Receptors for insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) have been studied in confluent cultured intact human fibroblast monolayers. 125-I-EGF binds specifically to fibroblast monolayers. Half-maximal binding is observed at 4 times 10 minus 10 M EGF; at saturation of binding approximately 4 times 10-4 molecules of EGF are bound per cell. 125-I-Insulin is also bound specifically by intact monolay...

While global warming is mostly conceptualized in terms of increases mean temperature, changes the most extreme conditions encountered often have disproportionate impacts. Here, a measure amplification defined as change highest yearly temperature (denoted TXx), representing heat, minus that 80th percentile daily high (Tmax80), which represents typical summer conditions. Based on ERA5 reanalysis,...

Let L/F be a dihedral extension of degree 2p, where p is an odd prime. Let K/F and k/F be subextensions of L/F with degrees p and 2, respectively. Then we will study relations between the p-ranks of the class groups Cl(K) and Cl(k). 1. A Short History of Reflection Theorems Results comparing the p-rank of class groups of different number fields (often based on the interplay between Kummer theor...

We study a pair of NP-hard problems aimed at finding small sets of faces in planar graphs. In the disk dimension problem, we are given a planar graph G, and seek the least number k for which G embeds in the plane minus k open disks, with every vertex on the boundary of some disk. Useful properties of graphs with bounded disk dimension are derived. We show how to obtain an outerplanar subgraph o...

The Australian Government intends to mandate filtering at the Internet Service Provider (ISP) level to provide a “clean feed” to all subscribers. It claims the current arrangement that includes optional filtering at the Personal Computer (PC) level has failed to protect children from unsuitable Internet content. This paper addresses three key questions that are relevant to IT professionals ever...

We consider two quantities that measure complexity of binary strings: KM(x) is defined as the minus logarithm of continuous a priori probability on the binary tree, and K(x) denotes prefix complexity of a binary string x. In this paper we answer a question posed by Joseph Miller and prove that there exists an infinite binary sequence ω such that the sum of 2KM(x)−K(x) over all prefixes x of ω i...

Mantoulidis and Schoen developed a novel technique to handcraft asymptotically flat extensions of Riemannian manifolds (</mml:...
