the geometry of a system of second order differential equations is the geometry of a semispray, which is a globally defined vector field on tm. the metrizability of a given semispray is of special importance. in this paper, the metric associated with the semispray s is applied in order to study some types of foliations on the tangent bundle which are compatible with sode structure. indeed, suff...

this study was conducted on the atrioventricular node (avn) and atrioventricular bundle (avb) of fivefour-month-old ovine fetuses. the histological structure of these components was studied by routinehistological techniques and use of specific staining methods. the avn was caudally located adjacent to theroot of the aorta. it was almost spherical in shape and consisted of twisty cells. the node...

in this paper we introduce the concept of dirac structures on (hermitian) modules and vectorbundles and deduce some of their properties. among other things we prove that there is a one to onecorrespondence between the set of all dirac structures on a (hermitian) module and the group of allautomorphisms of the module. this correspondence enables us to represent dirac structures on (hermitian)mod...

background differentiating ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy is important both prognostically and therapeutically, although it may be difficult clinically. objectives we aimed to determine the diagnostic power of cardiogoniometry (cgm) in the differentiation of the ischemic from the nonischemic etiology of left bundle branch block (lbbb). patients and methods we studied 37 patients with ...

a module is said to be $pi$-extending provided that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand of the module. in this paper, we focus on direct summands and indecomposable decompositions of $pi$-extending modules. to this end, we provide several counter examples including the tangent bundles of complex spheres of dimensions bigger than or equal to 5 and certain hyper ...

Commodity bundling is studied in an environment where the dispersion of valuations unambiguously decreases when two or more goods are sold as a bundle only. Bundling is more likely to dominate separately selling the goods if marginal costs are low relative to the average valuation, or if the distribution of valuations is very peaked around the mean. ∗This note unbundles results previously provi...

We prove that any PSLG has a conforming quadrilateral mesh with O(n) elements, all angles ≤ 120◦ and all new angles ≥ 60◦ (the complexity and the angle bounds are both sharp). Moreover, all but O(n) of the angles may be taken in a smaller interval, say [89◦, 91◦]. Date: January 2011. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary: 30C62 Secondary:

Once thought of being useful primarily for planning the location of telecommunication antennas, it has become clear in the meantime that three-dimensional city models are of importance in their own right. This paper presents some of our latest results on the reconstruction of building models from laser scanning DSM’s and digital ground plans. First, we show how buildings can be reconstructed fr...
