Eric van Douwen [vD93] produced a maximal crowded extremally disconnected regular space and showed that its Stone-Čech compactification is an at most two-to-one image of βN. We prove that there are non-homeomorphic such images. We also develop some related properties of spaces which are absolute retracts of βN expanding on earlier of work in [BBS94, Sim87].

The classic archetypal function of nuclear bodies is to accelerate specific reactions within their crowded space. In this issue, Tatomer et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201504043) provide the first direct evidence that the histone locus body acts to concentrate key factors required for the proper processing of histone pre-mRNAs.

In this paper we present a novel broadband approach for the extraction of dispersion curves of multiple time frequency overlapped dispersive modes such as in borehole acoustic data. The new approach works jointly in the Fourier and space time domains and, in contrast to existing space time approaches that mainly work for time frequency separated signals, efficiently handles multiple signals wit...

Mechanical phenotyping of single cells is an emerging tool for cell classification, enabling assessment of effective parameters relating to cells' interior molecular content and structure. Here, we present iso-acoustic focusing, an equilibrium method to analyze the effective acoustic impedance of single cells in continuous flow. While flowing through a microchannel, cells migrate sideways, infl...
