General Chemical Reaction Network Theory for Olfactory Sensing Based on G-Protein-Coupled Receptors : Elucidation of Odorant Mixture Effects and Agonist-Synergist Threshold [PDF]
This work presents a general chemical reaction network theory for olfactory sensing processes that employ G-protein-coupled receptors as olfactory receptors (ORs). The theory is applicable to general mixtures of odorants and an arbitrary number of ORs.

Creating Community: Rhetorical Vision and Symbolic Convergence in the Book of Hebrews [PDF]
Since the introduction of social identity theory to the field of biblical studies, the Epistle to the Hebrews has become something of a proving ground for depicting the intergroup relations that are key to understanding relationally-oriented identity ...

Olfactory modulation of flight in Drosophila is sensitive, selective and rapid [PDF]
Freely flying Drosophila melanogaster respond to odors by increasing their flight speed and turning upwind. Both these flight behaviors can be recapitulated in a tethered fly, which permits the odor stimulus to be precisely controlled.

Outfoxing the fox: Effect of prey odor on fox behavior in a pastoral landscape
Invasive mammalian predators have had a devastating effect on native species globally. The European red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is one such species where it has been introduced in Australia.

Odor composition analysis and odor indicator selection during sewage sludge composting
On the basis of total temperature increase, normal dehydration, and maturity, the odor compositions of surface and internal piles in a well-run sewage sludge compost plant were analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry with a liquid nitrogen ...

Effective Monte Carlo simulation on System-V massively parallel associative string processing architecture [PDF]
We show that the latest version of massively parallel processing associative string processing architecture (System-V) is applicable for fast Monte Carlo simulation if an effective on-processor random number generator is implemented. Our lagged Fibonacci

Plancherel formula for the attenuated Radon transform [PDF]
Motivated by stereology, based on Novikov's inversion formula, we prove a Plancherel-type formula for the attenuated Radon transform.
