Let k be a field, X a smooth projective surface over k, Y a smooth projective curve over k, and f : X → Y a generically smooth semistable curve of genus g ≥ 2 over Y . Let K be the function field of Y , K the algebraic closure of K, and C the generic fiber of f . For D ∈ Pic(C)(K), let jD : CK → Pic 0(C)K be an embedding defined by jD(x) = x − D. Then, we have the following conjecture due to Bo...

TO THE EDITOR: Francescato et al. (1) contrast the lack of interindividual correlation between the phosphocreatine (PCr) time constant ( PCr) and the ADP concentration ([ADP]) change from rest to steady state ( [ADP]S) during moderate aerobic exercise with the fact that “. . .ADP concentration is commonly thought to be one of the main feedback signals controlling mitochondrial respiration” (1),...

In this paper we show that for a largsubset of utility functions in the space of all C’ urihty functions and for all prices the mean demand of those consumers whose taste is represented by a given utility function in that subset is uniquely determined. This implies that for a large set of economies mean demand is a continuous function. Our analysis uses derivatives of first and of higher order....

Two antigens ('cattle' type and 'Indian Bison' type) of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis were evaluated for diagnosis of Johne's disease (JD) in a gaushala (cattle herd). Of the 160 cows of Sahiwal and Hariana breeds screened, 81 (50.6%) tested positive in ELISA and 66 (41.8%) in AGPT test. Using the two antigens, 33.5% tested positive in both the tests while 41.1% tested negativ...

3/— Abstract. To calculate R, the regulator of a pure cubic field Q(\Jd), a complete period of Voronoi's continued fraction algorithm over Q(\JD) is usually generated. In this paper it is shown how, in certain pure cubic fields, R can be determined by generating only about one third of this period. These results were used on a computer to find R and 3 — then the class number for all pure cubic ...

In this paper we study the cyclical behavior of job and worker flows. Wefindfor the Netherlands that employment and unemployment flows are large, relative to the stocks, that both the sum ofemployment in and outflow and the sum of job creation and destruction (je and jd) move countercyclical. Other issues that we examined include the importance ofaggregate vs. sectoral shocks, the persistence o...
