Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

The Distribution and Quantiles of the Sample Mean from a Stationary Process
Edgeworth–Cornish–Fisher expansions are hugely important, as they give the distribution, density and quantiles of any standard estimate. Here we show that the sample mean of a univariate or multivariate stationary process is a standard estimate, so that ...

Maximum Likelihood Drift Estimation for Gaussian Process with Stationary Increments
The paper deals with the regression model X_t = \theta t + B_t , t\in[0, T ], where B=\{B_t, t\geq 0\} is a centered Gaussian process with stationary increments.

Reconsidering Dogmas about the Growth of Bacterial Populations
The growth of bacterial populations has been described as a dynamic process of continuous reproduction and cell death. However, this is far from the reality.

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Countable representation for infinite-dimensional diffusions derived from the two parameter Poisson Dirichlet process [PDF]
This paper provides a countable representation for a class of infinite-dimensional diffusions which extends the infinitely-many-neutral-alleles model and is related to the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet process. By means of Gibbs sampling procedures, we

Use of infinity concept in chemistry and chemical technology
The paper considers a number of mathematical models of chemical and chemical-engineering objects that use the concept of infinity. We allocated almost unrealizable processes, in the simulation of which infinity shows itself as a phantom.

Recent insights into the molecular mechanism of ubiquinol oxidation by cytochrome bc1
The review reflects on the mechanism of the catalytic reaction in cytochrome bc1: the electron bifurcation that involves the separation of two electrons derived from the quinol oxidation to opposite sides of the enzyme across the membrane. This review summarizes the long‐standing effort to understand the mechanism of quinol oxidation catalyzed by ...

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

Exact Integration of Stationary Gaussian Process Kernels
In applications such as object tracking and financial time series, it is often desirable to model stochastic processes that are the integral of another stationary process, leading potentially to non-stationarity and infinite variance.
