By collecting 17 short gamma-ray bursts with necessary data, we find a correlation of Lp ∝ E .7 p ,i , which is very consistent with that derived from a greatly expanded sample of 148 Swift long gamma-ray bursts. It is argued that the radiation mechanism of both long and short gamma-ray bursts should be similar, i.e., of quasi-thermal origin caused by the photosphere and the dissipation occurri...

Previous reports (Schwab, 1956a) have described the hemolytic activity of an extract of sonically disrupted group A streptococei. This is referred to as sonic extract and the hemolytic activity as intracellular hemolysin. A study comparing the hemolysin obtained by this method, with the previously described streptolysins 0 and S', indicates that the intracellular hemolysin may be a distinct str...

Let G be a compactly generated locally compact group and let U be a compact generating set. We prove that if G has polynomial growth, then (U)n∈N is a Følner sequence and we give a polynomial estimate of the rate of decay of μ(Un+1 r Un) μ(Un) . Our proof uses only two ingredients: the doubling property and a weak geodesic property that we call Property (M). As a matter of fact, the result rema...

The replacement theorem for classical and normal modal logics is a fundamental tool. It says that if A and B have been proved equivalent, occurrences of A in a formula may be replaced with occurrences of B to produce a formula equivalent to the original one. This theorem does not hold for LP, Logic of Proofs. A replacement for replacement is not simple to formulate. In this note I have provided...

The object of the present paper is to study locally φsymmetric LP-Sasakian manifolds admitting semi-symmetric metric connection and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a locally φsymmetric LP-Sasakian manifold with respect to semi-symmetric metric connection to be locally φ-symmetric LP-Sasakian manifold with respect to Levi-Civita connection.

The ratio between the volume of the p-centroid body of a convex body K in Rn and the volume of K attains its minimum value if and only if K is an origin symmetric ellipsoid. This result, the Lp-Busemann-Petty centroid inequality, was recently proved by Lutwak, Yang and Zhang. In this paper we show that all the intrinsic volumes of the p-centroid body of K are convex functions of a time-like par...

As a profession, speech-language pathology appears to have become interested in reflection and reflective practice as important components of clinical practice and education. however, little systematic consideration of the potential value of reflective practice within the field has been undertaken. the purpose of this paper seeks to consider how reflective practice is relevant to contemporary s...

THE FOLLOWING HUMAN LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS WERE PREPARED: beta-lipoproteins of densities greater than 1.040 (A, B,C) a beta-lipoprotein of -S(1.063) = 5 (D), a lipoprotein of -S(1.063) = 19 (E), and a lipoprotein of -S(1.063) = 70 (F). Data are presented which show the immunochemical homogeneity of the D lipoprotein rabbit-anti-D lipoprotein system. Cross-reactions between antibody to A and D...
