We show that the Cayley graph of the fundamental group of a closed aspherical manifold with the hypereuclidean universal cover cannot contain an expander. This rules out for recent Gromov’s examples of exotic groups an approach to the Novikov Conjecture via the hypereuclideanness developed by Connes, Gromov and Moscovici [G],[CGM] and in a different languages by Ferry and Weinberger [FW],[DF], ...

Ocular metastasis of renal cell carcinoma is rare, and metastasis to the iris or ciliary body is especially uncommon. Ferry and Font studied 227 cases of metastatic tumors of the eye and orbit and reported that 26 (11.5%) of these lesions were iris or ciliary body tumors and that 2 (0.9%) originated in the kidney. We examined a patient with an iris tumor that metastasized from a renal cell carc...

Alg@line is a forerunner in the field of monitoring research using commercial ferries. In 1992 the Finnish Institute of Marine Research started systematic measurements on board ferry Finnjet, crossing the Baltic Sea Proper, using unattended recording and sampling system. Alg@line co-operation project nowadays uses several approaches to integrate operationally ecological and environmental inform...

Private road associations (PRAs) manage two thirds of the road network in Sweden. They manage the roads at less cost and with better results than the Government road agencies. In fact, the PRAs perform so well that some urban municipalities request the associations to manage the municipal roads which connect to the private roads. There are also PRAs that are responsible for ferry services, for ...
