In this paper we define a discrete subset family of a topological space and basis sigma locally finite and sigma discrete. First, we prove an auxiliary fact for discrete family and sigma locally finite and sigma discrete basis. We also show the necessary condition for the Nagata Smirnov theorem: every metrizable space is T3 and has a sigma locally finite basis. Also, we define a sufficient cond...

The small regulatory protein Crl favors association of the stationary-phase sigma factor sigma(S) (RpoS) with the core enzyme polymerase and thereby increases sigma(S) activity. Crl has a major physiological impact at low levels of sigma(S). Here, we report that the Crl effects on sigma(S)-dependent gene expression, the H(2)O(2) resistance of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, and the res...

BACKGROUND Peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs in different cancer subtypes and is associated with a dismal prognosis. Some doubts remain whether the whole abdomen can be treated by regional hyperthermia, therefore we analyzed feasibility conducting a pilot study. METHODS A simulation of the abdominopelvic heat distribution in 11 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis was done using the HyperPl...

We present a unified framework for understanding the compaction of colloidal gels under their own weight. The dynamics of the collapse are determined by the value of the gravitational stress sigma(g), as compared to the yield stress sigma(Y) of the network. For sigma(g)sigma(Y), th...

The six-sigma systems can promote the enterprise competitive ability, such as pursuing cost improvement, promoting quality, the customer’s satisfaction and valid strategy performance. This paper explored the synergies resulting from the combination of state-of-the art quality initiatives, lean and design for Six Sigma, and develop an integrated SCOR with lean and design for Six Sigma methodolog...

this paper presents a comparative analysis between two current control strategies, constant source power and generalized fryze current, used in active power filter (apf) applications having three different modulation methods. the hysteresis band (hb) and first-order delta-sigma modulation (dsm) as well as the second-order dsm is applied. the power section of the active power filter is viewed as...

The paper introduces the emergence and development of Lean Production and Six Sigma management, compares and analyzes on Lean Production and Six Sigma management, it also analyzes the necessary and feasibility in integration of Lean Production and Six Sigma management, and points out the ways for integration of Lean Production and Six Sigma management: integration of organizational management, ...

The existence of multiple receptor sites for the psychotomimetic agents phencyclidine (PCP) and some opiate-benzomorphans such as (+)N-allylnormetazocine ([+]SKF 10,047) in the mammalian central nervous system is well documented. These are: 1) sigma/PCP (sigma p) site, which binds both PCP and psychotomimetic opiates but not antipsychotics such as haloperidol, 2) PCP site, which selectively bin...

Sigma factors provide promoter recognition specificity to RNA polymerase holoenzyme, contribute to DNA strand separation, and then dissociate from the core enzyme following transcription initiation. As the regulon of a single sigma factor can be composed of hundreds of genes, sigma factors can provide effective mechanisms for simultaneously regulating expression of large numbers of prokaryotic ...
