We give two sufficient conditions for the lattice Co(Rn, X) of relatively convex sets of Rn to be join-semidistributive, where X is a finite union of segments. We also prove that every finite lower bounded lattice can be embedded into Co(Rn, X), for a suitable finite subset X of Rn.

for φ ∈ W 0 ( Ω;R ) with |Dmφ|p(·) ∈ Lloc (Ω) , suppφ ⋐ Ω. Here A denotes a vector field A : Ω × ⊙m(Rn,RN ) → Hom(⊙m(Rn,RN ),R), F : Ω → RN(n+m−1 m ), and p : Ω → (1,∞) a measurable function. ⊙m(Rn,RN ) denotes the space of symmetric m– linear forms on R with values in R . The coefficient A is supposed to have p(x)– growth, i.e. for μ ∈ [0, 1] there holds 〈DzA (x, z)λ, λ〉 ≈ ( μ + |z| ) p(x)−2 2...

The reporting of complications following transperitoneal and retroperitoneal open radical nephrectomy (RN) is nonstandardized. This study aimed to compare early complications between the two approaches using a standardized reporting methodology in a large contemporary cohort. Between 1996 and 2009, 558 patients underwent open RN for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in our two centers (424 from Sun Ya...

High-resolution mapping along the coast and time-series measurements of the radon-222 (Rn) concentrations in the shallow zone in a semi-enclosed sea, Obama Bay, Japan, were undertaken in 2013. The temporal and spatial variations in the Rn concentrations were analyzed in parallel with meteorological conditions, physical–biogeochemical characteristics, and the submarine groundwater discharge (SGD...

Let w∗(x) = a · x + b be an affine function in RN , Ω ⊂ RN , L : RN → R be convex and w be a local minimizer of

BACKGROUND Discrimination between glioblastoma (GB) and radiation necrosis (RN) post-irradiation remains challenging but has a large impact on further treatment and prognosis. In this study, the uptake mechanisms of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), 18F-fluoroethyltyrosine (18F-FET) and 18F-fluoromethylcholine (18F-FCho) positron emission tomography (PET) tracers were investigated in a F98 GB a...
