Selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) and other fluorescence microscopy techniques in which a focused sheet of light serves to illuminate the sample have become increasingly popular in developmental studies. Fluorescence light-sheet microscopy bridges the gap in image quality between fluorescence stereomicroscopy and high-resolution imaging of fixed tissue sections. In addition, high d...

The notion of opportunities is fast becoming a central theme in the field of entrepreneurship research. As part of this growing interest, the ontological status of opportunities has been scrutinized with researchers tending to view them as either objectively existing or socially created. In the present treatment, this ontological debate is partly avoided in favor of a phenomenological examinati...

The most promising solution to missing teeth in today’s world seems to be Implants. Conventional fixed partial dentures and resin bonded bridges are the most commonly used alternatives. However, it is not always possible to use these solutions, especially in case of missing anteriors with excessive space. A simple yet often overlooked solution to replacing missing teeth and maintaining the dias...

In the title polymeric compound, {[Cd(C(15)H(11)N(2)O(2))(2)]·0.1H(2)O}(n), the Cd(II) atom is coordinated by four carboxyl-ate O atoms and two benzimidazole N atoms from four benzimidazolylmethyl-benzoate anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Each anion bridges two Cd atoms through the terminal carboxyl-ate group and an imidazole N atom, forming polymeric complex chains running along the...

We introduce an invariant of the hyperbolic 3-manifolds which appears in the K-theory of certain C*-algebras. Namely, such an invariant is essentially the integral order in an algebraic number field K with a fixed equivalence class of ideals in the ring of integers of K. The C*-algebras in question are the crossed product C*-algebras attached to the monodromy transformation of the 3-manifolds w...

We consider Volterra Gaussian processes on [0, T ], where T > 0 is a fixed time horizon. These are processes of type Xt = R t 0 zX(t, s)dWs, t ∈ [0, T ], where zX is a square-integrable kernel, and W is a standard Brownian motion. An example is fractional Brownian motion. By using classical techniques from operator theory, we derive measure-preserving transformations of X, and their inherently ...

AB=RA~T.-Rafinesque's bii-eared bats (Corynmhinus ra-t] use bridges as day roosts in parts of their range, but information on bridge use across their range is lacking. From May to Aug. 2002 we surveyed 1129 bridges (12.5%) within all 46 counties of South Carolina to determine use and selection of bridges as day roosts by big-eared bats and to document their distribution across the state. During...

For many years, two toll bridges served commuter demand to cross the strait called Bosporus in Istanbul, Turkey. An underground connection Eurasian tunnel had been recently launched relieve strait's traffic. We study a simple transportation model that incorporates forces have come into play after opening of tunnel. find for welfare maximisation, premium paid using should be fixed directions and...
