Greeting of Welcome Mr. W. Kempf

Reply to Kempf et al

The Journal of Infectious Diseases® 2017;215:486–7 Nitazoxanide was commenced at a dose of 500 mg twice daily. It was well tolerated with no adverse effects. Initially, an improvement in frequency and severity of diarrhea was noted. Results of PCR analysis of stool specimens became negative for norovirus; however, the MS2 bacteriophage used as an internal control added to the patient sample was...

Toric Kempf–Ness sets

In the theory of algebraic group actions on affine varieties, the concept of a Kempf– Ness set is used to replace the categorical quotient by the quotient with respect to a maximal compact subgroup. Using recent achievements of “toric topology,” we show that an appropriate notion of a Kempf–Ness set exists for a class of algebraic torus actions on quasiaffine varieties (coordinate subspace arra...

Greeting from the Chairman

The Late Mr. John W. Davies

WELCOME LETTER Welcome

Seismic analysis model is required to evaluate themechanical structural integrity of reactor internals when earthquakeis occurred. Finite element method is used to prepare a seismicanalysis model for reactor internals. The reactor internals arecomplex mechanical structures, so much analysis time is requiredto obtain the seismic responses with the detail finite element model....
