We study the C∗-algebra of Wiener–Hopf operators AΩ on a cone Ω with polyhedral base P. As is known, a sequence of symbol maps may be defined, and their kernels give a filtration by ideals of AΩ, with liminary subquotients. One may define K-group valued “index maps” between the subquotients. These form the E1 term of the Atiyah–Hirzebruch type spectral sequence induced by the filtration. We sho...

A 78 year-old man developed sudden-onset aphasia and right hemiparesis 14 days after hospitalisation for severe cellulitis, for which he was receiving meropenem and clindamycin. His medical history included a porcine aortic valve replacement and atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran (a direct thrombin inhibitor, DTI) 150mg twice daily. His weight was 79kg, body mass index 25mg/m, and esti...

To investigate the feasibility of using salivary urea nitrogen as an index of renal glomerular filtration rate, we developed and applied a new analytical system consisting of a urease-containing test strip and an automatic reflectance spectrometer. The concentrations of urea nitrogen so determined correlate well (r = 0.93) with concentrations in serum. These preliminary data suggest that our me...

The weight-monodromy conjecture claims the coincidence of the shifted weight filtration and the monodromy filtration on étale cohomology of a proper smooth variety over a complete discrete valuation field. Although it was already proved in some cases, the case of dimension ≥ 3 in mixed characteristic is still unproved up to now. The aim of this paper is to prove the weight-monodromy conjecture ...

High potential iron sulfur protein (HIPIP) of the purple sulfur bacterium Chromatium warmingii was purified to homogeneity by ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and ammonium sulfate fractionation. The acidic protein was isolated in the reduced form. The best purity index (A280/A388) obtained was 2.52, and 3.8 mumol of the protein was isolated out of 100 g wet cell material. The molecul...

In order to assessment of SDI system application in the condition of wastewater reuse, three treatments with three replications were design. These treatments included check treatment with drinking water (CH), surface drip irrigation with wastewater (DI) and subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater (SDI). In addition, before pipeline, a SDI filtration designed to improve biological index of wa...

We introduce a new filtering method for approximate string matching called the suffix filter. It has some similarity with well-known filtration algorithms, which we call factor filters, and which are among the best practical algorithms for approximate string matching using a text index. Suffix filters are stronger, i.e., produce fewer false matches than factor filters. We demonstrate experiment...

introduction: blood contamination of the canal during preparation can be a major problem in endodontics; this may result in apical microleakage. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of blood on apical microleakage of a resin-based root canal sealer (ah26) and a polymer-based root canal sealer (epiphany). materials & methods: in this experimental study, 50 decoronated centra...

We study the slice filtration for the K-theory of a sheaf of Azumaya algebras A, and for the motive of a Severi-Brauer variety, the latter in the case of a central simple algebra of prime degree over a field. Using the Beilinson-Lichtenbaum conjecture, we apply our results to show the vanishing of SK2(A) for a central simple algebra A of square-free index (prime to the characteristic). This pro...

It has long been known that a Milnor invariant with no repeated index is an invariant of link homotopy. We show that Milnor’s invariants with repeated indices are invariants not only of isotopy, but also of self Ck-moves. A self Ck-move is a natural generalization of link homotopy based on certain degree k clasper surgeries, which provides a filtration of link homotopy classes.
