Quantum Algorithm for Dynamic Programming Approach for DAGs. Applications for Zhegalkin Polynomial Evaluation and Some Problems on DAGs
2018
In this paper, we present a quantum algorithm for dynamic programming approach for problems on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). The running time of the algorithm is $O(\sqrt{\hat{n}m}\log \hat{n})$, and the running time of the best known deterministic algorithm is $O(n+m)$, where $n$ is the number of vertices, $\hat{n}$ is the number of vertices with at least one outgoing edge; $m$ is the number of edges. We show that we can solve problems that use OR, AND, NAND, MAX and MIN functions as the main transition steps. The approach is useful for a couple of problems. One of them is computing a Boolean formula that is represented by Zhegalkin polynomial, a Boolean circuit with shared input and non…
Constructing Antidictionaries in Output-Sensitive Space
2021
A word $x$ that is absent from a word $y$ is called minimal if all its proper factors occur in $y$. Given a collection of $k$ words $y_1,y_2,\ldots,y_k$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$, we are asked to compute the set $\mathrm{M}^{\ell}_{y_{1}\#\ldots\#y_{k}}$ of minimal absent words of length at most $\ell$ of word $y=y_1\#y_2\#\ldots\#y_k$, $\#\notin\Sigma$. In data compression, this corresponds to computing the antidictionary of $k$ documents. In bioinformatics, it corresponds to computing words that are absent from a genome of $k$ chromosomes. This computation generally requires $\Omega(n)$ space for $n=|y|$ using any of the plenty available $\mathcal{O}(n)$-time algorithms. This is because a…
The Influence of Strategic and Organizational Factors as Concern the Relationship between Environmental Management Control and Organizational Learnin…
2020
This article examines the relationship between Environmental Management Control (EMC) and Organizational Learning (OL) by extending the theoretical model of Simons (1995) in a contingent perspective. Through strategic and organizational factors, this enriched model expounds the links between the Simons’s (1995) levers of control (diagnostic and interactive controls) and the Argyris and Schön’s (1978) levels of learning (simple loop learning and double loop learning). Based on the “revelatory case” of a missionary organization, eco-SME, this study highlights the influence of three contingency factors : strong core values, proactive strategy and activity life cycle in the four configurations …
The Co‐mutational Spectrum Determines the Therapeutic Response in Murine FGFR2 Fusion‐Driven Cholangiocarcinoma
2021
Background and aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver cancer and a highly lethal malignancy. Chemotherapeutic options are limited, but a considerable subset of patients harbors genetic lesions for which targeted agents exist. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusions belong to the most frequent and therapeutically relevant alterations in ICC, and the first FGFR inhibitor was recently approved for the treatment of patients with progressed, fusion-positive ICC. Response rates of up to 35% indicate that FGFR-targeted therapies are beneficial in many but not all patients. Thus far, no established biomarkers exist that predict resistance or r…
Search forBs0→μ+μ−andB0→μ+μ−Decays with CDF II
2011
A search has been performed for B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} and B{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} decays using 7 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The observed number of B{sup 0} candidates is consistent with background-only expectations and yields an upper limit on the branching fraction of {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}) < 6.0 x 10{sup -9} at 95% confidence level. We observe an excess of B{sub s}{sup 0} candidates. The probability that the background processes alone could produce such an excess or larger is 0.27%. The probability that the combination of background and the expe…
Znaczenie polityczno-militarne Würzburga i innych państw Rzeszy Niemieckiej w początkach wojny o sukcesję hiszpańską w oczach dyplomacji francuskiej
2020
Pod koniec XVII w. Europa Zachodnia stała u progu wojny o sukcesję hiszpańską. W związku z bezpotomną śmiercią Karola II Habsburga zarówno Ludwik XIV, jak i Leopold VI byli zainteresowani obsadzeniem tronu w Madrycie. Mimo wcześniejszych porozumień i uzgodnień dotyczących ewentualnego podziału Hiszpanii Francja i cesarz szykowali się do wojny. Najpewniej – ponieważ analizowany dokument nie ma daty – w 1700 r. dyplomaci francuscy podjęli się próby eksplikacji możliwości ewentualnego poparcia politycznego i militarnego Ludwika XIV przez niektórych książąt i biskupów niemieckich. Na tej podstawie opracowano niezwykle interesujący memoriał, który jest podstawą rozważań w tym artykule.
The Cell Cycle-Specific Growth-Inhibitory Factor Produced by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans Is a Cytolethal Distending Toxin
1998
ABSTRACT Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans has been shown to produce a soluble cytotoxic factor(s) distinct from leukotoxin. We have identified in A. actinomycetemcomitans Y4 a cluster of genes encoding a cytolethal distending toxin (CDT). This new member of the CDT family is similar to the CDT produced by Haemophilus ducreyi . The CDT from A. actinomycetemcomitans was produced in Escherichia coli and was able to induce cell distension, growth arrest in G 2 /M phase, nucleus swelling, and chromatin fragmentation in HeLa cells. The three proteins, CDTA, -B and -C, encoded by the cdt locus were all required for toxin activity. Antiserum raised against recombinant CDTC completely inhibited …
Real quadrics in C n , complex manifolds and convex polytopes
2006
In this paper, we investigate the topology of a class of non-Kähler compact complex manifolds generalizing that of Hopf and Calabi-Eckmann manifolds. These manifolds are diffeomorphic to special systems of real quadrics Cn which are invariant with respect to the natural action of the real torus (S1)n onto Cn. The quotient space is a simple convex polytope. The problem reduces thus to the study of the topology of certain real algebraic sets and can be handled using combinatorial results on convex polytopes. We prove that the homology groups of these compact complex manifolds can have arbitrary amount of torsion so that their topology is extremely rich. We also resolve an associated wall-cros…

Pielgrzymka Ślązaków do Rzymu i Viterbo w 1967 r. Na drodze polsko-niemieckiego pojednania
2018
W dniach od 11 do 21 maja 1967 r. grupa 641 niemieckich Ślązaków pielgrzymowała do Rzymu i Viterbo. Ich celem było wspólne dziękczynienie za dar kanonizacji św. Jadwigi, jakiej w 1267 r. dokonał w Viterbo papież Klemens IV. W taki sposób chciano publicznie zamanifestować obecność Ślązaków w przestrzeni publicznej. W Rzymie i Viterbo modlono się wspólnie za śląską ojczyznę i śląskie rodziny, podzielone poglądami politycznymi, narodowymi i wreszcie żelazną kurtyną. Główne uroczystości dziękczynne miały miejsce w katedrze w Viterbo. Dodatkowo świętowano 100. rocznicę powstania śląskiej grupy maltańskiej, którym patronuje św. Jadwiga, skupiającej w swoich szeregach przedstawicieli najważniejszy…
