Let K be a finite, connected, abstract simplicial complex. The Morse complex of K, first introduced by Chari and Joswig, is the constructed from all gradient vector fields on K. We show that if neither boundary n-simplex nor cycle, then Aut(M(K))≅Aut(K). In case where K=Cn, cycle length n, we Aut(M(Cn))≅Aut(C2n). When K=∂Δn, prove Aut(M(∂Δn))≅Aut(∂Δn)×Z2. These results are based recent work Cap...

A warfarin-resistant strain and a warfarin-susceptible strain of wild rats (Rattus norvegicus) maintained in enclosures of the National Veterinary School of Lyon (France) were studied to determine the mechanism of the resistance to anticoagulant rodenticides. A low vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) activity has been reported for many resistant rat strains. As recently suggested, mutations in t...

The wind loads considerably influence lightweight spatial structures. An example of spatial structures is scallop domes that contain various configurations and forms and the wind impact on a scallop dome is more complex due to its additional curvature. In our work, the wind pressure coefficient (Cp ) on the scallop dome surface is studied numerically and experimentally. Firstly, the programming...

A major difference between the Na,K-ATPase ion pump and other P-type ATPases is its ability to bind cardiotonic steroids such as ouabain. Na,K-ATPase also interacts with many membrane and cytosolic proteins. In addition to their role in Na,K-ATPase regulation, it became apparent that some of the newly identified interactions are capable of organizing the Na,K-ATPase into various signaling compl...

A finite element method (FEM) for solving a complex valued k(ω) vs. ω dispersion curve of a 3D metamaterial/photonic crystal system is presented. This 3D method is a generalization of a previously reported 2D eigenvalue method [Opt. Express 15, 9681 (2007)]. This method is particularly convenient for analyzing periodic systems containing dispersive (e.g., plasmonic) materials, for computing iso...

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is the complication of some injuries, such as a fracture, which affects the distal end of the injured extremity characterized by pain, allodynia, hyperalgesia, edema, abnormal vasomotor and sudomotor activity, movement disorders, joint stiffness, regional osteoporosis, and dystrophic changes in soft tissue. Exact pathogenic mechanism of CRPS is still unclea...

The motivation for this paper comes from the Halperin–Carlsson conjecture for (real) moment-angle complexes. We first give an algebraic combinatorics formula for the Möbius transform of an abstract simplicial complex K on [m] = {1, . . . ,m} in terms of the Betti numbers of the Stanley–Reisner face ring k(K) of K over a field k. We then employ a way of compressing K to provide the lower bound o...

This paper presents a hardware architecture of complex K-best Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) decoder reducing the complexity of Maximum Likelihood (ML) detector. We develop a novel low-power VLSI design of complex K-best decoder for 8 × 8 MIMO and 64 QAM modulation scheme. Use of Schnorr-Euchner (SE) enumeration and a new parameter, Rlimit in the design reduce the complexity of calculati...

LetX be a smooth complex variety of dimension at most two, and let F be its function ¢eld. We prove that the K -groups of F are divisible above the dimension of X, and that the K-groups of X are divisible-by-¢nite.We also describe the torsion in the K -groups of F and X.
