It is generally accepted that complement may be split into a mid-piece and an end-piece. The mid-piece is thought to be in the globulin fraction, and the end-piece in the albumin fraction. The restoration of complement activity by putting together the albumin and globulin fractions does not prove, however, that each fraction contained a part of the complement, for the albumin fraction can be re...

Superunification underwent a major paradigm shift in 1984 when eleven-dimensional supergravity was knocked off its pedastal by ten-dimensional superstrings. This last year has witnessed a new shift of equal proportions: perturbative ten-dimensional superstrings have in their turn been superseded by a new non-perturbative theory called M-theory, which describes supermembranes and superfivebranes...

Here we list the equal norm Parseval frames for Hilbert spaces as of 2005. We will continue to update this list as new examples become known. The first author was supported by NSF DMS 0405376. 1

Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for thousands of years and an impressive number of modern drugs has been isolated from natural sources, many based on their use in traditional medicine.Plant extracts are attractive sources of new drugs and have been shown to produce promising results in the treatment of various diseases.Crataegus oxyacantha Linn., commonly known as Hawthorn, is one ...

In today's business environment in which coordination and adaptation with constant changes are the only ways of survival, real-time monitoring of activities and making the decisions accordingly are necessary. Since performance measurement cannot be managed independent of business processes, Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) systems should monitor performance metrics based on business processes...
