The Cost of Perfection for Matchings in Graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Perfect matchings and maximum weight matchings are two fundamental combinatorial structures. We consider the ratio between the maximum weight of a perfect matching and the maximum weight of a general matching.

Neutrinos and Electromagnetic Gauge Invariance [PDF]

open access: yesPhys.Lett. B388 (1996) 338-345, 1996
It is discussed a recently proposed connection among U(1)$_{\rm em}$ electromagnetic gauge invariance and the nature of the neutrino mass terms in the framework of $\mbox {SU(3)}_C\otimes G_W \otimes {\mbox U(1)}_N$, $G_W$ = SU(3)$_L$, extensions of the Standard Model.

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

A catalog of rotational and radial velocities for evolved stars. IV. Metal-poor stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The present paper describes the first results of an observational program intended to refine and extend the existing vsini measurements of metal-poor stars, with anemphasis on field evolved stars. The survey was carried out with the FEROS and CORALIE spectrometers. For the vsini measurements, obtained from spectral synthesis, we estimate an uncertainty

What Is the Molecular Signature of Mind–Body Interventions? A Systematic Review of Gene Expression Changes Induced by Meditation and Related Practices

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
There is considerable evidence for the effectiveness of mind–body interventions (MBIs) in improving mental and physical health, but the molecular mechanisms of these benefits remain poorly understood.

Analysis of the Longitudinal Behavior of Serum Levels of Soluble Flt1 and Placental Growth Factor in Pregnant Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study analyzed longitudinal trajectories of soluble Flt1 (sFlt1) levels, placenta growth factor (PlGF) levels, and sFlt1:PlGF ratios in a cohort of pregnant patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Blood samples were collected (14–18, 24–26, 30–32, 34–36, and 38–40 weeks), stored at −80°C, and evaluated for serum levels ...

Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Injectable Chitosan–Guar Gum Hydrogel Reinforced with Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibers for Tissue Engineering Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents the development and characterization of injectable nanocomposite hydrogels based on N‐succinyl chitosan, oxidized guar gum, and bacterial cellulose nanofibers. Emphasizing enhanced mechanical properties and biocompatibility, the hydrogels exhibit fast gelation, improved structural integrity, and reduced swelling. Their potential for
