Public transport networks (PTNs) are often researched without reference to their geographical embedding. The question arises if there is any underlying structure or principle characterizing the observed behavior of geographically embedded transport routes. Here, we focus on the scaling properties of PTNs in Space L through fractal analysis and consider the effect of the real bus routes, which r...

Leelamine is an anticancer chemotherapeutic agent inhibiting intracellular cholesterol transport. Cell death mediated by leelamine occurs due to the lysosomotropic property of the compound, its accumulation in the lysosome, and inhibition of cholesterol transport leading to lack of availability for key processes required for functioning of cancer cells. The present study dissects the structure-...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interleukin (IL)-6 and TIE2 gene polymorphisms on baseline peritoneal transport property. DESIGN An observational study. SETTING Renji Hospital in Shanghai, China. PARTICIPANTS This study included 220 patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD). OUTCOME MEASURES Patients were divided into 2 groups based o...

It is a troubling time to be an animal rights activist in Canada. Recently, Alberta adopted legislation create harsh penalties for trespassing onto private property, obtaining permission enter property based on false pretences, and interfering with vehicles public highways. These laws relate agricultural lands, generally, and, where roads are concerned, property. Ontario has similar aimed speci...

The three universally accepted mechanisms of chloride transport across plasma membranes are: (i) sodium-coupled symport; (ii) anion-coupled antiport; and (iii) coupling to primary ion transport through electrical and/or chemical mechanisms. No direct evidence has been provided for primary chloride transport despite numerous reports of cellular, anion-stimulated ATPases and of chloride transport...

We address the Monge problem in metric spaces with a geodesic distance: (X, d) is a Polish space and dN is a geodesic Borel distance which makes (X, dN ) a possibly branching geodesic space. We show that under some assumptions on the transference plan we can reduce the transport problem to transport problems along family of geodesics. We introduce three assumptions on a given dN -monotone trans...

The article explores the subject of diversification local tax policy and its fiscal consequences in Poland 2007–2019. It focuses on various types municipalities governance tools they use (establishing rates, applying exemptions non-statutory reliefs). analysed taxes include immovable property (property tax, agricultural tax) movable ones (tax means transport). Theoretical empirical analyses con...

Correction for ‘Structure–property relationships of diketopyrrolopyrrole- and thienoacene-based A–D–A type hole transport materials efficient perovskite solar cells’ by Gururaj P. Kini et al. , New J. Chem. 2022, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d2nj00294a.

Let (X, d,m) be a proper, non-branching, metric measure space. We show existence and uniqueness of optimal transport maps for cost written as non-decreasing and strictly convex functions of the distance, provided (X, d,m) satisfies a new weak property concerning the behavior of m under the shrinking of sets to points, see Assumption 1. This in particular covers spaces satisfying the measure con...

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has emerged as a cost-effective transport system for urban mobility. However its ability to stimulate land development remains largely unexplored. The study makes use of qualitative (interview method) and quantitative analysis (questionnaire survey and longitudinal analysis of property data) to investigate land development impact resulting from BRT in Beijing, China. The...
