Spindle poles are discernible by light microscopy as the sites where microtubules converge at the ends of both mitotic and meiotic spindles. In most cell types centrosomes are present at spindle poles due to their dominant role in microtubule nucleation. However, in some specialized cell types microtubules converge into spindle poles in the absence of centrosomes. Thus, spindle poles in centros...

In the paper, we consider local aspects of the entropy of nonautonomous dynamical systems. For this purpose, we introduce the notion of a (asymptotical) focal entropy point. The notion of entropy appeared as a result of practical needs concerning thermodynamics and the problem of information flow, and it is connected with the complexity of a system. The definition adopted in the paper specifies...

In this paper, we motivate the importance of the field of mobile computing and survey current practical and formal approaches. We argue that the existing formalisms are not sufficiently general and powerful because they do not model all necessary concepts of mobility adequately. The main contribution of the paper is, therefore, to identify and define the fundamental concepts of mobile systems b...

Assessment of community care.

A computational approach providing a focus for unsupervised, reactive, data mining is suggested. In data mining, achieving focus is an important issue. This is because there are too many attributes and values in a real database to consider them all. A soft focus is suggested as both data and the focus product may be imprecise. An approach is suggested for unsupervised search controlled by progr...

Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide and unsuccessful therapy is mainly due to non-compliance with very prolonged treatments, often associated with severe side-effects. Overcoming this problem demands the introduction of drug carriers releasing the antimicrobial agents in a targeted and sustained manner, allowing reduction in frequency and dosing numbers. Nano-...

the present study attempts to explore how the so far mainly literary issue of the unreliable narratives/narrators, can be formulated and dealt with in cinema. thus, in order to analyze the form and function of such narratives/narrators in cinema, the present paper tries to discover how the author(s) of the cinematic narrative (the overall collaboration of the screenwriter, the director, the cin...
