Deformed Harry Dym and Hunter-Zheng Equations
We study the deformed Harry Dym and Hunter-Zheng equations with two arbitrary
deformation parameters. These reduce to various other known models in
appropriate limits. We show that both these systems are bi-Hamiltonian with the
same Hamiltonian structures. They are integrable and belong to the same
hierarchy corresponding to positive and negative flows. We present the Lax pair
description for both the systems and construct the conserved charges of
negative order from the Lax operator. For the deformed Harry Dym equation, we
construct the non-standard Lax representation for two special classes of values
of the deformation parameters. In general, we argue that a non-standard
description will involve a pseudo-differential operator of infinite order.Comment: Latex file, 15 page
A Nonliearly Dispersive Fifth Order Integrable Equation and its Hierarchy
In this paper, we study the properties of a nonlinearly dispersive integrable
system of fifth order and its associated hierarchy. We describe a Lax
representation for such a system which leads to two infinite series of
conserved charges and two hierarchies of equations that share the same
conserved charges. We construct two compatible Hamiltonian structures as well
as their Casimir functionals. One of the structures has a single Casimir
functional while the other has two. This allows us to extend the flows into
negative order and clarifies the meaning of two different hierarchies of
positive flows. We study the behavior of these systems under a hodograph
transformation and show that they are related to the Kaup-Kupershmidt and the
Sawada-Kotera equations under appropriate Miura transformations. We also
discuss briefly some properties associated with the generalization of second,
third and fourth order Lax operators.Comment: 11 pages, LaTex, version to be published in Journal of Nonlinear

On bosonic limits of two recent supersymmetric extensions of the Harry Dym hierarchy
Two generalized Harry Dym equations, recently found by Brunelli, Das and
Popowicz in the bosonic limit of new supersymmetric extensions of the Harry Dym
hierarchy [J. Math. Phys. 44:4756--4767 (2003)], are transformed into
previously known integrable systems: one--into a pair of decoupled KdV
equations, the other one--into a pair of coupled mKdV equations from a
bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of Kupershmidt.Comment: 7 page
On the Nonlocal Equations and Nonlocal Charges Associated with the Harry Dym Hierarchy
A large class of nonlocal equations and nonlocal charges for the Harry Dym
hierarchy is exhibited. They are obtained from nonlocal Casimirs associated
with its bi-Hamiltonian structure. The Lax representation for some of these
equations is also given.Comment: to appear in Journal of Mathematical Physics, 17 pages, Late
Anterior mitral valve aneurysm is an uncommon complication of aortic valve infective endocarditis. A case report
Objective: Rare disease Background: Mitral valve aneurysms (MVAs) are uncommon conditions frequently associated with aortic valve endocarditis. They may be complicated by perforation and severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Optimal treatment of MVA, and in particular the best timing for surgery, are uncertain. Case Report: A 62-year-old man with a recent history of dental surgery presented to the Emergency Department complaining relapsing fever. A first echocardiogram demonstrated infective endocarditis of the aortic valve. The patient was primarily managed with specific antibiotic therapy. Despite this, a few days later he suffered from splen-ic embolization and an MVA with MR was detected. Surgical replacement of the mitral and aortic valves was therefore performed. Conclusions: MVAs are infrequent but potentially severe complications of AV endocarditis. In the absence of definite treatment indication, the correct time for surgery should depend on concomitant clinical and infective features
Non polynomial conservation law densities generated by the symmetry operators in some hydrodynamical models
New extra series of conserved densities for the polytropic gas model and
nonlinear elasticity equation are obtained without any references to the
recursion operator or to the Lax operator formalism. Our method based on the
utilization of the symmetry operators and allows us to obtain the densities of
arbitrary homogenuity dimensions. The nonpolynomial densities with logarithmics
behaviour are presented as an example. The special attention is paid for the
singular case for which we found new non homogenious solutions
expressed in terms of the elementary functions.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms from the transcriptome of an organism with a whole genome duplication
BACKGROUND: The common ancestor of salmonid fishes, including rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), experienced a whole genome duplication between 20 and 100 million years ago, and many of the duplicated genes have been retained in the trout genome. This retention complicates efforts to detect allelic variation in salmonid fishes. Specifically, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection is problematic because nucleotide variation can be found between the duplicate copies (paralogs) of a gene as well as between alleles. RESULTS: We present a method of differentiating between allelic and paralogous (gene copy) sequence variants, allowing identification of SNPs in organisms with multiple copies of a gene or set of genes. The basic strategy is to: 1) identify windows of unique cDNA sequences with homology to each other, 2) compare these unique cDNAs if they are not shared between individuals (i.e. the cDNA is homozygous in one individual and homozygous for another cDNA in the other individual), and 3) give a “SNP score” value between zero and one to each candidate sequence variant based on six criteria. Using this strategy we were able to detect about seven thousand potential SNPs from the transcriptomes of several clonal lines of rainbow trout. When directly compared to a pre-validated set of SNPs in polyploid wheat, we were also able to estimate the false-positive rate of this strategy as 0 to 28% depending on parameters used. CONCLUSIONS: This strategy has an advantage over traditional techniques of SNP identification because another dimension of sequencing information is utilized. This method is especially well suited for identifying SNPs in polyploids, both outbred and inbred, but would tend to be conservative for diploid organisms
