In this paper, we study the approximate biprojectivity and biflatness of a Banach algebra A find some relations between theses concepts with ?-amenability ? -contractibility, where is character on A. Among other things, show that ?-Lau product L1(G) ?? A(G) approximately biprojective if only G finite, are group Fourier locally compact G, respectively. We also characterize biflat semigroup algeb...

We analyse distribution records for 51 British butterfly species to investigate altitudinal and latitudinal responses to twentieth century climate warming. Species with northern and/or montane distributions have disappeared from low elevation sites and colonized sites at higher elevations during the twentieth century, consistent with a climate explanation. We found no evidence for a systematic ...

The role of the kinetochore in chromosome movement was studied by 532-nm wavelength laser microirradiation of mitotic PtK2 cells. When the kinetochore of a single chromatid is irradiated at mitotic prometaphase or metaphase, the whole chromosome moves towards the pole to which the unirradiated kinetochore is oriented, while the remaining chromosomes congregate on the metaphase plate. The chroma...

We examine contributions to a public good when some donors do not know the true value of the good. If donors in such an environment determine the sequence of moves, two contribution orders may arise as equilibria. Either the uninformed and informed donors contribute simultaneously or the informed contribute prior to the uninformed. Sequential moves result in a larger provision of the public goo...

Introduction: Arabia Terra, with an area of ~1x10 km [1] centered at (25E, 5N), is an anomalous region along the Martian dichotomy. Traditionally considered part of the ancient southern highlands, Arabia Terra is a transitional province between the southern highlands and northern lowlands in both topography [2] (Fig. 1) and crustal thickness [3]. While the geological processes leading to the fo...
