In this study, MCS is applied to compute the reliability of the nodes and the network under uncertain demand and roughness, and to determine how reliability is distributed among the various nodes of WDN, as well as assessing the reliability of the network as a series or parallel system. The effect of the resilience index on the nodal and network reliability is also assessed.

This research is built upon the determination of the Eigenpairs of one and two dimensional positive differential operators with periodic boundary conditions. The Schrödinger equation was solved for positive operators in both one and two dimensions. Fourier series were used to express the derivatives as the summation of Fourier terms. This led to a novel approach for the calculation of the eigenmodels of a perturbed potential well. The perturbation can be done via an electric field applied to the potential well.

This thesis addresses important issues about how to make game characters and virtual agents more realistic or believable by using cognitive-social personality theories. We begin motivation by discussing two examples. The first is from a television series and the second is a more concrete example that will be used throughout the thesis to explain concepts and the model. These examples represent the ideal goal of our work.

Epigenetic defects (gain or loss of DNA methylation) of the human ICR1 11p15 domain result in two opposite foetal growth disorders (BWS and SRS) depending on which parental allele is affected. A few deletions within ICR1 have been reported in familial BWS cases with ICR1 gain of methylation, however the mechanism(s) of the DNA methylation defects at ICR1 remains largely unknown in most BWS and SRS patients.

This dissertation is composed of two parts, an integrative essay and a set of published papers. The essay and the collection of papers are placed in the context of development and application of time series econometric models in a temporal-axis from 1970s through 2005, with particular focus in the Marketing discipline. The main aim of the integrative essay is on modelling the effects of marketing actions on performance variables, such as sales and market share in competitive markets.

In the first lesson of inorganic chemistry lab, preparing and testing solutions are two basic tasks needed to perform well. Dissolving a solid solute in the solvent or diluting the stock solution (a dilution series by using two techniques that are making parallel dilutions and serial dilutions) is to prepare solution with desired concentration of solute or desired volume.

Thesis with the aim of focusing on two main issues. The first is time series modeling by states in which each state is a deterministic probability distribution (normal distribution). Based on the experimental results to assess the suitability of the model. Second, combine Markov chains and fuzzy time series into new models to improve forecast accuracy. Expand the model with high-level Markov chains to be compatible with seasonal data.

This paper deals with the purification and the partial char-acterization of glutathione S-transferase (GST) isoforms from the clam Ruditapes decussatus. For the first step of purification, two affinity columns, reduced glutathione (GSH)–agarose and S-hexyl GSH–agarose, were mounted in series. Four affinity fractionswere thus recovered. Further purification was performed using anion exchange chroma-tography. Seven fractions,whichpresent aGSTactivitywith 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) as substrate, were collected and analyzed by RP-HPLC....

ATP-sensitive K + channels are an octameric assembly of two proteins, a sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1)and an ion conducting subunit (Kir 6.0). We have examined the role of the C-terminus of SUR1 by expressing a series of truncation mutants together with Kir6.2 stably in HEK293 cells. Bio-chemical analyses using coimmunoprecipitation indicate that SUR1 deletionmutants andKir6.2 assemble and that a SUR1 deletion mutant binds glibenclamide with high affin-ity.

To elucidate the structural features of the mussel defensin MGD1 required for antimicrobial activity, we synthesized a series of peptides corresponding to the main known secon-dary structures of the molecule and evaluated their activity towards Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and filamentous fungi. We found that the nonapeptide corres-ponding to residues 25–33 of MGD1 (CGGWHRLRC) exhibited bacteriostatic activity once it was cyclized by a non-naturally occurring disulfide bridge.

Kinetic experiments with a substrate series of phenylacetyl-arylamides reveal that at least one polar group in the amine moiety is required for the proper orientation of the substrate in the large nucleophile-binding subsite of penicillin acylase ofEscherichia coli. Quantum mechanical molecular model-ling of enzyme–substrate interactions in the enzyme active site shows that in the case of substrates lacking local sym-metry, the productive binding implies two nonsymmetrical arrangements with respect to the two positively charged guanidinium residues of ArgA145 and ArgB263....

In this series of four minireviews the field of scaffold proteins and proteins of similar molecular⁄cellular functions is overviewed. By binding and bring-ing into proximity two or more signaling proteins, these proteins direct the flow of information in the cell by activating, coordinating and regulating signaling events in regulatory networks.

This paper is the first in a series where we describe the space of all embedded minimal surfaces of fixed genus in a fixed (but arbitrary) closed Riemannian 3-manifold. The key for understanding such surfaces is to understand the local structure in a ball and in particular the structure of an embedded minimal disk in a ball in R3 (with the flat metric). This study is undertaken here and completed in [CM6]. These local results are then applied in [CM7] where we describe the general structure of fixed genus surfaces in 3-manifolds. There are two local models for...

In the first two articles of this series, we investigated various higher analogues of Gauss composition, and showed how several algebraic objects involving orders in quadratic and cubic fields could be explicitly parametrized. In particular, a central role in the theory was played by the parametrizations of the quadratic and cubic rings themselves. These parametrizations are beautiful and easy to state.

An extension of the Littlewood Restriction Rule is given that covers all pertinent parameters and simplifies to the original under Littlewood’s hypotheses. Two formulas are derived for the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of any unitary highest weight representation occurring in a dual pair setting, one in terms of the dual pair index and the other in terms of the highest weight.

We give infinite series of groups Γ and of compact complex surfaces of general type S with fundamental group Γ such that 1) Any surface S with the same Euler number as S, and fundamental group Γ, is diffeomorphic to S. 2) The moduli space of S consists of exactly two connected components, exchanged by complex conjugation. Whence, i) On the one hand we give simple counterexamples to the DEF = DIFF question whether deformation type and diffeomorphism type coincide for algebraic surfaces. ii) On the other hand we get examples of moduli spaces without real points. iii)...
