The nucleotide composition of human genes with a special emphasis on transcription-related strand asymmetries is analyzed. Such asymmetries may be associated with different mutational rates in two principal factors. The first one is…
In this perspective, the various measures of electron correlation used in wavefunction theory, density functional theory and quantum information theory are briefly reviewed. We then focus on a more traditional metric based on dominant…
Some geometric properties of the wavelet analysis performed by visual neurons are discussed and compared with experimental data. In particular, several relationships between the cortical morphologies and the parametric dependencies of…
Conformal symmetry is broken in physical QCD; nevertheless, one can use conformal symmetry as a template, systematically correcting for its nonzero $\beta$ function as well as higher-twist effects. For example, commensurate scale relations…
It is argued that the CODATA recommended values of the fundamental physical constants could not be used as the reference data in searching the hypothetical space-time variations of the fundamental physical constants. It is shown that the…
The cell cycle is a tightly controlled process, yet its underlying genetic network shows marked differences across species. Which of the associated structural features follow solely from the ability to impose the appropriate gene expression…
We introduce the simple parametrization for the space of codons (triples of nucleotides) by 8\times 8 table. This table (which we call the dyadic plane) possesses the natural 2-adic ultrametric. We show that after this parametrization the…
Quaternions are an important tool to describe the orientation of a molecule. This paper considers the use of quaternions in matching two conformations of a molecule, in interpolating rotations, in performing statistics on orientational…
Some properties of diagonal binomial coefficients were studied in respect to frequency of their units digits. An approach was formulated that led to use of difference tables to predict if certain units digits can appear in the values of…
Establishing explicit formulas of coderivatives with respect to a set of the normal cone mapping to a polyhedron, the solution set of a variational inequalities system, is one of the main goals of this paper. By using our coderivative…
The ability to store data in the DNA of a living organism has applications in a variety of areas including synthetic biology and watermarking of patented genetically-modified organisms. Data stored in this medium is subject to errors…
We analyze recent infrared conductivity data in the normal state of the cuprates. We find that the high frequency behavior, which has been suggested as evidence for quantum critical scaling, is generally characteristic of electrons…
This letter reports complete sets of two-fold symmetries between partitions of the universal genetic code. By substituting bases at each position of the codons according to a fixed rule, it happens that properties of the degeneracy pattern…
An approach based on using the idea of distinguished coding phase in explicit form for identification of protein-coding regions (exons) in whole genome has been proposed. For several genomes an optimal window length for averaging GC-content…
This chapter investigates the properties of (linear) codes in $ A_n $ lattices, the practical motivation for which is found in several communication scenarios, such as asymmetric channels, sticky-insertion channels, bit-shift channels, and…
From the perfect radial symmetries of radiolarian mineral skeletons to the broken symmetry of homochirality, the logic of Nature's regularities has fascinated scientists for centuries. Some of Nature's symmetries are clearly visible in…
Genes are not located randomly along genomes. Synteny, the conservation of their relative positions in genomes of different species, reflects fundamental constraints on natural evolution. We present approaches to infer pairs of co-localized…
Physical mechanisms underlying the empirical correlation between relative contact order (CO) and folding rate among naturally-occurring small single-domain proteins are investigated by evaluating postulated interaction schemes for a set of…
In the realm of algebraic geometric (AG) codes, characterizing dual codes has long been a challenging task. In this paper we introduces a generalized criterion to characterize self-orthogonality of AG codes based on residues, drawing upon…
Biased-coin designs are used in clinical trials to allocate treatments with some randomness while maintaining approximately equal allocation. More recent rules are compared with Efron's [Biometrika 58 (1971) 403-417] biased-coin rule and…
