Context. This paper presents a reconstruction of the gravitational lens SL2S02176-0513 using the singular perturbative method presented in Alard 2007, MNRAS Letters, 382, 58 and Alard, C., 2008, MNRAS, 388, 375. Aims. The ability of the perturbative method to separate the inner and outer contributions of the potential in gravitational lenses is tested using SL2S02176-0513. In this lens, the gra...

OBJECTIVE #ENTITYSTARTX02014; This study is to explore the effect of valsartan-eluting stents on neointima formation after stenting and to elucidate possible mechanisms how locally used valsartan prevents in-stent restenosis (ISR). METHOD valsartan- and carriereluting stents were manufactured by using multi-layer-coated technology. Bare stents, carrier-eluting stents and valsartan- eluting st...

We study hamiltonian actions of compact groups in the presence of compatible involutions. We show that the lagrangian fixed point set on the symplectically reduced space is isomorphic to the disjoint union of the involutively reduced spaces corresponding to involutions on the group strongly inner to the given one. Our techniques imply that the solution to the eigenvalues of a sum problem for a ...

Examination of the bulbs of Lilium pumilum (Liliaceae) led to the isolation of four novel steroidal glycosides (1-4) with a 2,3,4-trisubstituted β-d-glucopyranosyl unit. In 1 and 3, the α-L-arabinopyranosyl moiety is linked to C-3 of the inner trisubstituted β-D-glucopyranosyl group and is present as an usual ⁴C₁ conformation. In contrast, in 2 and 4, the α-L-arabinopyranosyl moiety, which is a...

background: motorcycle accidents and sport accidents lead yearly to many head injuries like head fractures and concussion. so finding the most proper helmet for reducing the injuries to head can be very helpful for head protection in such cases. methods: after 3d modeling of the helmet and head and meshing the model, a compressive impacting load of 1.31mpa was exerted on head and the model was ...

We consider a singularly perturbed elliptic equation with superlinear nonlinearity on an annulus in R, and look for solutions which are invariant under a fixed point free 1-parameter group action. We show that this problem can be reduced to a non-homogeneous equation on a related annulus in dimension R. The ground state solutions of this equation are single peak solutions which concentrate near...

Intravenous drug use has been a serious problem for Dublin's deprived inner city areas since the late 1970's. In 1985, a cohort of all known intravenous drug users (IVDUs) was identified in one inner city electoral cohort and has been followed since then. The cohort was identified before the introduction of HIV testing. The prevalence of HIV infection and its consequences have continued to rise...
