Survey of the didemnins: A class of depsipeptide natural products with promising biomedical applications
The didemnins represent a versatile class of depsipeptides of marine origin and hold a great deal of potential for biomedical application. The biological and geographical origins of the didemnins are reviewed in addition to the chemical structures of the major didemnins. The biological mechanisms behind the antiviral a...

Planetary Radii across Five Orders of Magnitude in Mass and Stellar Insolation: Application to Transits
To aid in the physical interpretation of planetary radii constrained through observations of transiting planets, or eventually direct detections, we compute model radii of pure hydrogen-helium, water, rock, and iron planets, along with various mixtures. Masses ranging from 0.01 Earth masses to 10 Jupiter masses at orbi...

Optimal signal processing in small stochastic biochemical networks
We quantify the influence of the topology of a transcriptional regulatory network on its ability to process environmental signals. By posing the problem in terms of information theory, we may do this without specifying the function performed by the network. Specifically, we study the maximum mutual information between ...

Theoretical study of the thermal behavior of free and alumina-supported Fe-C nanoparticles
The thermal behavior of free and alumina-supported iron-carbon nanoparticles is investigated via molecular dynamics simulations, in which the effect of the substrate is treated with a simple Morse potential fitted to ab initio data. We observe that the presence of the substrate raises the melting temperature of medium ...

Graph states as ground states of many-body spin-1/2 Hamiltonians
We consider the problem whether graph states can be ground states of local interaction Hamiltonians. For Hamiltonians acting on n qubits that involve at most two-body interactions, we show that no n-qubit graph state can be the exact, non-degenerate ground state. We determine for any graph state the minimal d such that...

High-dimensional classification using features annealed independence rules
Classification using high-dimensional features arises frequently in many contemporary statistical studies such as tumor classification using microarray or other high-throughput data. The impact of dimensionality on classifications is poorly understood. In a seminal paper, Bickel and Levina [Bernoulli 10 (2004) 989--101...

A Survey of Weak MgII Absorbers at 0.4 < z < 2.4
We present results from a survey of weak MgII absorbers in the VLT/UVES spectra of 81 QSOs obtained from the ESO archive. In this survey, we identified 112 weak MgII systems within the redshift interval 0.4 < z < 2.4 with 86% completeness down to a rest-frame equivalent width of W_r(2796) = 0.02A, covering a cumulative...

High Dimensional Covariance Matrix Estimation Using a Factor Model
High dimensionality comparable to sample size is common in many statistical problems. We examine covariance matrix estimation in the asymptotic framework that the dimensionality $p$ tends to $\infty$ as the sample size $n$ increases. Motivated by the Arbitrage Pricing Theory in finance, a multi-factor model is employed...

Enhanced functions supporting process planning for aircraft structural parts
Aiming at automating the different trades intervening in mechanical parts' design activities, one finds the weakest link within the interface linking the computer aided-design trade (CAD) and the process planning trade (CAPP) where a huge semantic gap is detected. Works generally tends to optimize the pre-process plann...

QCD with light Wilson quarks on fine lattices (II): DD-HMC simulations and data analysis
In this second report on our recent numerical simulations of two-flavour QCD, we provide further technical details on the simulations and describe the methods we used to extract the meson masses and decay constants from the generated ensembles of gauge fields. Among the topics covered are the choice of the DD-HMC param...

Spectral signatures of photosynthesis II: coevolution with other stars and the atmosphere on extrasolar worlds
As photosynthesis on Earth produces the primary signatures of life that can be detected astronomically at the global scale, a strong focus of the search for extrasolar life will be photosynthesis, particularly photosynthesis that has evolved with a different parent star. We take planetary atmospheric compositions simul...
