Russell and Walker proposed different ways of constructing instants from events. As an explanation of “time as a continuum”, Thomason favoured Walker’s construction. The present paper shows that Russell’s construction fares as well. To this end, a mathematical characterization problem is solved which corresponds to the characterization problem that Thomason solved with regard to Walker’s constr...

The taxonomic status of the genus Ambengana Millidge & Russell-Smith, 1992, is revised on the basis of its original description, illustrations and re-examination of the type species. A new synonymy is proposed: Ambengana complexipalpis Millidge & Russell-Smith, 1992 (the type species of Ambengana) syn. n. with Neriene birmanica (Thorell, 1887). Therefore,the genus Ambengana Millidge & Russell-S...

data envelopment analysis (dea) has been long employed as a popular methodology to evaluate the performance of various production activities with multiple inputs and outputs. however, an important issue is that the production process in the real world inevitably generates undesirable outputs (like wastes and pollutants) along with desirable outputs. therefore, the undesirable outputs should be ...

Anchoring or adhering junctions are points at which cells attach to neighboring cells. They play an important role in determining and maintaining tissue organization (for reviews, see Yap et al, 1997; Tsukita et al, 2001; Cheng and Mruk, 2002). In the testis, unique cell-cell actin-based adherens junctions (AJs) between Sertoli cells, as well as between Sertoli and germ cells, and cell-cell int...
