The purpose of this article is to prove the relative consistency of certain statements about open colorings with 2א0 < 2א1 . In particular both OCA and the statement that every 1-1 function of size א1 is σ-monotonic are consistent with 2א0 < 2א1 . As a corollary we have that 2א0 < 2א1 does not admit a Pmax variation (in the presence of an inaccessible cardinal). The open coloring axiom, OCA, is...

PURPOSE Antagonists of α1-adrenergic receptors (α1ARs) relax prostate smooth muscle and relieve voiding and storage symptoms. Recently, increased expression of α1ARs with change of its subtype expression has been proved in bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). To search for the evidence of changes in α1ARs subtype expression and activity in the peripheral and spinal routes, the effects of spinal an...

Statistical testing of trait-environment association from data is a challenge as there is no common unit of observation: the trait is observed on species, the environment on sites and the mediating abundance on species-site combinations. A number of correlation-based methods, such as the community weighted trait means method (CWM), the fourth-corner correlation method and the multivariate metho...

If the Bounded Proper Forcing Axiom BPFA holds, then Mouse Reflection holds at א2 with respect to all mouse operators up to the level of Woodin cardinals in the next ZFC–model. This yields that if Woodin’s Pmax axiom (∗) holds, then BPFA implies that V is closed under the “Woodin-in-the-nextZFC–model” operator. We also discuss stronger Mouse Reflection principles which we show to follow from st...

Methods Prospective data from anesthetized patients with HLHS undergoing clinical XMR were analyzed. A fluid filled MR compatible catheter placed in the systemic RV recorded pressures at rest, with dobutamine infusion at 10 mcg/kg/ min and at 20 mcg/kg/min. Simultaneous cine short axis stacks of the ventricle were performed. Pressure-volume loops were constructed. End-systolic pressure-volume r...

The publication research task is related to one of the solution aspects in reference decarbonization transport by transferring operation diesel engines natural gas. results converted into with dual-fuel (D-NG) without significant constructive modifications are focused on forecasting energy efficiency parameters in-service engine models and evaluation reserves improvement. This paper presents ch...

In Source Location (SL) problems the goal is to select a minimum cost source set S such that the connectivity from S to any node v is at least the demand dv of v. In Network Augmentation (NA) problems we are given a graph G = (V,E) and an edge-set F on V , edge-costs on F or node-costs on V , and connectivity requirements {rsv : sv ∈ D} on a set D of “demand edges”. The goal is to compute a min...

Photosynthesis and respiration are vital biological processes that shape the diurnal variability of carbonate chemistry in nearshore waters, presumably ameliorating (daytime) or exacerbating (nighttime) short-term acidification events, which are expected to increase in severity with ocean acidification (OA). Biogenic habitats such as seagrass beds have the capacity to reduce CO2 concentration a...

Six different modules for dry matter production of cauli ̄ower were parameterised and evaluated using a database of 22 cauli ̄ower crops originating from 15 independent ®eld experiments. The evaluation included a light use ef®ciency, LUE, based module assuming LUE to be constant, an LUE based module assuming a linear decrease of LUE with increasing daily photosynthetically active radiation sum, I...

The physiology of ectotherms living in marine environments is strongly influenced by their local thermal experience. Scleractinian corals near optimums are increasingly vulnerable to bleaching and mortality as oceanic heat waves increase globally. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) below 30 m depths characteristically cooler than adjacent shallow water reefs, which according theory should resul...
