Long way to Ricci flatness

Ricci Flatness of Asymptotically Locally Euclidean Metrics

In this article we study the metric property and the function theory of asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) Kähler manifolds. In particular, we prove the Ricci flatness under the assumption that the Ricci curvature of such manifolds is either nonnegative or nonpositive. The result provides a generalization of previous gap type theorems established by Greene and Wu, Mok, Siu and Yau, etc. It ...

The Long Way to Enlightenment

Electronic cardiac pacemakers are the primary therapy for sinus node dysfunction and high-degree AV block. Although uncommon, infections, lead failures, and vascular complications do result in mortality and morbidity for some patients.1 Battery life limitations require device changes, which contribute to infection risk. In addition, providing adequate rate adaptation to physical activity as wel...

A long way to stemness

Hematopoiesis starts with generation of “primitive” erythroblasts and macrophage progenitors in the visceral yolk sac. The earliest strictly defined adulttype or definitive HSCs can be detected in the AGM region at around E11. Accumulation of stem cells activity in the explant cultures of the AGM region strengthened a growing perception that HSCs originate intraembryonically and mammalian hemat...
