The effect of transglutaminase on the properties of salmon skin-gelatin films
PublicationCelem pracy była enzymatyczna modyfikacja folii otrzymanych z żelatyny rybnej. Źródłem żelatyny były surowe i wędzone skóry łososia. Stwierdzono, że czas żelowania roztworu żelatyny ulegał skróceniu w obecności transglutaminazy w badanym zakresie 0,1-0,2 mg/ml. Enzymatyczne modyfikacje prowadziły do obniżenia rozpuszczalności folii, jednakże w różnym stopniu zależnym od źródła białka. Obecność DTT lub cysteiny w mieszaninie reakcyjnej...

On the Limiting distribution of Lempel Ziv'78 Redundancy for Memoryles Sources
PublicationWe show that the Lempel Ziv'78 redundancy rate tends to a Gaussian distribution for memoryless sources. We accomplish it by extending findings from our 1995 paper [3]. We present a new simplified proof of the Central Limit Theorem for the number of phrases in the LZ'78 algorithm. As in our 1995 paper, here we first analyze the asymptotic behavior of the total path length in a digital search tree (a DST) built from independent sequences....
