The present study has used soil samples from Nigeria, contaminated with Brass crude-oil, to determine its biodegradation through enhanced biostimulation with cow dung and periodic aeration. Over a period of twenty-eight days, the hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria (HUB) and hydrocarbon-utilizing fungi (HUF) have been counted and identified. Results from biodegradation of the brass crude-oil over th...

A factorization theory is proposed for Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel operators with almost periodic Fourier symbols. We introduce a factorization concept for the almost periodic Fourier symbols such that the properties of the factors will allow corresponding operator factorizations. Conditions for left, right, or both-sided invertibility of the Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel operators are therefore obtained...

The response of a soap film to the continuous deformation of its wire boundary is considered, with particular attention to the topological transitions that can occur at critical stages of the deformation process. Two well-known examples that have been studied by both theory and experiment are the catenoid suspended between circular wires in parallel planes, and the Möbius-strip soap film spanni...

A density on a locally compact Abelian group G is a bounded system of compatible measures on the compact quotients of G. The notion of density arises naturally both in connection with the theory of uniform distribution and with the theory of almost periodic functions. Our main result effectively answers the question "when are all densities on G induced by measures on some compactification of G?...

In this note we communicate some important remarks about the concepts of almost periodic time scales and almost periodic functions on time scales that are proposed by Wang and Agarwal in their recent papers ( see [7]-[10]).

This paper deals with fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) with leakage delays and proportional delays. Applying the differential inequality strategy, fixed point theorem and almost periodic function principle, some sufficient criteria which ensure the existence and global attractivity of a unique almost periodic solution for fuzzy cellular neuralnetworks with leakage delays and p...

대한신경과학회지 22권 5호 548 Periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN) is a rare type of spontaneous horizontal nystagmus, characterized by periodical reverse of direction with a transition period in between. PAN can occur in both congenital and acquired forms. We report a patient with acquired PAN associated with meningoencephalitis. To our knowledge, only a case of congenital PAN has been previously report...
