Two genetically engineered strains of mice were used to characterize murine cone function electroretinographically, without interference of rod-driven responses: (1) mice with a deletion of the gene for the rod transducin alpha-subunit (transducin alpha-/-), and (2) mice with rod arrestin deleted (arrestin -/-). In the first three months of age, both strains have a normal complement of rods and...

For a hyperbolic knot, the excellent curve is the component of the character variety containing the complete hyperbolic structure on the complement of the knot. In this paper we introduce the concept of net presentation of a knot with 2n strings which generalises the well known plat presentation of a knot with 2n strings. Nets with 4 strings are the correct setting to apply quaternion methods t...

In recent years a new approach has emerged for analyzing the stability properties of constrained stochastic processes. In this approach, one associates with the stochastic model a deterministic model (or a family of deterministic models), and, under appropriate conditions, stability of the stochastic model follows if all solutions of the deterministic model are attracted to the origin. In the p...

The Ribbon NAPL Sampler (RNS) is a direct sampling device that provides detailed depth discrete mapping of Non Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs) in a borehole. This characterization method provides a yes or no answer to the presence of NAPLs and is used to complement and enhance other characterization techniques. Several cone penetrometer deployment methods are in use and methods for other drilling...

background: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (fsgs) is a type of nephrotic syndrome which is diagnosed by renal biopsy. degree of the proteinuria, renal dysfunction, histologic findings and the response to therapy are some factors used for evaluating the prognosis of fsgs. objectives: in the present study, we attempted to discover some protein candidates for disease prognosis related to glome...

Introduction: To achieve a successful endodontic treatment, the clinician has to identify the different canal configurations.mandibular premolars have the wide variety of root canal morphology and they are known as the most difficult teeth to treat in endodontics.CBCT  provides a non-invasive 3D confirmatory diagnosis as a complement to conventional radiography.The aim of this study was to...

In this paper, we introduce the cone normed spaces and cone bounded linear mappings. Among other things, we prove the Baire category theorem and the Banach--Steinhaus theorem in cone normed spaces.
