We show an upper bound of 3n on size of the Binary Space Partitioning (BSP) tree for a set of n isothetic rectangles, and an upper bound of 2n if the rectangles tile the underlying space. This improves the bound of 12n from [PY92] and 4n in [NW95, dAF92]. The BSP tree is one of the most popular

by employing a set of hand-crafted networks (ATNs) which we call ‘Dialogue Action Forms ’ (DAFs). DAFs deterministically guide the progress of a conversation with the user, and are individuated by conversational topic—when the conversation is moved onto a new topic (either by the system or the user), a new DAF

of at least some DAF-16/FOXO target genes. In this study, we show that the DAF-12-sterol signaling pathway has a second function to activate a distinct set of genes and extend lifespan in response to the somatic reproductive tissues. When germline-deficient animals lacking somatic reproductive tissues

Rafts have been implicated in processes such as membrane trafficking, signal transduc-tion, and cell adhesion. Recently, using a chemical cross-linking approach with Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK

and a converse. The capacity we show is strictly smaller than the cut-set bound. Our result also shows the optimality of a combination of decode-and-forward (DAF) and compress-and-forward (CAF) at the noisy relay node. This is the first example where a combination of DAF and CAF is shown to be capacity

Abstract The DFT calculations at the B3LYP level with 6-311G* * basis set were carried out in order to reveal whether tautomerization or decarboxylation is responsible for the instability of 2,2-di(pyridin-2-yl)acetic (DPA) and 1,8-diazafluorene-9-carboxylic (DAF) acids. The carboxyl protons
