FOUR SCO ENLARGEMENT PROBLEMS

NOVA Sco 2001 (V1178 SCO)

We present intermediate resolution spectroscopy and near infrared photometry of NOVA Sco 2001 (V1178 Sco), which was first detected May 13th 2001 and reported June 21th 2001, and obtained by us the same day. We also retrieved very accurate astrometry of the target in this very crowded field. This is needed to be able to do follow up observations of the postnova during the next years. The spectr...

Four Problems in Radar

.1 Four Problems

We may then ask: Can we place bounds on g(m)? Can we characterize those subsets S which achieve the value of g(m)? Whereas in the case of vertex boundary, the optimal subsets S were found to be (near) Hamming balls, we shall see that for the edge isoperimetric problem these optimal sets are (near) subcubes. Because the problem of finding a set S with minimum edge boundary is dual to the problem...

SCO-spondin oligopeptide inhibits angiogenesis in glioblastoma

Angiogenesis plays a critical role in glioblastoma growth and progression. We therefore aimed at evaluating the anti-angiogenic properties of an oligopeptide originating from SCO-spondin (NX) on a model of human glioblastoma. To this end, we studied the impact of NX treatment on human brain endothelial cells (HBMECs) alone or co-cultured with glioblastoma cells (U87-MG) on apoptosis, proliferat...

2 Four Jewel – Problems About Borderlines

This is a list of research topics prepared on the occasion of the Fourth Brainstorming Week on Membrane Computing, Sevilla, January 30 – February 3, 2006 (hence the title). The selection is subjective, the presentation is informal (in most cases, the precise formulation of the question to investigate is already part of the research task), the bibliographical information is partial (giving only ...
