Expression of recombinant geobacillus SP a-amylase in pichia pastoris GS 115 by Gandhi, Sivasangkary

“…The enzyme was found to be thermostable and thermoactive at 65°C with a half-life (t1/2) at 60°C for 88 min. Such thermostable and thermoactive characteristic of the α-amylase SR74 would be beneficial for industrial applications, especially in liquefying saccrification.…”

Limitations of the Impagliazzo–Nisan–Wigderson Pseudorandom Generator Against Permutation Branching Programs by Hoza, William M., Pyne, Edward, Vadhan, Salil

“…In this paper, we prove that any “spectral analysis” of the INW generator requires seed length Ω(log𝑛⋅loglog(min{𝑛,𝑑})+log𝑛⋅log(𝑤/ε)+log𝑑) to fool ordered permutation branching programs of length n, width w, and alphabet size d to within error ε . …”
