MOTIVATION The growing availability of full-text scientific articles raises the important issue of how to most efficiently digest full-text content. Although article titles and abstracts provide accurate and concise information on an article's contents, their brevity inevitably entails the loss of detail. Full-text articles provide those details, but require more time to read. The primary goal ...

Driven diffusive systems are models from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics where discrete and identical particles move on a fixed lattice. These systems conserve the number of particles and are used to model traffic dynamics, granular systems and various biological processes. Often these systems exhibit a condensation transition, [1]. This means there exists some critical density such that ...

A nonlinear alternative of Leray–Schauder type is presented for condensing operators with closed graph. We will then use this theorem to establish new existence principles for differential and integral inclusions in Banach spaces.

In this paper we investigate the existence and controllability of mild solutions to the first order semilinear evolution inclusions in Banach spaces with nonlocal conditions. We shall rely of a fixed point theorem for condensing maps due to Martelli.

The FATTY ACID ELONGATION1 (FAE1) gene of Arabidopsis is required for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids in the seed. The product of the FAE1 gene is presumed to be a condensing enzyme that extends the chain length of fatty acids from C18 to C20 and C22. We report here the cloning of FAE1 by directed transposon tagging with the maize element Activator (Ac). An unstable fae1 mutant was...

Two hypotheses have been put forward to explain the large accumulation of organic acids in fruits: (a) organic acids are not formed in the fruit, but are translocated from the leaves to the fruits which would act merely as storage organs (1, 2) ; and (b) the presence of the organic acids in fruits is due to the conversion of carbohydrates to organic acids in the fruit vesicles and not to transl...

The effects of antimalarial drugs halofantrine and lumefantrine on the fluoresence anisotropy of diphenylhexatriene (DPH)-containing phospholipid vesicles have been examined. Lumefantrine increases DPH anisotropy, indicating a condensing effect on bilayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (DPPC), dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), egg lecithin and mouse erythrocyte membranes (including membr...

The lipids and proteins of sperm cells are highly regionalized in their lateral distribution. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching studies of sperm membrane component lateral diffusibility have shown that the sperm plasma membrane is also highly regionalized in the extents and rates of diffusion of its surface components. These studies have also shown that regionalized changes in lateral ...
