis is tightly coupled to proton translocation into the liposomes as indicated by the marked stimulation of ATP hydrolysis by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and nigericin plus K+. The maximum stimulation of ATPase activity by proton conductors is about 3-fold, which indicates that at least two-thirds of the hydrolytically active ATPase molecules present in the reconstituted preparation are capable of translocating protons into the liposomes. Furthermore, as estimated by the extent of protection of the reconstituted 105,000-dalton hydrolytic moiety against tryptic degradation by vanadate in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP, the fraction of the total population of ATPase molecules that are hydrolytically active is at least 91%. Taken together, these data indicate that at least 61% of the ATPase molecules present in the reconstituted preparation are able to catalyze proton translocation. This information allows an estimation of the amount of any polypeptide in the preparation that must be present in order for that polypeptide to qualify as a subunit that is required for proton translocation in addition to the 105,000-dalton hydrolytic moiety, and an analysis of the radiolabeled ATPase preparation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and urea rules out the involvement of any such polypeptides larger than 2,500 daltons. This indicates that the Neurospora plasma membrane H+-ATPase has no subunits even vaguely resembling any that have been found to be associated with other transport ATPases and that if this enzyme has any subunits at all other than the 105,000-dalton hydrolytic moiety, they must be very small.

Twist-4 contribution to unpolarized structure functions F_L and F_2 from instantons

description: We compute in the instanton vacuum the nucleon matrix elements of the twist-4 QCD operators describing power corrections to the second moments of the unpolarized structure functions, F_L and F_2. Our approach takes into account the leading contribution in the packing fraction of the instanton medium, rho / R << 1. Parametrically leading are the matrix elements of a twist-4 quark-gluon operator, which are of the order of the inverse instanton size, 1/rho^2 = (600 MeV)^2. The matrix elements of the four-fermion (diquark) operators are suppressed by a factor (rho / R)^4 and numerically small. These results are in agreement with the pattern of phenomenological 1/Q^2-corrections to R = sigma_L / sigma_T and F_2 found in QCD fits to the data. In particular, the rise of R at low Q^2 can be obtained from instanton-type vacuum fluctuations at a low scale.

Pheidole adrianoi Naves 1985: 56.
Types Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard; Florida State Collection of Arthropods.
Etymology Eponymous.
Diagnosis A small brown member of the pilifera group distinguished by the following combination of traits. Major: diminished, nearly invisible mesonotal convexity; metanotal groove absent, with metanotal profile forming a continuous line with that of the propodeal basal face; propodeal spines long, thick, blunt-tipped; mesopleuron and sides of pronotum and propodeum completely covered by longitudinal carinulae, but promesonotal dorsum smooth and shiny; postpetiolar node diamond-shaped viewed from above.
Minor: profde of promesonotal dorsum smoothly convex; propodeal spines short and stout; mesopleuron and side of propodeum foveolate and opaque but lacking carinulae.
Close to davisi but differing in the above and other characters.
Measurements (mm) Paratype major: HW 0.86, HL 0.92, SL 0.46, EL 0.14, PW 0.44. Paratype minor: HW 0.38, HL 0.42, SL 0.38, EL 0.10, PW 0.24.
Color Major: body mostly plain medium brown, gaster dark brown, appendages yellowish brown.
Minor: body medium to dark brown, appendages medium brown.
Range Central and northern Florida, west to Okaloosa Co. in the Florida panhandle.
Biology Marcio Naves (1985) found P. adrianoi common within its range, nesting in sandy soil in clear areas within forests -a habitat also preferred by P. metallescens, which resembles it in the field to the naked eye. According to Stefan Cover (personal communication), adrianoi is typically associated with white-sand gaps in pine-oak forest. The colonies contain about 60 majors and more than 300 minors. The nest entrance, surrounded by a crater of excavated soil, leads through a vertical tunnel 1-2 mm in diameter to a main chamber 30 to 40 cm beneath the surface. Mature colonies contain about 60 majors and more than 300 minors. Both castes engage in strictly diumal foraging, and the majors participate in the retrieval of food. The main diet is seeds, although the workers also scavenge for small dead arthropods. The main flights of the winged sexual forms occur in July and August.

description: We present a dynamical study of $e^+e^-$ and $μ^+ μ^-$ production in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at CERN-SPS energies on the basis of the covariant transport approach HSD employing a momentum-dependent $ρ$-meson spectral function that includes the pion modifications in the nuclear medium as well as the polarization of the $ρ$-meson due to resonant $ρ$$-N$ scattering. We find that the experimental data from the CERES and HELIOS-3 Collaborations can be described equally well as within the dropping $ρ$-mass scenario. Whereas corresponding dilepton $q_T$-spectra are found to be very similar, the inclusive dilepton yield in the invariant mass range $0.85 \leq M \leq 1.0$ GeV should allow to disentangle the two scenarios experimentally.

description: Escherichia coli photolyase is a DNA repair enzyme which monomerizes pyrimidine dimers, the major UV photoproducts in DNA, to pyrimidines in a light-dependent reaction. We recently described the construction of a tac-phr plasmid that greatly overproduces the enzyme (Sancar, G. B., Smith, F. W., and Sancar, A. (1983) Nucleic Acids Res. 11, 6667-6678). Using a strain carrying the overproducing plasmid as the starting material, we have developed a purification procedure that yields several milligrams of apparently homogeneous enzyme. The purified protein is a single polypeptide that has an apparent Mr of 49,000 under both denaturing and nondenaturing conditions. The enzyme has no requirement for divalent cations and it restores the biological activity of irradiated DNA only in the presence of photoreactivating light. The purified photolyase has a turnover number of 2.4 dimers/molecule/min; this value agrees well with the in vivo rate of photoreactivation in E. coli.
