This paper presents a new approach to computing 1=r singularities on curved panels. By using carefully chosen mapping techniques, a curved panel with curved edges is mapped to a at panel with straight edges. Analytical formulas for at panel integrals are then used to give approximate curved panel integration solution. For those curved panels with reasonably large curvatures and smooth edges, th...

Changes in levels of the stress-sensitive hormone cortisol from morning to evening are referred to as diurnal cortisol slopes. Flatter diurnal cortisol slopes have been proposed as a mediator between chronic psychosocial stress and poor mental and physical health outcomes in past theory and research. Surprisingly, neither a systematic nor a meta-analytic review of associations between diurnal c...

A slope p q is called a characterizing slope for a given knot K0 in S if whenever the p q –surgery on a knot K in S is homeomorphic to the p q –surgery on K0 via an orientation preserving homeomorphism, then K D K0 . In this paper we try to find characterizing slopes for torus knots Tr;s . We show that any slope p q which is larger than the number 30.r 1/.s 1/=67 is a characterizing slope for T...

The Keystone Symposium on Stem Cell Differentiation and Dedifferentiation attracted nearly 500 participants affiliated with academia, the biotechnology industry, scientific publishing and clinical practice. This broad group examined current advances in stem-cell biology, with a particular focus on induced pluripotent stem cells, and discussed both their potential and limitations in therapeutic ...
