A Computational Fractional Signal Derivative Method by Matías Salinas, Rodrigo Salas, Diego Mellado, Antonio Glaría, Carolina Saavedra

“…In the experiments, we have compared the proposed Grünwald–Letnikov computational fractional derivative method with the Riemman–Louville fractional derivative approach for two well-known functions. The simulations exhibit similar results for both methods; however, the Grünwald–Letnikov method outperforms the other approach in execution time. …”

DC algorithm for estimation of sparse Gaussian graphical models. by Tomokaze Shiratori, Yuichi Takano

“…Specifically, we convert the cardinality constraint into an equivalent constraint based on the largest-K norm, and reformulate the resultant constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained penalty form with a DC (difference of convex functions) representation. To solve this problem efficiently, we design a DC algorithm in which the graphical lasso algorithm is repeatedly executed to solve convex optimization subproblems. …”

Proper 5'-3' cotranslational mRNA decay in yeast requires import of Xrn1 to the nucleus. by Antonio Jordán-Pla, Yujie Zhang, José García-Martínez, Shiladitya Chattopadhyay, Anabel Forte, Mordechai Choder, Vicent Pelechano, José E Pérez-Ortín

“…Here by using an Xrn1 mutant that cannot enter the nucleus, but is otherwise functional in ribonuclease activity, we show that nuclear import is necessary for proper global cotranslational decay of mRNAs along coding regions and also affects degradation in the of 5' region of a large group of mRNAs, which comprise about 20% of the transcriptome. …”
