We first study situations where the stable AF algebras defined by two square primitive non-singular incidence matrices with non-negative integer matrix elements are isomorphic, even though no powers of the associated automorphisms of thecorresponding dimension groups are isomorphic. More generally we consider necessary and sufficient conditions for two such matrices to determine isomorphic dimension groups.We give several examples.

The symmetric group $ S(n) $ is partially ordered by Bruhat order. This order is extended by L. Renner to the set of partial injective functions of $ \{ 1, 2, \ldots, n \} $ (see, Linear Algebraic Monoids, Springer, 2005). This poset is investigated by M. Fortin in his paper The MacNeille Completion of the Poset of Partial Injective Functions [Electron. J. Combin., 15, R62, 2008]. In this paper we show that Renner order can be also defined for sets of all functions, partial functions, injective and partial injective functions from $ \{ 1, 2, \ldots, n \} $ to $ \{ 1, 2, \ldots, m \} $. Next, we generalize Fortin's results on these posets, and also, using simple facts and methods of linear algebra, we give simpler and shorter proofs of some fundamental Fortin's results. We first show that these four posets can be order embedded in the set of $ n \times m $-matrices with non-negative integer entries and with the natural componentwise order. Second, matrix representations of the Dedekind-MacNeille completions of our posets are given. Third, we find join- and meet-irreducible elements for every finite sublattice of the lattice of all $ n \times m $-matrices with integer entries. In particular, we obtain join- and meet-irreducible elements of these Dedekind-MacNeille completions. Hence and by general results concerning Dedekind-MacNeille completions, join- and meet-irreducible elements of our four posets of functions are also found. Moreover, subposets induced by these irreducible elements are precisely described.

The affine Kac-Moody algebras give rise to rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) called the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models. An important component of an RCFT is its fusion ring, whose structure constants are given by the associated S-matrix. We apply a fixed point property possessed by the WZW models ("fixed point factorization") to calculate nonnegative integer matrix representations of the fusion ring, allowing for the calculation of D-brane charges in string theory.

Generic-case approach to algorithmic problems was suggested by A. Miasnikov, I. Kapovich, P. Schupp and V. Shpilrain in 2003. This approach studies behavior of an algo-rithm on typical (almost all) inputs and ignores the rest of inputs. In this paper, we prove that the subset sum problems for the monoid of integer positive unimodular matrices of the second order, the special linear group of the second order, and the modular group are generically solvable in polynomial time.

We propose necessary and sufficient conditions for an integer matrix to be decomposable in terms of its Hermite normal form. Specifically, to each integer matrix, we associate a symmetric integer matrix whose reducibility can be efficiently determined by elementary linear algebra techniques, and which completely determines the decomposability of the first one.

The research of new therapeutic agents to fight bacterial infections has recently focused on the investigation of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), the most common weapon that all organisms produce to prevent invasion by external pathogens. Among AMPs, the amphibian Temporins constitute a well-known family with high antibacterial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In particular, Temporin-L was shown to affect bacterial cell division by inhibiting FtsZ, a tubulin-like protein involved in the crucial step of Z-ring formation at the beginning of the division process. As FtsZ represents a leading target for new antibacterial compounds, in this paper we investigated in detail the interaction of Temporin L with Escherichia coli FtsZ and designed two TL analogues in an attempt to increase peptide-protein interactions and to better understand the structural determinants leading to FtsZ inhibition. The results demonstrated that the TL analogues improved their binding to FtsZ, originating stable protein-peptide complexes. Functional studies showed that both peptides were endowed with a high capability of inhibiting both the enzymatic and polymerization activities of the protein. Moreover, the TL analogues were able to inhibit bacterial growth at low micromolar concentrations. These observations may open up the way to the development of novel peptide or peptidomimetic drugs tailored to bind FtsZ, hampering a crucial process of bacterial life that might be proposed for future pharmaceutical applications.
