Abstract:
A circular code has been identified in the protein (coding) genes of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes by using a statistical method called trinucleotide frequency (TF) method [Arquès & Michel (1996). J. theor. Biol. 182, 45-58]. Recently, a probabilistic model based on the nucleotide frequencies with a hypothesis of absence of correlation between successive bases on a DNA strand, has been proposed by Koch & Lehmann [(1997). J. theor. Biol. 189, 171-174] for constructing some particular circular codes. Their interesting method which we call here nucleotide frequency (NF) method, reveals several limits for constructing the circular code observed with protein genes.

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each path...
