The Continuum Hypothesis implies an Erdös-Sierpiński like duality between the ideal of first category subsets of R , and the ideal of countable dimensional subsets of R. The algebraic sum of a Hurewicz subset a dimension theoretic analogue of Sierpinski sets and Lusin sets of R with any compactly countable dimensional subset of R has first category.

Murine splenic stroma has been found to provide an in vitro niche for hematopoiesis of dendritic-like APC. Two distinct cell types have been characterized. The novel "L-DC" subset has cross-presenting capacity, leading to activation of CD8(+) T cells, but not activating CD4(+) T cells, which is consistent with their CD11c(lo)CD11b(hi)MHC-II(-) phenotype. For L-DC, an equivalent tissue-specific ...

The paper deals with the reliability–based design optimization (RBDO) of concrete gravity dams subjected to earthquake load using subset simulation. The optimization problem is formulated such that the optimal shape of concrete gravity dam described by a number of variables is found by minimizing the total cost of concrete gravity dam for the given target reliability. In order to achieve this p...

in the transformation semigroup (x, s) we introduce the height of a closed nonempty invariant subset of x, define the transformed dimension of nonempty subset s of x and obtain some results and relations.

Several signed excedance-like statistics have nice formulae or generating functions when summed over the symmetric group and over its subset of derangements. We give counterparts of some of these results when we sum over the hyperoctahedral group and its subset of derangements. Our results motivate us to define and derive attractive bivariate formulae which generalise some of these results for ...

Computational approaches to reference resolution, like Centering Theory, are best at resolving referring expressions which denote familiar referents. We demonstrate how, by taking a proof-theoretic approach to reference resolution within a Centering-type framework, we are able to make sense of referring expressions for unfamiliar referents. These include, in addition to bridging descriptions, d...

Poor prognosis and high recurrence remain leading causes of primary liver cancer-associated mortality. The spread of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood plays a major role in the initiation of metastasis and tumor recurrence after surgery. Nevertheless, only a subset of CTCs can survive, migrate to distant sites and establish secondary tumors. Consistent with cancer stem cell (CSC) hypo...

Numerous research works about the extraction of low-level features from images and videos have been published. However, only recently the focus has shifted to exploiting low-level features to classify images and videos automatically into semantically meaningful and broad categories. In this paper, novel classification algorithms are presented for three broad and generalpurpose categories. In de...
