β¦ Synopsis
The sequence of numbers {ai} defined by the recurrence a, = (anm3an-, + af_2)la,-, for n > 3 with initial values a,, a,, a*, a3 = 1 is shown to be integral. Other initial values are also considered.

We prove that for any non-zero real number the sequence of fractional parts { (3/2) n }, n = 1, 2, 3, . . . , contains at least one limit point in the interval [0.238117 . . . , 0.761882 . . .] of length 0.523764 . . . . More generally, it is shown that every sequence of distances to the nearest int
We give a method to decide whether or not the image of a given N-rational sequence can be recognized in some base. In the positive case the bases can be computed effectively.
A protease from the digestive tract of the crayfish Astacus jluviatilis (EC 3.4.99.6), which does not seem to belong to any of the known families of proteases, proves to be a valuable aid in sequencing proteins. In denatured polypeptide chains, it has the unusual property of hydrolyzing peptide bond
Propofol is commonly administered, as a single bolus dose, for the induction of general anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to mathematically assess the ability to model propofol induction-dose serum levels with a recursive finite difference equation (RFDE). Using data obtained from a prior pu
