The effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on environmental and human microorganisms and their potential for bioremediation

Arhiv za Higijenu Rada i Toksikologiju, 2023
Utilised in a variety of consumer products, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are major environmental contaminants that accumulate in living organisms due to their highly hydrophobic, lipophobic, heat-resistant, and non-biodegradable properties.

Using Sat solvers for synchronization issues in partial deterministic automata [PDF]

, 2019
We approach the task of computing a carefully synchronizing word of minimum length for a given partial deterministic automaton, encoding the problem as an instance of SAT and invoking a SAT solver.

Serum vaccine antibody concentrations in adults exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: A birth cohort in the Faroe Islands

Journal of Immunotoxicology, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are highly persistent in the environment and may cause depressed immune function. Previous studies have linked PFAS exposure to lower vaccine responses in children, but research in adults is limited. Therefore,

DFAs and PFAs with Long Shortest Synchronizing Word Length

, 2017
It was conjectured by \v{C}ern\'y in 1964, that a synchronizing DFA on $n$ states always has a shortest synchronizing word of length at most $(n-1)^2$, and he gave a sequence of DFAs for which this bound is reached.
