In the aforementioned article [S1], Brian Conrad kindly pointed out to us that the proof of Proposition 9.8 is incomplete. We provide here the missing arguments together with a few other corrections and use the opportunity to indicate some new consequences of our results, and also mention some applications of the results in [S1]. In what follows, the supplementary references, including the orig...

We show that if f : S1 × S1 → S1 × S1 is C2, with f(x, t) = (ft(x), t), and the rotation number of ft is equal to t for all t ∈ S1, then f is topologically conjugate to the linear Dehn twist of the torus ( 1 1 0 1 ) . We prove a differentiability result where the assumption that the rotation number of ft is t is weakened to say that the rotation number is strictly monotone in t.

Conkunitzin-S1 (Conk-S1) is a 60-residue neurotoxin from the venom of the cone snail Conus striatus that interacts with voltage-gated potassium channels. Conk-S1 shares sequence homology with Kunitz-type proteins but contains only two out of the three highly conserved cysteine bridges, which are typically found in these small, basic protein modules. In this study the three-dimensional structure...

Purpose. Intravascular injection rates are higher during traditional S1 transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) compared with lumbar transforaminal injection. We compared the incidences of intravascular injection between the medial and lateral approaches to the S1 foramen during S1 TFESI. Materials and Methods. A total of 139 patients underwent one or more TFESIs (170 total injections...

This note is an addendum to Sum theorems for monotone operators and convex functions. In it, we prove some new results on convex functions and monotone operators, and use them to show that several of the constraint qualifications considered in the preceding paper are, in fact, equivalent. Introduction We continue with the notation and the numbering of [4]. For the moment, we shall assume that E...

Avulsion of spinal nerve roots in the brachial plexus (BP) can be repaired by crossing nerve transfer via a nerve graft to connect injured nerve ends to the BP contralateral to the lesioned side. Sensory recovery in these patients suggests that the contralateral primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is activated by afferent inputs that bypassed to the contralateral BP. To confirm this hypothesis, t...

Proteolytic cleavage of actin between Gly(42) and Val(43) within its DNase-I-binding loop (D-loop) abolishes the ability of Ca-G-actin to spontaneously polymerize in the presence of KCl. Here we show that such modified actin is assembled into filaments, albeit at a lower rate than unmodified actin, by myosin subfragment 1 (S1) carrying the A1 essential light chain but not by S1(A2). S1 titratio...
